Snow puts classes on ice
Clackamas Community
College was hit by a series of
snowstorms recently closing
the College two days and three
evenings. The first storm ar­
rived early Friday, Feb. 1, and
again on Tuesday, Feb. 5, for­
cing closure both days. The
Tuesday closure forced The
Print to abandon its plans for
publication for the week, as
the paper’s printing company
did not have any printing slots
available other than the
regular Wednesday morning
slot The Print usually oc­
cupies.
Thursday, Feb. 7, the Col­
lege was hit by a snowstorm
that began about 10 a.m. and
lasted most of the day, dropp­
ing large, wet flakes on
students and foliage. Weather
conditions relented, however,
in time for class on Friday,
Feb. 8.

College’s Board of Directors
and faculty members are
preparing to conduct negotia­
tions once more, this time over
a faculty contract for the
1985-86 school year.
The
administrative
negotiating committee,
representing the Board, and
the faculty negotiating com­
mittee are scheduled to meet
Feb. 27 to discuss each com­
mittee’s contract proposals.
Each side met on Jan. 30, at
which time the faculty com­
mittee submitted its proposal
to the administration.
Personnel Officer Jim
Painter, who is the chairper­
son of the administrative
negotiating committee, said
their proposal would be sub­
mitted at this meeting. Before
Wednesday, February 13, 1985
this takes place the ad­
ministrative committee will
meet with the Board Feb. 13 in
order to “get direction from
the Board (as to) what they
want us to accomplish in the
process of negotiation,”
Painter said.
Just last spring the College’s
Board and faculty approved a
two-year faculty contract,
which the College is currently
operating on. This contract,
which called for placing a two-
year freeze on faculty
wages with an increment dur­
ing the second year, will expire
June 30, 1985.
“Our team (faculty) started
meeting in November to
develop a proposal to present'
to the College Board of
Education,” Michael Durrer,
chairperson of drafting
technology and building con­
struction, said. Durrer is the
chairperson of the faculty
negotiating committee.
Durrer explained the pur­
pose of these meetings was to
receive input from faculty
members on what their con­
cerns were for the contract
proposal. Such meetings have
included getting together with
the faculty senate for idea in­
put.
While Durrer said he
couldn’t release much infor­
mation about the faculty’s
contract proposal in order to
prevent jeopardizing the
negotiation process, he did
mention the main articles of
the proposal that will be
discussed at the Feb. 27

meeting. The articles include

fessional improvement and
