FEATURE
Note takers provide
valuable service
by Caree Hussey
Feature/Managing Editor
They are ordinary students,
but they are providing an invalu
able service.
Finding note takers is just one
of the services the college pro
vides for students with disabili
ties. Other services include pro
viding tape recorders, taping chap
ters from the book, providing
mobility assistance, and sign lan
guage interpreters.
“We try to find someone in
the class who’s doing well and is
willing to share notes,” explained
Pat Fontaine, veterans’ specialist/
handicapped assistant.
Note takers can be either vol
unteers or they can be paid, de
pending on the situation. To be a
note taker you must write legibly
and take good, easy to read notes.
“The two people working
together must be comfortable with
the notes,” explained Fontaine.
The student who the notes
are being taken for is still respon
sible for attending class.
This term there are ten stu
dents who are utilizing some form
of note taking or taping. This may
not sound like a lot but according
to Fontaine it “takes a lot of time
to coordinate schedules.”
The college has been provid
ingnote takers since 1979, but the
need for the note taking services
has “increased dramatically over
the last couple of years,” said
Fontaine.
These services are offered at
all the community colleges, so what
makes Clackamas any different?
“We take the time to make
them feel like an individual in
stead of just a body passing
through,” stated Fontaine.
If you have a short or long
term disability and would like more
information on the note taking
service, or would like to find out
about becoming a note taker,
contact Pat Fontaine at ext. 554 or
stop by the Handicapped Resource
Center located in the Community
Center.

'Talk Radio1
allows
insight by
viewers
Talk Radio is a film that al
lows the viewer to see a man vent
his aggression at the world. This
may not sound like a fun-filled
evening for most, but I strongly
urge you to see the movie.
The film follows the life of
radio talk jockey Gary Cham
plain played by Eric Bogosian.
Bogosian helped write the origi
nal play and also collaborated on
the movie with Oscar-winning
director Oliver Stone.
More often than not Cham
plain’s shows turn into a scream
fest between himself and a caller,
usually a neo-nazi telling him he
is going to die. Champlain will
often thank them, then insult their
intelligence, sounding calm and
collected over the air though in
the studio he is about to have a
breakdown.
Tad Savinar, a Portlander,
came up with the original story
idea while listening to KKEY, he
revealed in a recent Oregonian
interview. Then he and Bogo
sian hacked out the play that
became a hit in New York. He
also felt that the flashback se
quence did not work well and
even “fizzled.”
The cinematography was
exciting and Stone’s use of a split
screen to show two characters in
focus, and the utilization of the
reflections in the studio windows,
were fantastic.
