"Let me get this straight! Within three months, two
men in a household are found dead at the bottom of the
same staircase and no one has bothered to inform me of
this?"

Several students are busily
preparing to perform three one-
act plays and one three-act play
in early December.
The first one-act play, a melo
drama called “The Banker’s Di
lemma” or “How the Famous
Dollop and Trippington Railroad
Came to Botts, California,” will
be performed on Dec. 6 at 12:30
p.m. It was written by Cleve
Haubold, and is being directed by
Howard Smith “I want to make
the audience laugh,” Smith said.
The cast includes William
Andersen, Rosemary Charters,
Franklin Cline and Heather
Rowley; the crew includes John
Rice, Howard Smith and Matt
Russell.
This old-fashioned melo
drama includes a villain, a hero
ine, an invaluable helper and a
possible hero. It shows that you
don’t have to be perfect to be of
value to others.
“By the virtue of it being
what it is, we’re going to take the
comedy aspects to the limit we can
take it,” Smith said. “I don’t want
to do it for me...it’s just something
I wanted to do.”
The second one-^act play,
“Don Juan, Man of Seville,” was
written by student Trent Tidwell,
and is being directed by Melody
Muth. It will be performed Dec.
8 at noon. The cast includes Matt
Russell, Trent Tidwell, Rae Coo
per and Jen Johnson.
“It’s a really good play; re
ally well-written,” Muth said.

funds for the recently-finished

Technology Center.
Nearly $2.7 million was col
lected to help pay for items to fur
nish the new building. The funds
collected include the donation of
land by Tektronix to construct the
center on. Tektronix donated the
land in 1988, and a levy was
passed by Clackamas County vot
ers in 1989 to pay for the con
struction. .

According to Assistant to the
President for College Advance
ment David Dickson, the center
was under construction beginning
in the fall of 1990, and it took
approximately one year to com
plete. The campaign to raise funds
began soon after and was com
pleted in June.
Work at the center involves
helping small and midsize manu
facturing companies with improv
ing the quality of their products.
The center allows these compa
nies to train their employees and
test new products.
“We have some really good
people.”
“I just hope that people find
the humor in it,” Tidwell said,
“but it’s a pretty moral play. Don
