High winds for the last three days have caused much damage
on campus and throughout Oregon.
Two new radios were stolen
from the Public Safely trailer during
Christmas Break.
“The possibility of someone
just walking in and taki ng the radios
is unlikely,” said Chief of Public
Safety Stan Johnson.
The radios were Mirco-Proc-
essor Radio-Telephone Intercon
nect systems. They enabled cam
pus security to access telephone
lines directly through their radios.
Incoming telephone calls could
also be patched through to the
security radios.
The theft occurred sometime
between 10 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
on Dec. 20 according to police
reports. Johnson said the radios
had just been taken out of their
boxes and placed in chargers that
morning.
On duly security guard Robert
Funkhouser was touring the
campus when the thefts occurred.
“Whoever took (the radios)
knew what they were doing be
cause they took the chargers,”
Johnson said.
The estimated loss of college
property is more than $1800.
“I don’t know whether we’re
going to replace them or not,”
Johnson said of the radios. “It’s
being debated, I don’t think so
though.”
“It’s really frustrating. We’ve
been trying to get these for three
years.” .
According to the police re
port, there was no sign of forced
entry. The radios are believed to
be in the Oregon City area.
“I think in order to have a
crime, you have to have a motive,
a means,; and an opportunity.
Whomever committed this crime
obviously had all three,” said
Johnson.
Campus to remain smoke free indoors
by Jim Titus
Editor-in-Chief
The Clackamas Community
College Board of Education unani
mously approved a motion Dec.
13 to continue the indoor smok
ing ban on campus while making
some improvements to outdoor
smoking areas.
According to the minutes of
the meeting, Board Member Mimi
Urbigkeit said she “thought enough
time had been spent on thé issue,
and that Board action represented
a reasonable compromise.” She
also stated that “education dol
lars should be spent on educa
tion.”
Agreeing with Urbigkeit’s
comments, Board Member Ross
Smith added that “if the issue
resurfaces, the Board will not be
so generous.” •
College President John Key
ser spoke at the meeting in sup
port of a memo he had written to
the board concerning the issue.
The memo summed up the his
tory of the ban, which began on a
one-term trial basis this fall. Two
forums were held to discuss the
issue, and a campus-wide opinion
poll was taken near the end of last
term.
The poll showed 26 percent
in favor of continuing the ban while
upgrading outdoor facilities, 30
percent in favor of continuing the
ban without change, and 40 per
cent favoring an indoor smoking
area.
Keyser’s conclusion regard
ing the poll was that the majority
(56 percent) of those polled were
in favor of continuing the ban and
upgrading outdoor smoking ar
eas. Keyser had previously rec
ommended to the President’s
Council that Public Safety be re
located and Trailer A be converted
into a ‘’smokers’ lounge.” The
council vetoed this proposal due
to concerns over ventilation and
security of the Public Safety trailer.
Keyser stated that, with con
struction plans for new facilities
under way, “there may be more
improvements (to outdoor smok
ing facilities). There may be a way
to provide something more long
term.” Currently, the only improve
ment made to outdoor smoking
facilities have been the addition
of picnic tables.
“From my standpoint, I would
have liked to have provided some
thing more for the smokers,”
Keyser said.
Debate over the smoking is
sue may not yet be over, however.
Keyser explained that a recent court
case had decided that whether or
not to allow indoor smoking is a
“condition of work,” and thus
subject to bargaining by labor
groups If an upcoming meeting
with the college’s three labor
groups leads to a reversal of the
ban as a contract condition, stu
dent smokers will also beaffected.
CCC bad weather closure policy set
Lane Scheideman
Staff Writer
In the event of bad weather,
hazardous driving conditions, or
other emergencies, the Dean of
Instruction Lyle Reese, decides
whether the classes and events at
Clackamas will be open, closed,
or delayed.
Prior to 5 a.m., the Pub
lic Safety officer on duty will
consult various weather stations.
If the Public Safety officer feels
that the weather conditions are
so extremethat the college
should be closed the officer will
recommend to Reese that action
be taken.
Reese will then make the fi
nal decision of whether or not the
college will be closed.
If Reese decides to close the
college the various news agencies
will be informed. Blinking lights
and “college closed” signs will be
put up at the Molalla and Beaver
creek entrances, and also at the
Tri-Met bus stop.
If the college’s opening is to
be delayed the procedure will be
the sameas if the college was to be
closed, with the exception that
signs, stating the time the college
is to be open, will be put up along
with the “college closed” signs.
There is a possibility that the
day classes will be cancelled and
the night classes still be held. Reese
will make this decision, if neces
sary, before 2:45 p.m.
Nearly all of the radio sta
tions will announce the status of
the college prior to 7 a.m. for day
classes and prior to 3 p.m. for
evening
classes.
KATU
TV(channel 2), KOIN TV(channel
6), and KGW TV(channel 8) will
also announce the status of the
News
Digest
college.
The current guideline for
college closures does not give much
information about the Harmony
Center. Stan Johnson, chief of
public safety, feels that this is one
area that needs to be reworked.
The weather is one of the
hardest things to predict. There
have been times, according to
Johnson, that the college has been
closed because of too much snow
and by noon the sun is shining and
all the snow has melted away.
