New year, new law
current concerns for
campus community
By Doug Vaughan
Editor in Chief
Summer’s excitement is
done and the new school year
is here: To all students:
Welcome to Clackamas Com­
munity College—the 1983-84
edition.
The brightest spot for
new programs at the College
has evolved from last year’s
success of a day-long series of
seminars and workshops aim­
ed for the underemployed and
unemployed. A.k.a. “Take
Charge Day,” is once again
alive and well, and ready to be
presented Oct. 22.
The event was started last
year as an attempt to help the
local citizens and economy.
Some first-year flaws were
combed out and the new im­
proved brand is ready to hit
the market.
Last year only 550 of the
anticipated 800 residents ac­
tually showed, but for the first
year it was considered a suc­
cess. With the improving local
economy the response is hop­
ing to increase this year. There
is no cost for the day of events
and that in its own right makes
it a success.
To the dissatisfaction of
many, the College will be en­
forcing the newly effective
Oregon No-Smoke Laws.
Whether or not you are in agree­
ment with the new laws, it is
suggested that you obey them
for the health and wellness of
the rest of us. If you need to
smoke you are asked to do it in
the designated areas.
Another influence on our
education will be the tax levy
that the Board has purposed
and is hoping to pass. If pass­
ed, it will be the third con­
secutive three-year levy the
board has designed.
The Associated Student
Government is urging all
registered voters to support
the levy. To be honest, it will
affect a lot more than just our
classrooms. The date for the
vote is Nov. 8.
With a few “yes” votes
we just might we able to con­
tinue this wonderful education
we are in the middle of. My
wishes to everyone for a very
productive year.

Student Government
President reports to students
On behalf of Clackamas
Community College Asso­
ciated Student Government, I
would like to welcome all new
and returning students to the
school. We are very excited
about the good start. As usual,
Student Activities is full of fun
and activities. Everyone is in­
vited. to join in and share the
excitement.
The College Success
orientation which ran from
Sept. 20 through the 23rd was
very successful. About 350
potential full-time students
went through the one-credit
class. ASG was proud to be a
part of this and to sponsor the
hamburger feed with ad­
ministrators flipping. Also,
this year about 4,700 students
have registered to attend the
College which is a 10 percent
increase from last year.
Three very important up­
coming events this term are the
blood drive, Take Charge
Day and the College budget
election.
The blood drive is put
together by the Red Cross to
help people in the community
hospitals. This term our goal is
to collect 80 units of blood.
This is a very realistic goal that
can be achieved with the help
of as many donors as possible.
Take Charge Day is
another event that the college
puts on mainly for the
unemployed and under­
employed members of our
community. This is an all-day
event with several seminars
and workshops going on. Last
term we had over 100 faculty
and student volunteers to help
the 700 participants. There
will be a lot of publicity asking
for volunteers in the near
future. Again, I would strong­
ly encourage everyone to sup­
port the members of our com­
munity.
The most important up­
coming event, however, is on
Nov. 8—the College’s election.
Our tax levy for the next three
years will be on that ballot.
Naturally, a lot of effort is be­
ing put into this cause. Our
education, classroom comfort,
programs, activities and much
more are at stake. Students are
strongly urged to register and
make an extra effort to vote
on that day.
'Registration forms are
available at the Student Ac­
tivities counter for anyone, 18
years or older, who needs to
register. Also, anyone who has
changed addresses in the past
year must re-register.
I am personally available
to talk to you. I am
available in the Student Ac­
tivities Office at 11 a.m. on
Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, then at 11 a.m. on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. I
welcome, in fact, encourage
anyone to stop by and chat
with me about any of your
concerns. My officers are also
very available to students.
Once again, a very big
welcome to you all. I am
wishing you a wealth of sun­
shine and excitement.
Yours sincerely,
John Sagoe,
ASG President
