See page 2 Features Assistant dean retires After 37 years in the field of education, John Hooley, the college's assistant dean of hu- manities , is retiring. Looking back, Hooley emphasizes the fact that he has always tried to motivate students. "I always tried to tell a student that he or she could succeed. I tried to point out their strengths and not so much their weaknesses," he said. See page 4 ... LCOP provides strong 'sup port system' The Life and Career Options Program provides aj'support system" for displaced home makers and single parents.

ASG Entertainment Senator Shirley Hewitt compiled the re sults 9f the survey and had this to say about them. "Hopefully, this survey will give us a basic idea of what we can do next year as far as enter tainment is concerned. Although the survey was compiled from a small percentage of students, the results are fairly widespread on a number of subjects." Topics on the survey form were based on the question of "How do you like to spend your fieetime?" Students were asked to fill in responses to subjects such as music, sports and out door activities, dancing, speak ers on topics of interest, movies and other areas of entertainment. Eighteen percent of the re spondents chose sports and out door activities as what the ASG should spend entertainment dol lars promoting. Seventeen per cent chose music, 14 percent chose movies, 11 percent chose speakers and classes on topics of interest, and nine percent chose dancing. Each of these categories were broken down further into the types of activities. Thirty-one percent chose other areas of interest, which included comedians, board games, card games, craft fairs and art shows. The average age of the 142 respondents to the survey was 25. Theaveragenumberofcredit hours taken were 13, while 34 percent of respondents reside in either Milwaukie or Oregon City. Earthquake damage reviewed; repairs planned by Jason Eek Staffwriter After careful inspection of the Community Center building, it has been suggested by an engi neering'firm to repair the dam age done during the March 25 earthquake. The damage search was long and consisted of many steps. The process included two walk throughs of the building by Dirk Looijenga of the Consulting Engineer firm- VanDomelen/ Looijenga/McGarrigle/Knauf, review of the as-built drawings (to determine the design and materials that were used in the original construction) and calcu lations to repair the damage ac cordingly. The damage that was ob served includes cracks on the brick piers on the exterior of the north and south ends of the building, cracks on the main roof level and some cracking of brick at the base of a few columns on the interior of the building. In the review of the earth quake damage, it was suggested by VLMF to have the damage re paired to minimize damage in future earthquakes. To repair the damage, all cracks would be filled using an injected epoxy resin to reinforce the roof and exterior piers. “This is what we’ll do ex actly,” said Carol Patterson, di rector of Plant Services. “We’ll do it over the summer nionths.” The outside damage has to be repaired in dry conditions so the affected areas respond to the she said. The college is fortunate that the earthquake did not cause as much damage as it conceivably could have. "The damage wasn't as extensive as we thought it was. Structurally, the building is sound." - Carol Patterson repairs, according to Patterson. The repairs will be of mini mal cost to the college, as the col- lege’s insurance company will cover the majority of the cost, “The damage wasn’t as ex tensive as we thought it was. Structurally, the building is sound,” Patterson concluded.
