College staff concerned over Dr. Doob
by Jim Titus
Editor-in-Chief
College staff working in the
Community Center voiced their
concern over loud entertainment
in that facility to Dean of Student
Services Jim Roberts Monday.
A petition had been circulated
among Community Center staff
last week. It stated that those who
signed were notopposcd to activi
ties in the Community Center, but
wanted loud activities that were
disruptive to normal operation
stopped.
“We’re not against events in
the Community Center,” said
Susan Reynolds, a secretary in the
counseling department, “we’re
against them when they’re disrupt
tive.”
Reynolds explained that
Roberts had commentedon the
staff’s concerns with Student Ac
tivities. Options to cut down on
the noise level included holding
the activities in the Fireside
Lounge, the area campus deejay
“Dr. Doob” was moved to.
Counselor Vince Fitzgerald
explained that noise problems had

increased with “the nature of
function in the mall.”
“We have some real limita
tions. More of our work is done in
the mall. We need another place
for student activities,” Fitzgerald
said. He added that “Testing takes
the brunt of (the noise). It com
promises the test.”
The Financial Aid Office is
located closest to the area where
most mall entertainment is held,
“We definitely have problems.
Sometimes you can’t hear the
person you’re talking to,” said
Financial Aid Bookkeeper Ruth
Rippey. “Activities in the Com
munity Center need to be at an
appropriate level. They need to
be monitored.”

ist Qail Laferriere said that the
noise level was loud enough on
several occasions to make phone
conversations in the Career and
Job Development Center difficult,
but she isn’t opposed to holding
activities in the mall.

are both full at around 10 a.m.
The Community Center (391
spaces), Hilltop (95 spaces) and
Barlow (792 spaces) are near
capacity by 11 a.m.
On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and
Saturdays there is not as much
parking congestion as there is on
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
“We are within 15 percent of
our campus parking capacity at
the peak hours of 9 a.m. through
11:50 a.m., Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday. We do not have prob
lems finding parking space at night,
or during Tuesday, Thursday, or
Saturday,” said Johnson.
To help reduce the amount of
parking congestion, 200 parking
spaces are to be constructed.
Randall and McLoughlin lots are
to be combined and enlarged. The
construction work is slated to start
after graduation this June, and
should be completed by Fall Term
of 1990.
The construc
tion work will coincide with the
raisingoftwo buildings which will
be located behind McLoughlin
where a soccer field now lays. These
two new buildings will have 389
spaces to provide for parking.
With the addition of the 200
parking spaces the total number
of parking spaces on the Clacka
mas campus would be at 1,978
spaces. This figure does not in
clude the 28 handicap parking
spaces located at various places
around the campus.
“The highest priority should
be given to construction of the
200 new parking spaces in sup
port of the new building,” con
cluded Johnson.
