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 by Jimmy Criswell Staff Writer 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. Editor-in-chief: Heidi Hoffman News Editor: Jennifer Lessard Feature Editor: Nolan Kidwell Sport?
