Martin Luther King Jr. Andre to study Celtic myths to be honored hy Tom Golden Staff Writer Sherri Michaels Co-News Editor The college has decided to honor Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday by on campus activities that are to be sponsored by the student government. This decision was brought about by several students’ com plaints that there was no celebra tion by the college, but yet it was Considered a federal holiday. According to Student Ac tivities Director Debbie Baker, one student is writing a petition to call for the recognition of King’s birthday, though she believes that he is overstating his point in his petition. Baker commented, “his desire to pay attention to the Martin Luther King Jr.’s holiday is a valid point.” According to one student, many teachers were unaware that the Monday holiday even existed. Baker is currently collecting materials for ideas to use as a resource for next year’s student government, so that they may be able to form and celebrate King’s birthday. “I appreciate those who see a need and take up the cause,” said Baker in reference to the petition.

An nette Andre, an English and Shakespeare instructor, will be living that dream when she takes a spring term sabbatical to the University of Wales at Swansea to study Celtic mythology. Andre is taking the trip, “to stimulate me mentally.” Andre, who has been instructing at CCC since 1969, is taking advantage of the college’s sabbatical plan in order to make the trip. The sab batical allows instructors leave for “professional development,” every seven years with full or partial pay. Independant study on Celtic mythology is the focus of the trip. Andre plans to visit Scotish and Irish burial mounds which are a part of the Druid religion. She also would like to see the Dublin Museum which contains Celtic artifacts. While Andre’s original intent was to possibly offer a class on mythology the possible conversion to a semester system has her intending instead to in tegrate what she has learned into English Lit classes. “That kind of lyrical mystical quality of the Welsh has been a fascination for me,” said Andre. Community informaiton forums on the March levy election have been scheduled at eight locations throughout the district.

She toured Europe in 1966 and she also studied in the Oxford Berkley program in 1975, visiting Wales at that time. She still considers the trip, “scary but exciting. “The only problem I’ll have is die exchange rate. It’s not as good now as when I was there before. I don’t have to drive; that would be a problem if I had to drive because the drivers are...um...how can I put this right?...I don’t want to wear out my welcome before I get there...they drive a whole lot faster than I do, let’s just say that I like riding the trains, drinking Heinekens and eating cheese sandwiches.” Though Andre is trying to make no plans which may conflict with her studies, she still hopes to, “go to Stratford on the Avon to see a play.” What is Andre leaving behind? “I have no pets, no children, no husband, just a boyfriend. I’ll miss my Shakespeare class. I love Shakespeare and I get wonderful classes in there. Bob (Dr. Robert Krieger) will do a fine job.

There has been some uncertainly as to whether or not this will spill over to the college level. “We don’t in tend to do anything different,” assured Keyser (meaning that the college administration had no in tentions of censoring “The Print”). Keyser stated that, “I believe if this is going to be a healthy stu dent press, it has to be a free stu dent press.” Keyser also added, “I think it’s been an excellent year for the stu dent press here at Clackamas.” r Photo by Bath Coffev John Keyser spoke to stu dent journalists. Major changes in Assistant Dean of Instruction’s job Sherri Michaels Co-News Editor The new school year has brought many changes for Mar- da Coker, one of which is the new position of Assistant Dean of Instruction. Her new responsibilities in clude working with her former staff at EMD, the Business Center of Clackamas County, and the Community Education Services. Other duties include staff evaluations and planning for instructional guidelines. According to Coker, some of the changes and differences that she has noticed about the new job are supervising three departments, the need to view things differently by looking at the bigger structure, the need to be more knowledgeable for per sonal contracts and evaluations, and the need to learn more about the institution as a whole. Coker commented, “the staff likes to have good and accurate feedback and wants evaluations to be honest and complete.” This ties directly into her job of being a communication link in the large system of programs. Through the evaluations and meetings that Coker will be attending in her new position she will be in touch with President Keyser in Presi dent Council meetings, Dean of Instructional Services, Lyle Reese, through meetings and her own department in bi-weekly meetings. Coker is likely to move one more time before she is complete ly settled into the Assistant Dean’s job and that is to Har mony School, which the Board of Directors approved of buying, Feb. 10. The move is to be finish- t ed by September of this year. Page 3
