4SG meetings scheduled

A draft of a proposed behav­
ior code, which would explain what
is expected from athletes compet­
ing on a CCC team, will be pre­
sented to the President’s Council
this month.
According to Carol Petersen,
athletic director, the code is a
written explanation of the con­
duct procedures that athletes are
presently required to follow.
Petersen attributes part of the
theory behind a standardized
behavior code to a suggestion of a
Washington assistant attorney
general’s recommendation at a con­
vention she attended.
. Among one of the require­
ments of the proposed behavior
code is that students, “refrain from
using alcohol, tobacco and any il­
legal drug while in a role as a repre
sentative of the college.”
According to Jim Jackson,
student activities director, and
wrestling coach, the current code
for student activities states that at
off campus functions where stu­
dents represent the college, stu­
dents are permitted to use alcohol
on their free time, when they are
not activity participating in the
activity.
The proposed code states from
the time the team leaves the Clacka­
mas campus for a game or event
until the time they arrive back,
they are not permitted to use any
alcoholic substances whatsoever.
The disciplinary action for not
conforming to the behavior code
would be.suspension or removal
from futpre participation in the
activities.
The code also states that a
student must complete a minimum
of 12 credit hours in the previous
term and be enrolled in 12 credit
hours the terms they are partici­
pating in. Athletes must also
achieve a minimum of a 2.00 GPA
Petersen supports her pro­
posed draft on the grounds that
“every culture needs toset up and
agree to their own rules and guide­
lines.” She explains that the pro­
posal is not necessarily for legal
reasons but more for reinforcing
what is expected from theathletes
so they don’t have any surprises.
Petersen explains that the
proposed behavior code is j us t for
athletic teams. The proposed
behavior code will not effect any
clubs or activities on campus.
Jackson, however feels that the
code may be a stepping stone to
policies in the future.
New fountain will show faces of history
by Melissa Freels
Staff Writer
A proposal for a courtyard
fountain at Clackamas will be pre­
sented at tonight’s Board of Edu­
cation meeting.
The proposal suggests that the
fountain be located in the Court­
yard near the Gregory Forum, the
Learning Resource Center, and
Streeter Hall. If approved, the
project will be completed in mid­
May, when all other construction
on campus will also be finished,
said Gary Dirrim, the Dean of
College Services at Clackamas.
According to landscape archi­
tect Andy Rice, the board has
already been introduced to the
concept and seems supportive, but
wants the funding to be privately
raised. Dirrim believes that if the
proposal is approved, funding will
come from the Capital Projects
hind, the General fund, and a $5000
donation that the school has al­
ready received.
Dirrim added that “It’s very
much in the discussion stage;” but
Rice already has a solid design if
Éditorial comment
Thank you, Measure 5;
now we sit on the floor
the fountain project is given ap­
proval. Rice, who designed the
Geologic Time Scale at Clacka­
mas, plans to build a fountain with
five step-pools which would bor­
der a low wall. On each pool there
will be three to five bronze or)
ceramic masks of people who are
of significant value to the college.
If the board approves of the
fountain, Dirrim said that select­
ing the significant figures will be a
very involved process. A commit­
tee may be appointed to assist in
making a decision.
Rice plans to use “some means
of identifying the people (who
appear on the fountain), .but not
below each mask.” Rice would
like to use a sensitive method of
identification so it will not con­
flict with the art work

Have you noticed that many of your classes have no empty desks
in them? Or that the classes you were looking to get into were closed
and you had an early registration? With classrooms full and
students still looking for classes, look for students to be disturbed
and a strong increase in the drop-out rate.
_i_
Even with the addition of Streeter Hall, classrooms are filled to
their capacity and many are worse due to signed overload. Different
things can be blamed for this, but Measure 5 probably is the single
biggest reason.
That bill alone skyrocketed tuition at the major state colleges.
In ah effort to conserve money, many students have taken the road
of the community college, whose tuition wasn’t as affected as
drastically.
CCC’s enrollment has gone up a slight two percent. But those
classes required for the A A Oregon Transfer degree have been cut
five percent, and those are the classes that fill up the quickest and
are needed the most.
Money needs to be pulled from somewhere to replace that
taken from Measure 5 and to create more of the popular classes.
The lack of desks and desk space are forcing some students to stand
up in the back or sit on the stairs to be able to take the class.
Being a community college, Clackamas must also maintain a
low tcacher-tostudent ratio that attracts many students. There is no
reason to think that enrollment will not continue to rise faster and
faster as the effects of the bill continue to sink their teeth into the
large? state universities.
’
In a community, college, classes must be small enough for
instructors to teach their subjects, while getting their pupils used to
the lives and responsibilities of college students. Classes with not
enough desks or teachers who can’t keep track of even students’
names will discôurage new students and will increase the possibility
of drop-outs.

.
A larger emphasis must be placed on higher education by thé
community. This could include raising property taxes back up oj
the possible introductionof à sales tax. Somehow, money now must
be invested into the community’s teal future.
