' ..... by Nolan Kidwell Features Editor The new Streeter Computer Tech building has been completed and was dedicated on Sept 19 to Jim Streeter, one of toe instructors early in toe college’s history and former math department chairper son. Streeter taught at toe college for 19 years before he died of can cer in 1986. . “Jim Streeter was one of those who started thinking about what toe college could become and be lieved that toe college could be so much more than what it was,” said CCC President John Keyser in his speech at toe Streeter Hall dedica tion ceremony. Streeter wrote three of toe math books which are widely used, in cluding in many classes here on campus. These books are Basic Math Skills, Beginning Algebra, and Intermediate Algebra. He finished his last book about a year before he passed away. “He was not only a great mathe matician but also an artist,” ac cording to Don Hutchison, math department chairperson and a friend of Streeter. “I can’t tell you how many hours, days, years that James spent repairing materials,” said Sharon Streeter, his wife. “He has quite a reputation for leaving some pretty good, precise drawings on chalk boards.” She also talked of the many hours he spent while helping to establish toe math lab and toe materials used there. “He began to see that toe more he wrote, toe better teacher he was,” she said. Streeter originally entered teaching as a tutor, according to his wife.

Hibberd Staff Writer One of Oregon’s more famous heavy metal banSs^Lawless," will be performing on the CCC campus Oct. 21, at 3 p.m. in toe orchard parking lot. “Lawless," originally from West Linn, has been on toe Oregon metal circuit for six years and now they are ready to “rock CCC.” When asked how they felt about playing at toe college, guitarist Shawn Russel said he was “hyped,” and lead vocalist Jeremy Catt said “it will be great.” The group showcases a cast of very talented musicians. They are: John Parmon, 25, drummer, Jer emy Catt, 29, lead guitarist and lead vocalist; Tim Baer, 22, bass guitarist; and Shawn Russel, 25, rhythm guitarist Guitarist Shawn Russel con siders drummer John Parmon to be “toe leader and driving force of toe band.” Although they have had some member changes, “Lawless” has been in existence for six years and looks as if it will now stick together on their quest to be at toe top of toe heavy metal music industry. When asked how he felt about toe state of today’s music industry, lead vocalist/lead guitarist Jeremy Catt replied, “It’s a lot further advanced, in terms of technology, than it used to be.” Guitarist Shawn Russel says that while at CCC, “Lawless” will be playing some of their original tunes like “This Time” and “High Road," along with some popular tunes like, Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train," andRush’s “Fly By Night” Russel names bands like “Metalica,” “Wild Dogs," and “Ju das Priest” as some of his band’s major influences. “We are trying to learn 'Metal- ica’s' new song, “Enter Sandman,” in time for the show at toe school,” commented Russel. “It should be an excellent show,” commented ASG Entertain ment Coordinator, Eddie Murphy. Murphy also mentioned that “Lawless” will be showcasing another local band, which has yet to be named. ‘Lawless” was originally sched uled to play in toe Fireside Lounge but had to be rescheduled to play in toe orchard parking lot due to toe band’s constant compulsion to play their music very loud. “Lawless” has recorded two albums, which are available on toe local market. The first album is en titled, appropriately enough, “Lawless." Their second is en titled, also appropriately, “Unlaw fid." “Lawless” albums can be pur chased at any record store that supplies music by local artists. My thoughts on the game room Recreation Center relocates to Randall by Tammae Smith Staff Writer The infamous game room of Clackamas Community College has at last found a home in toe athletic confines of Randall Hall. Originally, the Community Center played home to the game room. However, after experienc ing overcrowding similar to that of toe old woman in toe shoe, toe game room was booted out to find a home elsewhere. Try as it might, though, the game room could not find a home. It fumbled with toe trailers, strike one; it fouled out with McLough lin, strike two; it struck out with Barlow, strike three; and toe Com munity Center said that it was defi nitely out. Finally, all eyes pivoted to Randall Hall. Suddenly on toe defensive, Randall tried to block: the game room would be too noisy, that was a needed classroom, and besides, who needed a game room, anyway? However, game room advocates were relentless in their offensive maneuvers as they effec tively executed their game plan. The clock ticked down and as toe final seconds approached, the last shot was made. The game room ruled the court and Randall grim aced with defeat. Randall had been dealt a bad hand. Though they knew that toe Community Center had a full house, toe people of Randall still shuffled their feet at this befuddling pre dicament that left them in such a bad suit. Now that they’ve pinged for pong and the volley’s been made, the game room is now ready to serve in Randall Hall, room 101. In passing, you might want to do “toe wave” to College President John Keyser and toe board of direc tors for their fantastic save on toe game room; it was a tough quarter for them. You also might want to be as quiet as church mice when in toe game room, so as to increase your chances of a hole-in-one should you ever take a course in Randall Hall.
