Poor location detracts
from unveiling of statue
Well, so what happened? The College
paid $9,000 so the Joe Meek statue could
be displayed, but the official unveiling,
just didn’t come off too successfully.
It seemed about the only thing that
went right on “Joe Meek Day” last Thurs
day was that many of Meek’s relatives
showed for the unveiling. Although, it was
apparent that they were pretty upset with
the cafeteria location of the ceremony.
As people talked and enjoyed their
lunches in the usual manner, every once in
awhile, a Meek relative would turn toward
the lunch-time eaters with dirty looks.
Of course, it wasn’t really the lunch
goer’s fault, since they were eating in a
cafeteria, and isn’t that what a cafeteria is
for?
Last Friday, there was another invited
speaker who spoke in the outside dining
Bizarre
Restauranteurs tell me
these “things” are unavoidable;
it’s not their fault. Not bad
food. No, I mean those
“things” that wind up on your
plate with the menus
designated edible “things.”
By Mike Rose
Thus, we enter the world
of the unexplained, the things
found on the tables of some
restaurants. The sticky, gritty,
fuzzy “things.”

room, where the Meek unveiling had taken
place. Only this time, the area was closed
off to the lunch-goers and this seemed to
make the difference.
If this would have been done on Joe
Meek Day, the event could have been more
successful. Those who attended the
lcÖN6R£55lW B<RDC>OM%|
unveiling could have enjoyed it without
having to compete with the cafeteria chat
ter.
But what would have been better is if
the Meek ceremony had been held in the
Fireside Lounge. The curtain could have
been drawn for privacy, without discourag
ing those who might have wanted to listen
in.
Although, it would have meant the
statue would have had to be moved, it
would have made the event more suc
cessful and enjoyable to all.
‘things’
for no extra charge
Here’s an example of the
“things” I’m talking about. I
was at a place not too long ago,
forking through a mound of*
rice and uncovered a hunk of
knotted hair. I was not real
happy, and my date was sick to
her stomach and even less hap
py-
ed it before I drank out of the
cup.
I asked the waitress about
the “thing,” she said that it was
“just a piece of hamburger,
or...something.” “Oh,” I said,
rapping the cup on the table to
shake the “thing” loose, “Why
is it sticking so well then?”
I guess it would have
bothered more if I was the sen
sitive, poetic type. After all, a
mother mouse may have lost a
child.
At another restaurant, I
found out what a fish story is. I
am on a sand and grit-free diet,
so I had to complain when I got
a fish dinner with a side order.
Sand, that is, enough to make
a batch of concrete.
Worms or bugs I have
never found; however, I did'
find something sticking to the
side of a coffee cup that was
just as bad. Fortunately, I notic

A few people deserve recognition
To the Editor:
I would like to take this op
portunity to thank the student
body of Clackamas Communi
ty College for their participation
in activities related to the
special legislative session. I feel
that through the show of con
cern I have sieen during this
period of time, community col
lege students have really gotten
the point across to legislators!
There are some- specific
people who deserve a special
“thank you” for the hours, (and
sometimes days) of special ef
fort they have put forth to
make certain that community
colleges are not swept under
the carpet this time around.
Sam Crosby, your ASG Presi
dent, deserves special recogni
tion for his efforts in contacting
legislators personally, and for
his desire to keep you informed
about the decisions being made
in Salem that will affect you.
Two individuals, Karen Prouty
and Dick Edwards, also
page 2
deserve a pat on the back for
their efforts in lobbying in
dividual legislators, and for the
research time they donated
before the session even began.
All three of these individuals
have spent a great deal of time
in Salem, away from their
classes, so that your story
might be told to legislators who
don’t always want to listen.
They have been those few peo
ple one always looks for in an
organization who are willing to
put forth that “something
extra” which makes all the dif
ference in the world.
The last person deserving
special thanks is your Director
of Student Activities, Debbie
Baker. Acting as a professional
advisor to CCOSAC (an un
paid position, I might add),
Debbie has given of herself
unselfishly in order to make
CCOSAC work. The results of
her efforts are CCOSAC as
you see it today--a profes
sional, well-respected organiza-
tion that gives the community
college students in Oregon a
collective voice. She has pro
ven time and time again to be
one of our most valuable
assets, and she is a joy to work
with. Thanks, Debbie.
Because of the people
listed above, and because of
your individual efforts during
these trying times, I am proud
to, be associated with
CCOSAC, and you should be
proud or your school and the
many talented and concerned
people connected with it. I
hope that the student body at
Clackamas Community Col
lege will continue to be suppor
tive of CCOSAC and its efforts,
and I can assure you that com
munity college students will
never go, unnoticed again.
Sincerely,
Doug Moxley, CCOSAC
Executive Chairperson
Clackamas Community College
