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

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.

to be poured shortly. 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.
