Reese replaces Kaiser as dean of instruction By Charlene Jensen Of The Print Due to the upcoming retirement of Dean of Instruc tion Dr. Ronald Kaiser, the position for the 1983-84 school year is filled by Lyle Reese, who is also the assistant dean of instruction in the division of business and related areas. Dr. Kaiser will be retiring in December. Until then he is uàing up his vacation time and preparing for his retirement. Reese is holding two posi tions this year. Reese’s main goal is to see that the job of dean of instruc tion is still performed as it was under Kaiser. “I think holding down both of these positions is a great opportunity and a real challenge for me,” he said. Reese grew up in North Dakota. After serving in the United States Navy he went on to college and majored in business and English. He began teaching at Clacka mas Community College in 1967 on a part-time basis while he was employed full time at Oregon City High School. After two years working for the high school, Reese was hired as a full-time business in structor at the College. After one year he was promoted to director of business and has been involved in administra tion since. Although Reese is the assistant dean of instruction in the division of business and related areas, and is the acting dean of instruction, he said “I’m not considering this posi tion of dean of instruction as permanent.” “At the end of this year I will go back to being the assis tant dean of instruction. In Ju ly the president will make a determination as to whether he wants to have a reorganization of management. Choosing the individual to be the dean of in struction is purely his de cision,” Reese said. As acting dean of in struction, Reese has the job of interpreting rules and policies. He also is a communication link between the president and faculty, and from other ad ministrators to the faculty. “Establishing the policy is a greater effort than dealing with problems, because here at the College we just don’t have that many problems,” Reese said. Reese has a very strong opinion concerning the Col lege. “I think this is a marvelous school. We have a great teaching staff, the students are great and the public is looking at the College as a quality school. We’ve developed a history and credibility over the years,” he said. The 1983-84 school year will see Reese establishing pro cedures and administrative policies. Also, Reese is very active with golf, bowling and running. Having once coached for the Oregon City High School baseball team, he en joys watching high school sports. Reese considers his two jobs to be “a great op portunity and a real challenge for me.” Photo by Russ McMillen Career Market/workshops highlight program (continued from page one) One of the new editions to the Career Hunt workshops, is International Trade: Oregon and the Pacific Rim, which Director of Counseling Art Hames said would “look at world-wide trade.” Hames, who has helped coordinate the Career Hunt workshops, explained the focus of the workshop by say ing many local firms, through diversity, can sell more. “(You can) double sales overseas.

On Tuesday, Oct. 18, “If You Love This Planet,” a film with anti-nuclear war activist Dr. Helen Caldicott, was shown in the McLoughlin Theatre. The film was produced by the Canadian Film Board. It was at first branded as “pro paganda from a foreign gov ernment” by the Reagan Ad ministration. The film is based on Dr. Helen Caldicott, who started The Physicians for Social Responsibility, which provides education about the medical effects that a nuclear war would have on a society. The film showed Caldicott giving speeches and being with her family. It also portrayed her undying devotion to her work. It is said that this descrip tion increased the viewers in terest in the film and caused popularity, which led it to be the winner of the Academy Caldicott believes that nuclear wars must be prevented, since there is no medicinal help for the victims of such a war. She favors ac tivism and is also in favor of a freeze on the development of new, even more dangerous weapons. These beliefs are clearly expressed in the film. Marlene Tufts of the psychology department first brought the film to the atten tion of Clackamas Communi ty College students. She had been attending a ser- of nuclear seminars pn^i to teaching a class on the psychological effects of nuclear warfare. A few of the students had heard of “If You Love This Planet” and made a request for it to be shown on campus. Clackamas Community College
