Annual ski ball Clackamas joins colleges in event By Doug Vaughan Of The Print All Clackamas Communi ty College students, faculty and, employees are welcomed to the annual ski ball at Multipor Ski Bowl Monday Feb. 14 from 3-10 p.m.. The day is in conjunc tion with three other local com munity colleges. The event will cost participants $4. Mt. Hood, Portland and Chemeketa com munity colleges will join the College in renting the facilities for the day. “It was a great activity last year. The weather was excep tional and the whole evening went great,” Kelly Sullivan, ac tivity director, said. “Everyone that came back from it said they had a good time.” All people wanting to go will have to purchase tickets before the Thursday, Feb. 10 evening deadline. The ticket enables a person to be admit ted and will serve as a lift ticket for the day. Tickets can be pur chased from Sullivan in the Community Center during the day or at the Students Activities window. All sales are cash, and no one will be admitted to the event without an advance ticket. Skiing will not be the only event happening, either. For people over 21 there will be live music, and for those under 21 there will be a disc-jockey playing records. Both will start around 6 p.m.. Inter-college competitions are also planned for the event. Ski races, snow sculpture, keg toss, mug race and tug-of-war contests will be held throughout the day. Last year most of the contests were dominated by the College, it. Sullivan said. Even if one is not an avid skier, Sullivan feels that they should participate in the ski ball. “I encourage anyone who doesn’t ski or doesn’t want to ski (to come). They won’t feel out of place. There are a lot of people that come just for the fun and social side of it,” Sullivan said. He also added that Multipor was running a $5.50 ski rental package, and ski lessons at $2 an hour. Cross country skiing will also be available for those who desire “A lot of people go up that have never skied before,” Sullivan said. “There is no presure, it is real low-keyed.” Last year the event drew around 500 people, approx imately half of which were from the College, and Sullivan is hoping for more this year. The College is considering running a bus up to Multipor if enough interest is shown. “It is just an idea to get students from the local com munity colleges together for a fun type of activity,” Sullivan said. Recovered stolen stereo baffles local law officials A theft was committed at Clackamas Community Col lege last month. The Douglas County Sheriff’s office has a suspect in custody and the stolen merchandise has been recovered. The only problem is fin ding the victim. “The problem is, neither the office of Public Safety nor the Oregon City Police Depart ment have a reported incident of theft of stereo equipment,” Stan Johnson, chief of Public Safety for the College, said. According to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the man in custody claims to have stolen the stereo and related equipment from a campus parking Jot in early January, 1983. The Sheriff’s department has the equipment in their evidence locker, awaiting its proper owner. The make and model of the equipment is being withheld. Persons with infor mation on the owner of the equipment, or persons wishing to regain their stereo, should contact Public Safety.

Photo by Dave Buckley Randall Hall bomb threat proved prank By Steve Lundgren Of The Print A bomb threat note was found Wednesday afternoon in a restroom by two drama students. The bomb threat was discovered between 3:05 and 3:15 p.m. and said that a bomb was set to explode at 3:20 p.m. in the gymnasium in Randall Hall. The students, Robert Ems and Don Williams, found a note hand-printed on a paper towel and laying in the sink of the first floor McLoughlin Hall men’s restroom located behind the theater lobby. They im mediately took the note to Jack Shields, theater director, who reported it to the College switch board. Randall Hall was then evacuated at 3:15 p.m. and the Oregon City Police were contacted, according to Wednesday February 9, 1983 the Public Safety Office. Officials waited about twenty minutes after the alleg ed bomb was to explode before re-entering the building to search for it. No device was found in the building, accor ding to Public Safety. People were allowed to go back into the building at 3:50 p.m. Shields, who reported the threat, summarized the note as saying that those who had “picked on” the author would pay, and that a bomb was set to explode in the gym at 3:20 p.m. Because the Oregon City Police took custody of the note, the exact wording was unavailable. The police declin ed to comment on the incident. Public Safety Chief Stan Johnson said that this threat is the first at the College in about two and a half years.

As a combination job registry/referral agency for senior citizens, the center seeks to match seniors with full or part-time jobs. So far, they have had enormous success both in recruiting job-seekers and finding work to give them. But recently, job offers have been coming in and fin ding no takers. Largely of a domestic nature, many of the jobs offer room, board and a salary for a variety of tasks, from house or grounds keeping to companionship for an elder ly relative. “We keep hearing about people unable to find work and losing their homes,” Jean Sullivan, coordinator of the center said. “Now we can’t find enough people to fill the jobs.” For more information, contact the Public Information Office at 657-8400, ext. 440.
