Off campus center
College to expand
In an effort to serve the surrounding
population better the College’s Board of
Education is seriously looking into the
possiblities of establishing an off-
campus center for the College,
hopefully in the Milwaukie area.
There is an immediate urgency for the
College to move beyond its friendly
Beavercreek confines and expand into
other parts of our fast-growing county.
Bob Ellis, associate dean of com
munity education, has stressed that
with Portland Community College’s ex
pansion into southeast Portland, with
their full-program center on 82nd Ave.,
that it would actually be just as easy for
students living in the North Clackamas
area to go north to PCC as it would be
for them to go south to CCC.
This could obviously pose a threat to
the College’s enrollment, which is a
good enough reason to be contem
plating expansion, but not necessarily
the only reason.
In a school board meeting Nov. 14,
Ellis reported that there are now bet
ween 800 and 1,000 students per quar
ter coming from North Clackamas high
schools but there are no facilities now
available in their area to offer daytime
classes.
These facts make it obvious that the
establishment of an off-campus center
I” in the Milwaukie area will soon become
essential in order for the College to
keep up with the county’s continuous
expansion to the north of the present
campus site.
Already the Clackamas Town Center
(a project which will include a shopping
mall expected to be one of the largest
on the west coast, and condominiums
initially expected to house 10,000 new
residents) is under construction on
Sunnyside Road and 82nd Ave. This in
flux of new Clackamas County residents
is another reason why an off-campus
center should be included in the
College’s future.
It appears that the College has
recognized that an off-campus center
has become a necessity for the years to
come, and has already begun to find
some immediate solutions.
Ellis has indicated that the College
will be working closely with Clackamas
County, the North Clackamas School
District, the Milwaukie City Council
and Education Service District.
Clackamas County has already begun a
site feasibility study and there is a
possibility that all four groups may
share a multi-use facility between them.
All the details of exactly where a
facility will be and the cost factor in
volved will be decided in April, but the
College has noticed a need for expan
sion in the community and has taken
positive action in their goal to keep ser
ving the community efficiently and ef
fectively.
curling purple plumes of bur
ning “coffin nails.”
I urge all who are gladdened
by this development to demon
strate their support of the
clean-air movement at this
college by filling the newly
gained territory, thereby
showing the administration our
true numbers. In terms of the
future, we must seek a higher
profile if we hope to influence
school planning in our direc
tion. We have to become
visible as a faction to be con
sidered when the cafeteria is
enlarged.
Heaven knows fhe smoking
population of the College is
visible. Scarcely a hall or office
goes unpolluted, and even
classrooms are not sacrosanct
to some students and faculty
who cannot or will not control
their nicotine cravings.
Smokers certainly have the
right to pollute their own
bodies. But I draw the line at
their right to contaminate en
closed, commonly used air.
Courtesy or cowardice often
prevents non-smokers from
voicing their objections to
cigarette smoking, but I seldom
see it interfere with a smoker’s
need for a “fix.”
Non-smokers, unite. Maybe

Eleven give views
What do you think of
reinstating the draft?
DOUG JONES(19): “I think
it’s wrong. It’s a violation of my
rights to be forced to do
something I don’t believe in,
like war. However, if it’s war, I
will go.”
CARIN CHEEK(18): “I don’t
like the idea of it. I don’t think
it’s fair to make people go to
war. It’s too bad there is no one
in government that is able to
find another solution other
than war.”
NORM KUHLMAN (coun
selor) : “It concerns me because
I have a son of draftable age.
We have to have registration
before war. It’s vital that the
government knows where the
national resources are.”
NORM BERNEY (coun
selor): “I think it’s necessary.
But the draft should only be
used during actual war time.”
ROBIN
KOON
(1.7):
“They’re not taking me.
They’re going to be taking
guys, so I’m not worried.
They’ll be taking people who
aren’t in college before me.”
BARBARA ERICKSON
(31): “It’s something we owe to
our country. It’s a way of taking
care of ourselves. I do believe
that women should be drafted;
however, 1 do like one com
ment that a woman said: I’ll be,
glad to be drafted as soon as
the ERA is passed.”
JEFF MC CALL (19): “Per
sonally, I don’t think there,
should be one, unless we ac
tually have to. If we did go to
war, I’d see the point.”
CATHY ZINCK (18): “I
don’t like it. I haven’t really
thought about it. It seems far
away.”
JIM NOSEN (25): “I think
it’s a scare tactic for Russia. It
lets them know that we’re not
just talking and we’re ready for
action. You have to start
registration now because it’s
going to take time to get
everything set up. We can’t
wait for a war time situation.”
CHRIS WIBLE (18): “I don’t
think it’s needed unless there is
a definite threat to the U.S.
government. Registration is all
right, but chances are, if there
is registration, the draft isn’t far
behind.”
SANDY CARTER (33): “I
really think that it wouldn’t hurt
any 18-year-old of either sex to
put in a year in a basic training
situation. Not killing training,
but a public service, physical
fitness situation. If women want
equal rights, they should
register for the draft, too.”
