CLACKAMAS COMMUNITY Vol. XIII, No. 19 Flags still fly for hostages in Iran By Lee Jeffries Of The Print W-Group gets a closer look at the volcano Mt. St. Helens.

No one in the world ws the answer to that stion. Mount St. Helens Id just eject a little ash, or «15 to 20 years of sporadic vitiy. 1 don’t think we have to worry about anything catastrophic. The chances of that is slim. There’s not much you can predict until it hap pens.” “Mount St. Helens is a young and recently active (1857 was its last eruption) volcano, about four to six thousand years old. It’s not surprising it went off,” Snively said. Even though he does not know how long the Mount St. Helens eruption will last, Snively said, “I’m hoping that the volcano will go for a while. I haven’t seen it yet, and on the first good, sunny day I’ll probably drop everything, grab all the students who want to go, and go.” At least one member of the College staff has already tried to see the volcano in action. Bonnie Hartley-Linse, student health nurse, flew over the mountain in a light plane with her family last week. “I do have an interest in geology, and we tried to see it, but we could just see the base of the mountain and snow. From our vantage, we really didn’t see the ash and discoloration. Ours wasn’t that big of a deal,” she said. Hartley-Linse also said, “The visibility toward the ground was good, but they were prohibiting going into the cloud cover. I was surprised that there weren’t more planes. I would like to go up again.” At a regular meeting on Mar ch 6, the Associated Student Government clarified the pur pose of the 50 flags flying in front of the College Com munity Center. The week before, the College was the scene of a debate on the purpose of the flags. Some saw them; as a show of support for Carter’s foreign policies while others saw them as a comment on the draft. Still others maintained that the only purpose of the flags was to show the College’s support of the American hostages in Iran. Here are the minutes from the March 6 meeting concer ning the flags: “Max (Vincent Maxian) reported that the senate would like to strike from the minutes made 1-3-80 and state that the 50 flags are in honor of, sup port of, and coneern for the 50 hostages held in Iran. In no way would this reflect on the President’s foreign policies. A consensus was made and it carried unanimously to strike and insert the statement into the minutes.” ASG President Don Porter told The Print, “The wording on the original motion (when the flags were first raised) back in January was a mistake on my part. I’m glad to see that everything worked out fine. ” Also at the meeting a motion was made to send a letter to the U.S. Congress. According to the minutes, “Tony Taylor en tertained a motion to act as representative of the Student Body and draft a letter of con cern about our hostages and the rather disordinate efforts of our President’s foreign policies and send it to our respective congressional representatives so they will know how we as a Student Body feel. Much discussion went on and the Chairman put a limit on debate to two minutes per person. Cindy Walls asked to table the motion until the nex5 meeting and Eric Etsel asked if it was to kill it or postpone it. It was to postpone it. A vote was taken: 15 for, 8 against. The, notion was tabled until the next meeting.” At the next meeting, Reed Campbell moved to postpone the question indefinitely and the motion carried. ASG Secretary Terri McCoy said that the reason the motion was postponed indefinitely was that ASG senators had an op portunity to talk to members of the student body and the general consensus was that there wouldn’t be much sup port for that motion. specific careers in focus during week wastewater treatment rapidly expanding field has to offer.

That is what the career focus week is designed to correct. In the Portland metropolitan area alone, approximately 20 to 30 job openings in these fields occur each year. The need for more treatment plants is on the increase, so the job market for the future looks ex cellent for the next 10 to 15 years. The counseling department urges that students interested in this vast field take advantage of this opportunity to find out about wastewater and water works technology.
