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.”

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.
