Jarmer admitted to a pro­

going to put them over budget.
A quick change brought down
the cost of the cover without
sacrificing much style.

The small room is filled with
magazines and pamphlets.
Past literary magazines are
hung on the wall. Pens, pen­
cils, rulers, gluing devices and
an assortment of “tools of the
trade” are now back in their
places. “Rhapsody” magazir

magazine for Clackamas
Community College is produc­
ed by Michael Jarmer, editor,
and
Doug
Davault,
photography editor.
Included in the magazine
are poems, artistic essays and
artwork. “It’s a showcase and
forum for all the people of the
College,” Jarmer said. “I
hope it gives people a better
idea of all the creativity that
goes on around campus,” he
added.
Everything in the magazine
is work by the students of the
College, with the exception of1
three people. “One man sends
us his work often and he’s
from Maine,” Jarmer said.

One-acts to carry marriage theme
Now in rehearsal are the two
one-act plays chosen for the
Projects in Theater class. Both
plays involve marriage, but in
different views. In “Stray
Cats” a newlywed couple face

roommate. The play “At
Home” centers on the pro­
blems- of a couple that has
been married for six years.

The magazine’s name has
also been changed. Before

“I’m real happy about it,”
Jarmer said. The only real
change he foresees for next
issue is “We’ll just be a lot
more organized this time
around.” Davault said he
believed this issue would be
“much more visually appeal­
ing” than previous issues.
Jarmer said he received
enough submissions from peo­
ple that filling the 21 pages
was not a problem, although
he added there was not an over
abundance. “I used everything
that I got that was good,” he
said. He commented that for
the next issue he could use
more artwork, such as photos
and drawings. He said a plan­
ned investigation of possible
artists in the Art Center might
remedy the situation.
Jarmer and Davault are ac­
cepting work every day from
both students and the general
public. “It (Rhapsody) gives
students a chance to express
their creative energies,”
Jarmer said.

“It will be an overview of
window display techniques.
We will look at the ideas and
■thoughts that go into window
displays and
in-store
displays,” Tollen said.
Tollen explained there are
four main areas that must be
considered when setting up a
display: the size of area
(visibility); theme, composi­
tion and height; texture; and
color and how it appeals to the
eye. “You have to know what
looks nice. That is developed
with a lot of practice,” Tollen
said.
The class will observe
displays in small stores and
large department stores,
noting the difference in
budgets and staff.
Tollen said the class will not be
able to get as in-depth as she : :
would like because of the time
limit, but she hopes to con­
tinue the class next term or
next year.
The cost for the class is $25,
which is waived for full-time
students at the College.
Registration for the class is
handled through the Counsel­
ing Department.
