War against rubella, birth
defects reaches Clackamas
By D. Dietrich
Of The Print
Free rubella immunization
and blood pressure checks will
be available to all students,
faculty and staff at Clackamas
Community College on
Wednesday, May 29, from
10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the
Community Center, Fireside
Lounge.
The service is being offered
through the nationwide 1985
Rubella Initiative to help com­
bat birth defects caused by the
disease. Sometimes called Ger­
man Measles or three-day
measles, rubella is a mild, con­
tagious disease wich in adults
can even go unnoticed but to
mothers infected while preg­
nant, can cause sever birth
defects or death.
Characterized by low fever,
a slight red rash and swelling
of the glands in the neck,
rubella is nationally targeted
every five to seven years, Erna
Lewis, a nurse practitioner at
the College said. “We en­
courage everyone on campus,
who hasn’t been immunized to
take advantage, primarily
women throughout the ages of
19 through 40,” Lewis said.
Once immunized, there isn’t
need to be vaccinated again.
For those unable to verify im­
munization, there is no danger
in a second vaccination, Lewis
said.
Students in the College Nur­
sing 202 class and other nurs­
ing students will facilitate the
program.
The only reasons not to be
vaccinated are: a laboratory-
confirmed history of the
disease, a rubella vaccination
documented by a physician,
pregnancy or the intent to
become pregnant within three
months.

Clackamas Community Col­
lege students will take part in
the graduation ceremony June
14. The event begins at 7 p.m.
in the Randall Hall gym­
nasium.
The graduation ceremony
will feature two student
speakers who are also
graduating.
A small number students
applied to be graduation
speakers this year, Debbie
Baker, director of student ac­
tivities, reported. “Only three
people applied,” Baker said,
adding “We have been doing
student speakers for a number
of years. This is the first year
that we didn’t have anyone
from student government or
forensics apply.”
The student speakers at
graduation will be Christopher
Wright and Gregorio
DeGrazia.
Wright plans to tell
about his experiences during
his two years at the College Lounge will be decorated with
