Opinion save taxes, lose future Measure 9.» by Dean Grey Oregon voters in the last 70 years. Editor America has always been competitive with other coun tries. In the 60’s we raced to the moon, eary 70’s we competed with the disharmony and riots of other countries, and in the 80’s were up against the ruskies in an attempt to see who can destroy the earth a greater number of times. This attitude has spread down to the states; New York vs California for most undesir ables living within. Illinois, mainly Chicago’s running a close second; Texas is fighting neck-n-neck with itself to attain first place for largest ego, no other state comes close. This year Oregon, in an at tempt to out do all other states, has gone up against other coun tries instead of states. , What does this mean ladies and gentlemen? Ballot measure 9 that’s what. By this time you may wonder how I’m gonna tie this together- no problem. If ballot measure 9 passes it will, in effect cause irreversable damage to Oregons economy that can only be rectified It will also cut severly into vital services such as police, fire protection, libraries, water, and sewers. With this information I can foresee a downfall in education and law enforcement systems. Still what does this have to do with competition? With the severe cuts in Oregons services it will have a domino effect: Schools will close Police cut back Jobs lost Unemployment rises Kids and adults on streets Desperate measures for survival through strict Government con trol, in other words basic com munism. run. Next question obviously, How? By passing measure 9 the This may seem far fetched, businesses and landlords get but it will happen in the long most of the Tax relief, thus the Writers wanted: students and staff Presidents Cor ner... Patty Groombridge Student Body President Welcome to Clackamas! Exciting and important things are happening this fall! This November we have some important measures on the ballot that will affect all of us here at Clackamas. I and my fellow student body government members have gone on record opposing ballot measures 9, 11, and 12 because of the negative impact they will have on the community college system in the state of Oregon. If you are not registered to vote please come by the student activities office and pick up a voter registration form. The form can be mailed in up to Oc tober 23. After the 23rd you can take the form to the county elec tions office with proof of residency and register to vote. I cannot urge you strongly enough to vote on November 4. My office door is open if you have any complaints or con cerns that you feel ASG should be dealing with. All students are invited to attend our regular Thursday 12:00 work meetings in CC101. College a far cry from high school by Heleen Veenstra Contributing Writer Can’t find the classes? Don’t remember where the car is park ed? Feeling uncomfortable in class because nobody is talking? Get bored easily? Can’t handle all the homework? These are the characteristics of the new ones in school, the freshmen. For many freshmen it is hard to be the youngest in school again. After all the upper classman years in high school it is degrading to be a freshman again. Freshmen can be recognized by the huge amount of books they are carrying around all day, especially the first day of school. They all bought their books the first day of school and if not, they bought them already a week before, during registration week. Frosh are also the so-called “loners.” In their lunch hour, when their friends have class, they hang out, alone, in the Com munity Center, or if it is nice weather they sit outside. There . they try to do some homework, j take a nap or get to know rffd're- f people. | Finding classes also always seems to be a problem. But that’s Page 2 rich get richer. . And Oregon schools will be less stable under measure 9. It will, in fact, eliminate all school district tax bases approved by Crime rate soars Welfare collapses Basic pandemonium Government intervention Strict regulation Total control. So what we have is Oregon being number one in hightest umemployment, crime rate, il literacy and the firt commumist state. not only for freshmen. The first day most people can’t find their classrooms. Barlow and McLoughlin Hall are the worst ones. Finding your class there is almost as hard as finding a needle in a haystack. The order of classroom numbers simply doesn’t make any sense at all, so it is hard to find them. The tons of homework is also something you have to get used to. Hoipework in college is a lot more demanding than in high school (This means, now we really work) In class, nobody is talking. At first, this is kind of weird too, because in high school you just talked all the time. If the teacher had something to say, he would let you know so you could pay at tention for the few minutes he had to say something you would need to know. Here the teachers don’t tell you if they are saying something important. You just have to listen to them all the time. So. no time for talking. Being new here in school is really different, but also lots of fun. To all the freshmen in school: “Have a really great time!” Attention: Aspiring Journalists “The Print' is looking for A few good writers, Experience ¡preferred. If you’re interested Call ext. 309, ask for Dean or come to Trailer B by Linda Vogt Advisor, The Print The Print staff would like to offer up this space, each week, as a spot for a ‘quest column’ by faculty members, staff or ad ministrators who would like to share some thoughts or ideas. Being new here at Clackamas, as journalism instructor and ad visor to student publications, I have been continually impressed by the high caliber of profes sionals who have chosen to dedicate their careers to this school. Many, many have been here 10, 15 or 20 years... a fact which most definitely says something about the rewards of working here. Having worked here only three weeks myself, I am certainly among the newest to enjoy the CCC experience. As I work with The Print staff to help them redesign the look of their paper and make it one that is of interest to students and all the members of our educational community, I invite input from readers. This input may be in the form of com ments, criticism, praise (highly unusual for newspaper people to hear, but it happens) or just per sonal opinions or discussions of current issues. It is our goal here at The Print to involve more writers from throughout the cam pus community... and it is my goal as advisor that some of those writers be from among the facul ty and staff. So...have something to say? Feel particularly good about one class? Learned something lately that might be of help or interest to the rest of us? Just feel the need to get something off your ‘proverbial* chest? Write it down, double-spaced, and bring it to Trailer B.
