/ Clackamas Community College the Print Vol. XVIII, No. 6 Wednesday, November 7, 1984 Barlow Hall receives addition Completion date estimated for April By Shelley Ball Of The Print For those who may not have noticed it yet, Clackamas Community College’s Barlow Hall is in the process of having an addition built on to it. The addition is expected to cost $700,000 and will consist of classrooms, labs and facul ty offices, Don Fisher, direc tor of physical plant, said. Fisher explained the first floor of the addition will have three classrooms and two labs for thermal energy and hydraulics, while the second floor will have two nursing labs, three classrooms and faculty offices that were previously located in Clair mont Hall. Fisher has been working with the architects for the ad dition, and he will be involved in the inspection of the building as well. The contrac tor for the addition is Howard Brewton Contractor, Inc., who was also responsible for the construction of the Com munity Center. The idea to build an addi tion io Barlow Hall surfaced out of the storage problem created by the Smuckers Building fire of Aug. 30. At that time, the College’s Board had two options; to approve the rebuilding of the Smuckers Building or to construct the addition. Fisher explained building the addition would be more convenient. Students who at tend classes at Clairmont will be relocated in the new addi tion. Fisher said this will “put the students more on the main part of the campus.” Items that were stored in the Smuckers Building will con tinue to be stored in Clairmont Hall. “The Clairmont Hall was originally designed as a warehouse,” Fisher said. As for the reconstruction of the Smuckers Building, Fisher said it would cost more than the present $330,000 insurance settlement that has been of fered in order to put it up to current building codes. Fisher did say the Board has not rul ed out the possibility of replac ing Smuckers at a later date. In order to have the addi tion constructed as quickly as Hall as seen at night. The College’s community emergency conditions exist, possible, the College’s Board approved a resolution that due to the Smuckers fire, so allows for fast-tracking. they chose fast-tracking in Fisher explained fast tracking order to speed up the building allows the College to hire a process. Construction for the addi- contractor for a certain amount right away instead of putting out bids for the work. Fisher said this allows the con struction to get underway sooner, as much as two to three months sooner. The Col Volunteers ’ efforts weren’t lege’s Board had found in vain as election returns show that Measure 2 has been defeated at the polls. Monday, Nov. 5, it looked as though Measure 2 might pass, so opponents of the measure called an emergency canvassing meeting. At the meeting, which was held at 3:30 p.m; in the cafeteria of Boltin Elementary School, volunteer canvasssers were given bundles of a letter by Audrey McCall and a map of the areas the leaflets were to be distributed.

Fisher said the expected date of com pletion for the addition is the end of April. President Ronald Reagan has successfully won a second term by defeating Democratic presidential challenger Walter Mondale in what is being termed the biggest landslide victory in a presidential elec tion. Charles A. Clemans, Superintendent of Oregon Ci- ty Public Schools, not only volunteered his efforts to the canvassing campaign but also had two speaking engagements Monday night. “I wasn’t hired to hand out campaign literature, but I guess it comes with the territory.” Volunteers worked in pairs distributing leaflets to homes in the Oregon City, West Linn, Gladstone, and Milwaukie areas. Much of the response was positive except for one woman, who refused to give her name, who turned away a volunteer by shouting, “Get. the hell away from here! every damn day you leave something on my door.” She said that she hoped her dog would bite the volunteer. The letters written by Mc Call urges voters to take a good look at the disadvantages of Measure Zand vote no.
