Transportation limitations pose
problems for disabled students

Although CCC has made
improvements in the campus’
handicapped access, disabled stu
dents are finding it difficult get
ting to and from the college, ac
cording to Dave Cambpell, coun
selor-coordinator for disabled
student services.
Elevators, automatic doors
and ramps are some of the things
that have been done on campus
to make it easier for handicapped
students. Although these things
are helpful, there is still room for
improvement, says Cambpell.
The elevators, located- in
Randall and McGloughlin, re
quire either a key or that a but
ton is pushed in order to operate.
This is a problem for some dis
abled students, according to
Cambpell. “Some students with
upper body limitations, who
happen to be in wheelchairs, can’t
operate the elevator because the
buttons are too high,” Cambpell
said.
There are ramps in Barlow
and McGloughlin to make more
classrooms accessible to handi
cap students. Though the ramp
in Barlow, Cambpell believes, is
too steep. He added that stu
dents in wheelchairs have to have
a lot of upper body strength to
use it.
The automatic doors located
at the openings of some build
ings and some bathrooms have
been around for years, according
to Carol Paterson, custodial/
grounds service manager. A re
cent improvement, however, is
that the bathroom stalls have been
extended so they can accommo
date wheelchairs. This project
was completed just last term, ac
cording to Paterson.
Paterson commented that the
exterior doors to Pauling will be
fixed sometime within this cal
endar year. “The doors meet
code,” Paterson added, “ they
are just not functional for handi
capped students.”
The restroom doors will also
be adjusted sometime before
summer term, according to Pa
terson.
Cambpell feels that the big
gest problem is with transporta
tion to and from the college. “If
you can’t get the people to the
college, the access issues aren’t
an issue,” Cambpell commented.
The only mode of transpor
tation at CCC for disabled stu
dents is vans which run only be
tween 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
While these vans can transport
students in wheelchairs, they can
not transport people who use
motorized scooters, according to
Cambpell. The students who use
motorized scooters can’t be belted
into the vans that CCC uses now.
Multnomah County, how
ever, does have transportation
accessible for students in scoot
ers.
Cambpell mentioned that the
High Tech Center (for the dis
abled) Committee, which he is a
part of, is currently working on
the transportation issue.
“Tremors,” despite its first
impression, is not just a "horror"
movie. It’s first a comedy really; a
horror-suspense comedy. Not
many movies such as this are
ever released unfortunately, which
is what makes it so fresh and en
joyable.
Kevin Bacon (Vai McKee) and
Fred Ward (Earl Bassett) star in
this Ronald Underwood direction
(he also co-wrote the script) of a
Universal release.
Basically, dirt worms have
made Perfection, Nevada, (Pop.
14) their new home and its citi
zens, their dinner. Vai and Earl,
along with a college student (Finn
Carter) who is working on her
Ph.D. in geology studying seis
mology in the area, and later be
comes Bacon’s love-interest, put
their rationale and wits together
to try to figure out what these
things are, let alone stop them.
Michael Gross (Family Ties)
and Reba McEntire play a sur-
vival-of-the-fittest couple who have
so many firearms of every variety
that even the president of the NRA
would be suspicious. Mr. and Mrs.
a running human and are power
ful enough to suck an entire sta
tion wagon under subterranear
style faster than you can say “This
is not your father’s Oldsmobile.’
“Tremors” is not an “Eln
Street,” nor is it another “Aliens’
or even a “Dune.” It’s filled wit!
first class one-liners found only ir
a pure comedy like this. "Trem
ors" is as well written as it coulc
have been, bordering on educa
lively corny, yet staying a horroj
movie in the classic sense.
Bacon and Ward also have i
chemistry that is hard to find or
the silver screen. Neither become
super heroes like Sigournej
Weaver in the “Alien” movies
nor do they fail their dust bowl o
a town. They simply make one ra
tional decision after the other basec
on the clues they’ve progressive!)
found. Prepare to be enlightenec
by the Perfectionists of Nevada.

the viewer in their gung-ho,
Rambo-like serious quest to help
defeat the worms.
It’s soon realized that the
ground worms can only move
through top soil and can’t pene
trate rocks. These rednecks do
anything from pole vaulting to
distract-and-r un tactics to escape.

Short displays art in Pauling
by Me-Lissa Cartales

Ninety to one hundred people
attended the reception that
opened the art show of Margret
Short, a Clackamas alumna, at
the Pauling Gallery last Wednes
day.
Short took some art classes
in high school, but she says, “I’d
never had any formal training.”
In 1970, when her youngest
son started day school, Short began
to study art with a woman by the
name of Betty Brodhagen. She
learned a basic three step style of
painting that has stayed with her
throughout her painting career.
Short studied with Brodhagen
for five years.
“I started back to school in
1978,” said Short. She spent her
first year at Marylhurst but then
came here, to Clackamas. “I loved
it here,” Short commented on
her two years at Clackamas. “I
loved getting to know the younger
people.”
Short graduated from Ma
rylhurst in the Spring of 1984
with a Bachelor of Fine Arts
Degree.
“I graduated from college
when I was forty years old,” she
commented.
Short has been in several one

person shows since graduation, as
well as many group shows. Ac
cording to her resume, her work is
included in collections through
out the United States and also
London, England. She has taught
painting in several places, includ
ing Clackamas.
The artist creates her work at
her home and studio in Milwaukie.
During the reception, she showed
slides of her home, which is a
veritable monument of her work.
Short's work displayed in the
Pauling Gallery now through
February 28 includes ten still life
portraits, and several portraits,
including her most recent works:
a full-size self portrait and a por
trait of her husband, David Short.
Also in the gallery showcases are
sketches, hand painted handbags,
original stationary, and souve
nirs of her travels.

THINK ALIKE,
BUT FOR THOSE WHO
LIKE TO THINK.
