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.”______________________

“I thought it would be good
exposure for Clackamas and a
good growth experience for me.”

Keyser began his campaign in
December and received official

Keyser.

California jazz brings top honors
by Terri Grayum
Staff Writer
The Clackamas Community
College Jazz Ensemble, under
the direction of instructor Dave
Mitchell, ran off with top
honors at the Fullerton College
Jazz Festival on April 4. 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.
Musicians: Front row; Bob Bagley, Mike Hettwer, Chrys Davis, Jonathan Ledbetter. Second row;
Brian Casey, Jon Stephens, Ron Green, Mike Randall, John Matson and instructor, Daye Mit
chell.
