Women taught to No-nuke
be assertive, get rally due
what they want
Assertiveness classes spon
sored by the Women’s Center
are being held this term at
Clackamas Community Col
lege and the center, located on
Beavercreek Road.
The College class will take
place in Barlow Hall once a
week on Tuesdays from 7-9
p.m. and will be taught by
Carol Strazer and Nancy Fair
banks. This class began April
16 but there is still time to
register.
A second class is scheduled
for once a week on Thursdays
beginning April 18 from 1-3
p.m. at the center if there is
the demand for it. As of press
time, participants for the class
were few, raising the possibili
ty of cancellation. If the class
is held it will be taught by
Wendy Talbot.
Both classes will last six
weeks ancT cost $35. Par
ticipants will learn how to take
control of their lives, get what
they want, feel better about
themselves and reduce stress
and anxiety, according to a
related flier.
To register for either class,
contact the Women’s Center
at 656-2091.

A march for peace, jobs and
justice is scheduled to take
place in Seattle Saturday,
April 20, and Clackamas
Community College students
are asked to join in the
demonstration.
A coalition of more than 70
organizations, including labor
groups, church organizations,
task forces for’ nuclear disar
mament and other causes has
formed for the purpose of
gathering people together at a
regional rally in the business
section of Seattle, Nita Brueg-
geman, the coalition’s
chairperson said.
A poster soliciting student
participation has been approv
ed and posted in the Com
munity Center since thé end of
March.
Brueggeman is the manager
for The Amalgumated
Clothing and Textile Workers
Union office, and all calls for
Brueggeman go through her
office. No figures were
available on how many Col
lege students are interested in
the rally.
Once the event in Seattle is
over, the coalition will be
disbanded and no other pro
jects will be undertaken,
Brueggeman said.
Stopping U.S. military in
tervention in Central America,
creating jobs at home, cutting
the military budget, freezing
and reversing the arms race,
opposing government and
business support of South
Africa and overcoming racism
at home are the goals of the
coalition. When asked about
the impact of the one-time ral
ly, Brueggeman said it will
take years to achieve all the
goals the coalition has set.
The poster describes
Americans as losing their
rights if nothing is done to
curb the policies of the Reagan
Administration. It sites an in
crease in the U.S. Defense
Department’s budget (the
poster calls it a “war
budget”), a build-up in the
nuclear arsenal and the
government’s support of
“repressive” regimes as
reasons to unite and protest.
The Portland-based coali
tion is part of a nationwide ef
fort to ‘‘send a message” to
Washington D.C. by staging a
rally expected to have more
than 100,000 people attending.
The Gray Panthers, New
Jewish Agenda, National Gay
Task Force, People’s Anti-
War Mobilization and Jesse
Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition
are among the groups lending
support to the coalition.
Clackamas Community
College is a bit richer today
becaifee people have taken
time to be careful and have
watched their step.
The sum of $53,751 was
delivered to Carol Patterson,
the College’s safety committee
chairperson, last week because
the College has experienced a
drastic drop in the number of
on-the-job injuries.
The savings, available to the
College through Wausau In
surance Company’s retrospec
tive workers compensation
program, represents a 72 per
cent savings rebate of
premiums for the school.
Personnel Officer James
Painter said the number of
reported employee injuries on
campus had dropped con
sistently from a high of 47 in
1981 to 12 last year.
