Legal queries to be answered by Terri Grayum Staff Writer Your toilet is backing up and your landlord has promised three times to send a plumber to fix it. What are your rights? Or you’re unemployed and can’t pay your bills - can you declare bankruptcy? Or would you like to learn about a career in the legal field? If you have legal questions you’d like answered, you might want to report to the Communi ty Center, room 116 on May 1, between 9 am and 5 pm. Several local attorneys, in conjunction with the Clackamas County Bar Association, will be on hand to offer free consultations. The “no-bills” session is part of the law association’s observance of the 30th anniversary of Law Day on May 1. The service is available to the public at both the CCC location and at Clackamas Town Center in the mall, according to Andy Daniels, this year’s chairman of Law Day for the Clackamas County Bar. Law Day was established by President Eisenhower in 1958 to call attention to the principles of the American justice and legal systems, to the govern ment, and to community af fairs, and to celebrate the liber ties of the American people. In addition, this year the Bicenten nial of the Constitution will play a part in the commemora tion activities planned throughout the state. The theme of this year’s Law Day is “We, the People....” The Clackamas County and Oregon State Bar Associations, the Clackamas County Legal Secretaries Association, the Sheriff’s office and the courthouse all have pro grams planned for the day, in cluding tours of the courthouse and of the jail, essay and design contests for junior high students, and a proclamation by the mayor of Oregon City. The “no-bills” consultation sessions will each run about twen ty minutes and will be on a first- come, first-served basis, though there may be a sign-up sheet at the door. There will be two or three attorneys present at any given time. According to Daniels, no documents will be drawn up, but advice may be given on a par ticular document. You may be referred to a lawyer to further ex amine your problem. Some areas of question could be landlord/te- nant disputes, arrest rights, real estate and probate considera tions, or contract inquiries. Daniels said that there would also be many pamphlets available on a variety of subjects, including lawyer referral service and speaker’s bureau. If you want further infor mation about the activities, con tact Andy Daniels at 657-8144. If you would like to schedule a tour of the courthouse, contact Linda Garman of the Clackamas Coun ty Legal Secretaries Association at 682-3955. Jail tours are being arranged through Mr. Daniels and there may be a few openings left for those interested in viewing the quarters from the outside. Keyser elected to national board by Dean Grey at Mt. Hood from ’78-’82, Dean of Students, Western Wyoming from ’74-’77, and gained his Ph.D. at the University of Col orado in ’75. “As the world becomes smaller,” said Keyser, “so this country becomes smaller. I hope I can be part of making Oregon a leader in the country and in the world too. I consider it a real honor to be elected to the board and I am looking forward to ser ving and assisting wherever I can.”______________________ Editor “I thought it would be good exposure for Clackamas and a good growth experience for me.” The above quote from Dr. John Keyser, president of Clackamas Community College is in regard to a recent election which placed him on the American Association of Com munity and Junior College Board of Directors.

The sixteen musicians competed against bands from twelve other colleges in their division at the California contest. The two year college lab division em bodies community college bands that combine students and non-students in their groups. The Clackamas ensem ble has four non-student members. In addition to the group tak ing first place at the contest, trumpeters Jpn Stephens and Ron Green and sax player Mike Hettwer were given Outstanding Musician Awards for their solo work with the band. At the competition the group performed three pieces: “Put on a Happy Face,” “Teach Me Tonight,” and “A Good Time Was Had By All.” A good time was had by the ensemble, who flew to Califor nia on April 2 for some recrea- tion before the gruelling com petition. The group toured Disneyland and did some other sightseeing, as well as winning seven $30 jaywalking awards from a friendly Buena Park of ficer. Director Mitchell was one of the lucky recipients. The group’s trip was partially funded by the Student Activity fund; more than half of the tab was paid for through the fund raising activities throughout the year.
