Now, can I go to the cafeteria without fear?- by Tod Bassham C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C. investigates scam Ever since Watergate, Americans have had little, trust in the honesty of administrative personnel. Presidents down to the lowliest civil servant are universally assumed to be the crooks they usually are. Well, Gentle Reader, I fear to inform you that corruption has reared its loathsome head, even within the precincts- of oilr hallowed halls. The Clackamas Community College Crack Counter Com munist Corruption Crew (C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.), ever ready to defend the Truth, Honor and the student body, ha’sia uncovered a vicious plot in our very midst. Many of you out there have no doubt noticed the posters hanging around campus adver tising the new “Poster Girl” at ASG who will personally go around tacking up the various posters submitted to her. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Almost too good. Was this claim true? Or was it just another Fascist plot to subvert the American Way of Life: Justice, Freedom, and Trust in our Fellow man? Ever suspicious, the intrepid C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C. In vestigators Edeena Haffner and my humble self decided to test this supposed “civil service.” Accordingly, we comman deered as bait the posters for the new play, “Wings,” and marched over to the ASG pf- fice to have them approved and hung up by the Poster Girl. feedback Fellow journalist praises paper To the editor: The April 30 story on Sue Hanneman and Dani Varner was good—I was especially impressed with the lead and Kelly Laughlin calling nain a four-letter word—and it in spired me to do something I’ve been intending to do for a while. As community editor of The Print’s Chemeketa counterpart, the Courier 4, it is up to me to plow through the newpapers of all the other Oregon com munity colleges as well as some of the state university papers and a few weird and obscure papers from weird and obscure colleges in Idaho, Iowa and such. Homosexuals insulted Editor of The Print In the May 7th issue, The Print referred to California as “the state that brought us suicidal cults and homosexual politicians.” This is an unfor tunate juxtaposition, as it im plies that persons such as Har vey Milk have some similarity to the people who produced Page 2 the Guyana suicide/murders. The clever turn of a phrase does not justify what amounts to an unfair, and unkind, im plication. We have homosexual people here at CCC whom The Print has unintentionally insulted. Marlene Tufts Psychology teacher Generally when I see my mailbox filled with newsprint I cringe—if anything I needed to know was happening on these boondock campuses I could never figure it out. The writing and format of most of these papers is so bad it makes my eyes hurt. The Print, however, is an island of reasonable journalism in a sea of garbage. I look for ward to reading it along with Lane’s Torch. You folks ob viously regard journalism as seriously as I and our staff down here do. That’s comfor ting. Hang in there, group, all of us are almost finished. Sincerely, Karen Shaughnessy Community Editor Courier 4 Well, Friends, our posters were never posted by any Poster Girl. Our darkest fears were realized when we discovered that the “Poster Girl” was in reality a Poster “Guy.” Was this just the tip of the iceberg? We talked to this Poster “Guy” as he stamped our little posters, and finally he cracked under the strain of our inten sive interrogating. The hideous truth came out: We were ex pected to post those dumb posters,’-not this Poster Guy. Treachery most Foul!! Our Righteous Wrath bur ning inside us, we stalked back to our typewriters to expos this conspiracy. Luckily for th! unity of our little College, wi met on our way Vincent “Mas Maxian. Hearing of the plot wj had uncovered, he took tn posters and assured us thl they would be hung up th] next day (which, as it turns out, they were). Thus was thl College saved from scandal. I If the truth be told, however, I for one was a little disappoin ted. The idea of a pretty Poster Girl in a bikini and wearing roller skates rolling around the campus posting up posters dies hard, I guess. gprint The Print, a member of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers!
