College plans bevy of cable productions
By J. Dana Haynes
Of The Print
This summer, Clackamas
Community College will run a
series of programs on Liberty
Cable’s channel 9 and
Cablesystems Pacific’s channel
33, Television Production
Supervisor Carlos Ricketson
announced.
The scheduled shows in­
clude several telecourses, a
series of films on World War II,
College
graduation
ceremonies, a Timber festival,
local awards banquet and a
pilot for a news program pro­
duced by College students.
The video projects depart­
ment also hopes to present a
live country music jam on June
3. Ricketson said the produc­
tion hinges on whether or not
the College can use Liberty
Cable’s mobile unit, a van from
which television production
can be directed.
“If we can get the mobile
unit we will be fine,” Ricketson
said. “We would also like to do
the (Associated Student
Government’s
annual)
Timberfest, but that too
depends on getting the van.”
Ricketson said he expects
to know later this week
whether the mobile unit will be
available for those productions.
Social Sciences Chairper­
son Fred DeWolfe will present
a telecourse on films of World
War II, which will also be aired
on the cable channels.
Each movie will run twice,
on Tuesdays and Thursdays at
9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and
may be viewed at home, or in
the McLoughlin Hall audio
/video department with an ap­
pointment.
The films include:
June 21, 23: “December
7.”
Veterans’ slide show
planned for Thursday
A slide tape program en­
titled “From Vietnam to
Washington, D.C. and
Beyond” will be shown on
Thursday, May 26, in the
Community Center’s Fireside
Lounge. The program will be
shown at noon and again at 1
p.m.
Carlos Ricketson, televi­
sion production supervisor for
the College, is a Vietnam
veteran who served in the
Navy. Ricketson produced the
program which “is from our
point of view as Vietnam vets,”
he said.
The presentation is
dedicated to the Vietnam
Veteran’s Memorial, which was
erected in Washington, D.C.
earlier this year. The program
also presents the need for an
Oregon memorial, Ricketson
said.
This show is presented in
conjunction with the Vietnam
Veteran’s of Oregon Memorial
Page 4
Fund organization. All work on
the production was done by
vets, Ricketson said. It included
photographs taken overseas, in
Oregon and in the nation’s
capitol.
The program will be
shown twice, and a question
and answer session will be in­
cluded. Members of the
Oregon memorial fund
organization will field ques­
tions, Ricketson said.
June 28, 30: “Tarawa.”
July 5, 7: “Stilwell Road.”
July 12, 14: “Report from
the Aleutians.”
July 19, 21: “Battle for
San Pietro.”
July 26, 28: “True Glory.”
August 9, 11: “Memphis
Belle.”
The following movies will
also be presented exclusively
on campus, in McLoughlin 112
on Mondays and Wednesdays
at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on the
dates indicated.
June 27, 29: “Hiroshima-
Nagasaki.”
July 4, 6: “Night and
Fog.”
July 11, 13: “Bridge on
the River Kwai.”
July 18, 20: “Home
Front-We are On Our Own.”
July 25, 27: “The Bulge.”
August 1, 3: “Cronkite
Reports: Paris, Arnheim,
Remagen, Patton.”
August 8, 10: “Cronkite
Reports: Pearl Harbor,
Singapore, The Phillipines,
and the Doolittle Raid.”
DeWolfe
and
his
associate, Anthropology In­
structor Richard Ramsperger,
present a series of films every
term at the College.
DeWolfe is excited about
the summer series he said. This
will be the first time he has
presented the films over cable
TV.
“I managed to get some of
these films directly from a
wholesaler in Chicago, so (the
College) saved money on it,”
De Wolfe said.
Ricketson produced the
film series, which he said were
shot and edited in the
McLoughlin Hall studio. Each
film is preceded by a ten
minute lecture by DeWolfe.
The closest project for the
A/V department is the country
music concert, which is
scheduled for June 3. The jam
will feature approximately 40
members of Bob Misley’s
Country and Bluegrass classes.
Productions such as this
are not an original concept, but
it will be the first time a live
musical show has been aired
from the College and possibly
the first live cable telecast done
by an Oregon community col­
lege, Steve Johnson, College
video technician, said.
The concert will be held
from 7:30-9:30 p.m. in the
Community Center Mall.
Ricketson said taping and air­
ing the show is “still up in the
air,” but he is hoping for the
chance to present the artistic
side of the College to the com­
munity.
Handicapped vets get representative
Dale Beaty, a represen­
tative from the Oregon
Employment Division, will be
on campus weekly for the rest
of the year.
Beaty works with the
Disabled Veterans Outreach
Program. He will be available
in the Career Development
and Job Placement Center, in
the Community Center, on
Wednesdays from 8-10 a.m.
“Beaty is a staff person of
the Oregon Employment Divi­
sion, not an employee of the
College,” Marv Thornley,
career development and place­
ment officer, said. “He will act
as an advocate for disabled
vets.”
No appointment is
necessary for people wishing to
see Beaty, although Thornley
pointed out that the Center is
run on a first-come, first-served
basis.
If a person cannot see
Beaty on Wednesday morn­
ings, he is also available at the
Oregon Employment Division
office, at Fifth and High in
Oregon City during regular
business hours.

Donin said 12 of the volunteers

The reasons for deferring
24 of the volunteers were not
given. People may not give
blood if they are under medica­
tion, have been ill recently, or
have suffered at any time from
certain illnesses.
Earlier, Donin said Red
Cross was concerned about a
drop in volunteerism. One
reason given for this was fear
that a donor can contact AIDS
(Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome). Donin pointed out
that no one can contract AIDS
by giving blood, although
evidence suggests some people
have acquired the illness from
receiving blood.
