The dessert was sponsored by the college and the Clackamas Community College Foundation. College President John Keyser acknowledged the success of the students by realting their suc cesses to a story he told. As told by Keyser, Lucy, from the“Peanuts” comic strip, was in a booth charging 10 cents for ad vice. She said “Charlie Brown, life is like a cruise ship. Some people set up their deck chairs in the front of the ship so they can see where they are going, while others set up their chairs in the back so they can see where they came from. In the cruise ship of life, which way does your chair face?” Charlie Brown answe/ed: “I can’t even get mine unfolded!” Keyser made the point that the recipients had unfolded their chairs and were looking forward. He told them, “You have to fulfill the opportunity that is put in front of you.” Keyser associated student sue? cess to two ingredients: commit ment and opportunity. Commit ment involves the students preparing for a career with the opportunity supplied through the community college through faculty and advisors. The recipients’ scholarships were based on many factors, such as leadership, grades, community involvement, and the Regional Skills Contest. The scholarships were provid ed by private donors and the CCC foundation through local high school selection committees. Scholarships ranged from one term to a full year, and were Photo by Julio Church CCC President John Keyser (left), and KATU’s Town Hall host Jack Faust (right), talked after the scholarship dessert held on Thursday evening. given to first year students. Each year, an Outstanding Sophomore Scholarship is given to a returning sophomore who has been recognized for academics, leadership and college and community service. This year’s recipient is Deborah White. White, 35, is a single mother of two. She moved from Eastern Montana, where she was an aim wrestling champion, and she presently lives in Milwaukie. She worked as a radio D.J. from 1985-87 and is presently attending CCC so she can continue toward a four-year degree and become a political lobbyist. “It’s been difficult, but it’s been worth it,” said White. The guest speaker for the even ing was Jack Faust, host of KATU’s Town Hall program, and senior partner to Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt law firm. Faust talked about his ex perience with television. Seven years ago he was asked to host Town Hall, which he thought was going to be a one-time thing for him. He’s still doing it. Faust said many people don’t like to admit they watch T.V. You ask them why they are drinking Bud Light - and they say it’s great tasting, less filling! Faust also said that too many people model their lives like soap Condoms on campus discussed by Sherri Michaels News Editor Many colleges in the state of Oregon dispense condoms without a policy on condoms. Clackamas Community Col lege is in the process of drafting a communicable disease prevention plan that would address the issue of distributing condoms on cam pus. Debbie Baker, Student Ac tivities Director, is working on the plan. According to Baker some of the key issues will be where, when, and how the con doms will be distributed, what to do with proceeds if and when there are any from the sales and whether the condoms are of good quality. For the college this has been a major step since the issue has been in the works for about a year according to one source. The college recognizes that there needs to be something done to help prevent the spread of sexual diseases and AIDS and that con doms are in fact a way in which that can be done. Jim Roberts, Dean of Students, commented that this is a reasonable kind of thing to do. “We have to have some type of rationale as to what we are going to do,” said Roberts. Suzy Alexander, student health secretary, said, “We have had some requests, and with the cur rent AIDS scare I think that everyone should protect themselves. It is not worth the risks.” To receive information and condoms from the State Health Division “we have had to solicítate for everything,” said Alexander. Another possible way for the college to provide con- doms/condom machines is through a proposal from Cascade Aids Project to install the machines for a proportion of the revenue generated from the sales to go back to CAP for AIDS related projects. “At Linn-Benton (Communi ty College),” according to Pete Boyse, Assistant to the Presi dent at Linn-Benton, “we don’t have a condom policy and we are not likely to adopt a policy.” Linn-Benton, at this point, does not provide con doms, but they are looking into that possiblity. Mt. Hood Community Col lege also does not yet provide condoms, but does give counsel ing in birth control commented Adrienne Anderson of the Mt. Hood CC Health Services. They also have no selective condom policy. Though neither Mt. Hood nor Linn-Benton provide con doms to students, Lane Comm- munity College out of Eugene does, according to John Gutier- rec of student health services. They sell them through the stu dent health center. “The larger state schools generally have the same policy,” said Dr. Donald Boots» Director of Oregon State University Health Center. There is no real condom policy at OSU, though that does fall under the care and supervision of the resident gynecologist. They have been dispensing con doms for many years through the health center and now are installing condom vending machines in health center restrooms and are hopefully in stalling them in the restrooms at the Memorial Union and in residence halls. According to Dr. Boot they also have the sup port of Dr. Trow, Vice- President of Student Services. As soon as the proposed policy is written it will be sent to President’s Council where it will be discussed and voted on in the near future. operas. They think they can solve their real life problems like the characters on T.V. do. Faust pointed out that many people don’t see that they are in fluenced by T.V. They don’t think it does anything to them. “It is a powerful influence on individuals,” said Faust. Clackamas Levy failing by E.A. Berg Staff Writer The College’s levy re quest was failing 22,230 to 18,545, with approximately 7,000 ballots left to be counted, as of 9:30 p.m. last night. According to College President John Keyser, the College Board will hold a work session before tonight’s regular scheduled board meeting to discuss the vote. The college was seeking a two year operating levy of $1.37 per $1000 of assesed value, an increase of 12 cents ove the current rate. Yesterday’s mail-in ballot election follows months of intense organizing by campus labor unions, Associated Student Government, and the Clackamas Foundation to pass the levy. Supporters of the levy stressed that community col leges are not covered by the “safety net” and that the college’s tax rate has not in creased in six years. No organized opposition to the levy was visible in the district.
