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.

Campus security calls triple
These CCC students sharpen their reflexes in an effort to
improve test scores... ?

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.”
