May 13,1992___________ _____________________________ NEWS/OPINION THE CLACKAMAS PRINT____________ Page 3 CCC students to compete at National Skills Olympics by Frank Jordan Copy Editor Three Clackamas Commu nity College drafting and manu facturing students have been in vited to participate in a national skills contest to be held this sum mer in Louisville, KY. The Vocational-Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) is spon soring this event, called the Na tional Skills Olympics, and part of the event will be a demonstration of the AUTOCAD/AUTOCAM computer-aided design program, of which CCC has a training center that is well-known throughout the United States. Tom Laugle, the principal manufacturing technology in structor at Clackamas, will accom pany the students to Kentucky to take part in the demonstration. Terence Schumaker, of the Drafting Department, said, “We received a call from Oregon Cut ting Systems about this competi tion, and VICA expressed an inter est to them to tell us that they wanted us to take part. Needless to say, it was a complete surprise to us.” The Skills Olympics will be primarily for high school students to show off their skills, but Clacka mas and two other colleges, Lan sing Community College of Lan sing, MI, and Jefferson State Vo cational-Technical School of Lou isville, KY have also been invited to take part. At the competition, each team will be given some sort of machine part. Team members must meas ure the part, draw the part in AU TOCAD (Computer-Aided De- sign) and export the drawing file to SMARTCAM (a computer manu facturing program). SMARTCAM will decide the best way to manu facture the part based on the data. Each team then will manufacture three parts, and those parts will be sent to a team of judges. After the first round of judg ing, each team will be sent an al teration of the part, then each team will go back through the design and manufacturing process over again, ending with a second round of judging. Financial support for the trip to Kentucky will come from a vari ety of sources, including Student Activities, the Drafting and Manu facturing Technology Depart ments, and the Industrial Division. The college also hopes to draw some financial support from some of the private industries in the area. 38 f & No: John Hooley Susanna Lundgren Yes: Kate Gray Joe Uris Extra credit? Campus security calls triple These CCC students sharpen their reflexes in an effort to improve test scores... ? by Ginger Land Staff Writer The responsibilities of Cam pus Security were discussed at a joint council meeting held yester day. So far this year, three times as many calls have been put through to the office. In 1990-91, 3,000 calls were recorded, verses the 7,000 already recorded this year and estimated to reach 10,000. Jim Brouilette, department director, commented, ”We receive a potpourri of calls; most are mo torist calls for assistance.'" These calls include dead batteries, lock outs, stolen vehicles, flat tires and cars that have ran out of gas (they MB fest result bringssighof relief will only give you enough gas to get to the closest station, not to the mall). One of the issues discussed at the meeting was the issue of flat tires. Campus Security will only fill the tire with a $3 spray which you can purchase at any Fred Meyer. This spray inflates the tire with air and an extra sealant that can get the motorist to a garage, but they will not change your tire, even if you have a spare. Clacka mas County Sheriffs Deputy Bill Lanier stated, “Of course, we change fires; that’s what we’re here for." When asked how he felt about the Campus Security’s posi tion on the issue, he made no comment, but stated, “they do a pretty good job.” Brouilette feels the separa tion of the Oregon City police and Campus Security was a good deci sion. He made the point that “We (Campus Security) can better re flect the students' attitudes and can better assist them; we would be more empathetic to their needs.” Brouilette also feels that they bet ter fill the needs of the students and staff because the “cadets are more accessible." As the uniformed deputies survey the grounds everyday from their vantage point on top of the hill across from Randall Hall, they also get a feel for who the students are. Brouilette made the comment that “the campus is a family; if they are not of the family we. know almost right away.” * ** be able to hide my true feelings. **“*' the last two weeks. ’ • The two weeks of hell arefr* J very noticeableaffectonmO;:-J: i ij:?-: 1. hire, talked to people who nally over.
