Criminal Justice starts cadet program I Mike Kopetskl was on campus last Wednesday campaign* | Ing. Kopetskl is running for Congress in the fifth Congres- I sional District against Incumbent Denny Smith. Recent polls [have put Kopetskl 10 points ahead of Smith In the race. Kopetski addresses many issues while campaigning at Clackamas by Nolan Kidwell ¡Staff Writer Mike Kopetski, running for state representative, talked to a large group of students and staff in the Community Center Mall on Oct. 23. Kopetski’s opening speech dealt mostly with the attacks made by his opponent for the Novem ber elections, Oregon State Rep resentative Deny Smith, and his views on current affairs. “I think one of the basic prob lems with Congress is that there is too much bickering and com plaining going on rather than so lutions to the problem,” said kopetski. “I think that it’s time to take off their partisan hats and sit □own at the tables and act as re sponsible Americans, addressing the problems that face us.” Kopetski stated that he felt ¡there was too much military spending in Western Europe, ¡when it could be being spent on education and the economy. “You look at you students ¡today having to work full time and go to school part time and you know it isn’t the same(as in the past). "You (students) ought to be angiy,” he said. “You ought to be mad at the Congress of the United States because they are cutting back on school loan fund ing and instead they are spend ing money in Western Europe.” The spotted owl issue was also discussed. Kopetski thinks that the current measures con cerning the owl are being put off and that a decision needs to be made. According to Kopetski, if en vironmentalists and loggers were to come together “in the same room” a formidable compromise could be made. Kopetski’s personal ideas on the matter are that there defi nitely needs to be forest set aside for the owls, but he doesn’t feel that it is as much as environ mentalists call for, and that a compromis can be made. In the student questioning which followed his opening state ments, Kopetski related that Smith’s campaign to discredit him is “desperate.” Kopetski said that although he did vote in favor of the acts which Smith’s television commer cials mention, that most of these acts, like the showers for Con gress, do not cost tax payers any thing. “The showers can be used by any one who works in the building.... and they have to paya fee to use them.” by Jennifer Soper Feature Editor Students will be patroling campus with Public Safety, now that the Criminal Justice Depart ment began its cadet patrol. “Criminal justice students are more regimented and attuned to public service needs,” explained Chief of Public Safety Jim Wise man. “Our span of control is much tighter. “Criminal justice may be putting people in jail and fighting crime, but the true purpose is public service,” Wiseman continued. Currently there are nine ca dets in the program, that began last Wednesday. They operate in two main campus patrols and one Wilsonville patrol Monday through Friday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. After completing the orien tation, the cadets will receive train- ing in first aid procedures, pre liminary self-defense, adverse confrontation, traffic control, building security, crowd control and perso nal/human observations skills. “The cadets will receive train ing beyond that which is offered to a criminal justice student,” said Director of Public Services James Brouillette. “Many of the training opportunities will provide practi cal use of enforcement techniques.” Wiseman regards the cadets as a “ground level public service group.” They will patrol the cam pus, serve as criminal observation points and amplify the public safety officer’s observation points, he said. “The program provides an opportunity for students on cam pus who are involved with the criminal justice program to expe rience firsthand the practices and conditions that will confront them later in their careers,” Brouillette said. “It also provides an opportu nity for the college to receive policing at major events with a minimum cost” Cynthia Kunz and Ken Schnell are the two senior cadets in the program who will oversee the oth ers and report back to the public safety officers on duty, according to Wiseman. They were chosen for their maturity and experiences, he said. “At the end of the spring there will be a total reassessment of the cadet program,” Wiseman said. “The goal for this program is to offer a students training and experiences that will provide them a better opportunity^ be hired,” stated Brouillette.
