MADD creates library display
CCC has DUII resource center
by Keith Casper
Staff Writer
In association with MADD
(Mothers Against Drunk Driv
ing), Clackamas Community
College has started a DUII
(Driving Under Influence of In
toxicants) resource center. The
center is designed to inform the
public about the severe hazards
of driving drunk and to per
suade people to make more sen
sible decisions about alcohol.
Displaying a vast array of
posters, pamphlets, and
periodicals, the center presents,
a valuable and interesting look
at a very serious issue. The
theme of the center is “drunk
drivers destroy dreams.” The
posters that are up, for the most
part, deal directly with the sub
ject. There is a collection of 250
student-designed posters which
the center displays. By changing
the posters every two weeks, the
center is always kept current
and new.
“It’s an excellent public
awareness tool,” explains San
dy Gilman, vice-president of
MADD. She is very excited with
the center and the college’s
cooperation. “It will hopefully
help stop people from driving
drunk and save lives,” adds
Gilman.
“An important fact is that
not just drunk drivers get hurt,
while they are driving
drunk...sober motorists get kill
ed or injured by drunk drivers.”
Last year there were an
estimated 265 alcohol related
deaths in Oregon “and these
statistics are going easy,” said
Gilman. The current death
statistics only include drivers
who were drunk when their ac
cidents occurred.
With the center in operation,
there is a hope that more people
will educate themselves about a
serious problem and that more
people will take a stand against
drunk drivers. “The only way
to stop drunk driving is if
everyone gets mad at drunk
drivers,” says Gilman.
The center is located in
McLoughlin Hall in front of the
Audio Visual center by the
library.
Mega-Pak turns into success story
Struggling would be putting it
mildly. That’s how Mega-Pak
Manager Russ Shroyer described
his business during the summer
of 1986.
The Gresham smokehouse
building company, which had
opened its doors in February, was
about to close those same doors
in August.
“We had no direction, no
sense of leadership,” Shroyer
said.
That’s when Mega-Pak turned
to the Business Center of
Clackamas County, Clackamas
Community College’s off-
campus resource for small
businesses. The firm enrolled in
the center’s Greenhouse pro
gram, an intensive training cur
riculum designed specifically for
start-up businesses, and within
six months, was being touted as
one of the center’s best success
stories, with international con
tracts and gross sales in excess of
$370,000.
Mega-Pak joined the j other
clients of the Business Center at
an open house Friday, March 6,
at the downtown Oregon City of
fice, 108 8th St. Displays, tours,
information, entertainment and
refreshments were «part of the
4-7 p.m. celebration.
The Business Center is a
member of the Small Business
Development Center Network of
Oregon^ Its purpose is to increase
business success through respon
sive education.

Going to McDonald’s* is almost as
much a part of school as going to class.
You’ve made us the place to meet, to
talk, to have a good time, to celebrate
your victories and help forget defeats.
You’ve made McDonald’s more than
just another place to eat. And that’s why,
at McDonald’s,
we say...
When you open the door
to the unknown,
there’s no telling
whowilldropin...
or who will drop dead.
IT'S A GOOD TIME
FOR THE GREAT TASTE.
