THE PRINT Vol. XXII No. 15 Wednesday, February 22,1989 Clackamas Community College Oregon City, Oregon Soviet economist lectures at CCC Photo by Tim Ztvnay Dr. Lev Nlcholaevich Karpov (r), a noted economist from the Soviet Union, discusses Soviet economics with CCC News Director Nancy Baker during his visit to Clackamas Monday. by Christopher L. Curran Editor The eastern world came to the west Monday as Dr. Lev Nicho- laevich Karpov, a leading Soviet Union economist and advisor to Soviet Premiere Mikial Gorbachev, visited and lectured at Clackamas Community College. The McLoughlin Theatre was filled to capacity as Karpov ex plained the Soviet Union’s efforts in recent years to modernize the economy of his country. Karpov stated that although the Soviet Union was sparked by Gorbachev’s progress on the is sue of glasnost, that vision would not die if Gorbachev was no longer at the top of the Soviet Govern ment Karpov explained to the crowd of students and faculty that the Soviet Union’s prices on items are equivalent to United States prices in the 1930’s. Therefore, the Soviet Union has had to insti tute a turnover tax' on items to make them comparable to the News Digest prices of the United States. After his talk, Karpov fielded questions from the audience.and voiced his opinion that the change towards capitalism by the Soviet Union does not mean that coun try is admitting that their past ways were wrong and updated. Before meeting the crowd at the McLoughlin Theatre, Karpov spoke to a small group of people in the Community Center, which included Clackamas Community College News Director Nancy Baker and John Hooley, Assis tant Dean of Humanities, Learn ing Resource Center and Social Sciences. Karpov’s visit was hosted by Clackamas’ social science de partment. Karpov is on a month-long lecture tour as a guest of the state department of the United States. He also spoke at Reed College earlier in the day. Karpov’s visit to the United States is one more attempt to bet ter relations between the western and eastern worlds. Workshop to be held at Harmony.

Government now at nine members by Christopher L. Curran Editor Clackamas’ Associated Stu dent Government is experiencing ¡another shakeup. This time it has affected their personnel. Renee Bogart and Heather peRoberts, both entertainment senators, have resigned, leaving only nine positions in Associated Student Government full. Fifteen positions constitute a full ASG Board. The resignations come fol bowing Entertainment Coordina tor Tim Pierson’s controversial resignation last month. They are also characteristic of an unhealthy pattern among ASG this year. There has been no one time this year when all 15 ASG positions have been filled. Since fall term ASG mem bers have been falling like domi noes. The first was Former Enter tainment Senator Sara Lack, who turned in her resignation after approximately two weeks in that position. Lack, a speech major, reportedly dropped out because of time conflicts between ASG and the speech program. Shortly thereafter, Assistant to the President Senator Brad Conway resigned and at the con clusion of fall term Administra tive Assistant Beverly Hinkle dropped out of her post Pierson’s resignation was called for by Presi dent Faith Taylor in January. The alarming thing is that onty one of the six positions vacant have been filled. That lone posi tion was Administrative Assistant, which was assumed by Gertrude Amundson, who left her job as senator to the administrative as sistant. Therefore, six spots still remain vacant. Associated Student Govern ment’s entertainment area has beat the hardest hit. There is supposed to be a six member entertainment staff in ASG; an entertainment coordinator and five senators. However, currently there only two entertainment senators, Matt Lind- land and Rebecca Rautenberg. According to the ASG constitution, only half of the cur rent ASG members must be pres ent in order to vote on motions. At this point, that requires five.

CCC equips restrooms with condoms by Briane C. Dotson News Editor Both the Men’s and Women’s bathrooms in the Clackamas Community College Community Center have been equipped with »ndom machines. The condom machines have been installed as a result of thè AIDS policy passed last year, stated Director of Student Activities Debbie Baker. Baker said she would have liked to have put the machines in last year, but that she was told to pait until the AIDS policy had jassed. The condom vending ma rines are owned by Universal pending Service of Portland. The nndoms are supplied by National Sanitary Labs. The condoms them selves are Protex brand and, ac- prding to Consumer Reports pagazine, are in the top ten of the least likely to fail during use.” Condom machines have also beep installed at Mt Hood and Linn-Benton community colleges. Condoms are also available through the Self Help Center of Clackamas County. For condoms to meet gov ernment standards they must be dated and must be made of latex. Condoms made in Taiwan are not dated and are not considered to be safe said Baker. “It gives people an option to be safe if they choose to partici pate in sex,” said Baker about the machines. “The only thing that will re ally help the AIDS problem is education. In some ways it is like drug and alcohol use: to change you have to change your life style,” said Baker.
