Clackamas Community Col lege will step in time with the rest of the Oregon public school sys tem and begin their winter classes Jan. 3 instead of Jan. 2. Initially the college had thought it wise to overlook the legal holiday representing the new year because of the already condensed term. However, after three weeks of rigorous discussion by President’s Council members, it became apparent that the suc cess of the students may be placed in jeopardy. According to ASG President Amy Lundy, President’s Council was concerned that attendance would be muffled because of the confusion of the holiday. potentially lost many students who travel to the campus with the help of Tri-Met.

The col CCC choirs keep holiday carols alive by Cori Kargel Copy Editor The Clackamas Music Department’s annual holiday con cert, “Christmas by Candlelight,” is now in its 13th year. The concet is “a traditional favorite,” said Choir Conductor Lonnie Cline. The CCC Chamber Singers, College Chorale, String Ensemble and Brass Ensemble will all be featured at the performance. “It’s a great way to listen to excellent music and get into the holiday spirit,” said choir student Karie House. The groups have been prac- lege would have ticing their performance pieces all term. “We’re all happy to pre pare to do this,” Cline said. “It keeps Christmas carols alive, and I LOVE IT!” said Jim Knox, a choir student. Pieces performed will include works by Poulenc, Part and Bach. Also included will be “Candle light Carol,” which is tradition ally performed every year.

Truly cool experience,” said stu dent Matt Jones. “It’s tough to describe, so go see it for yourself.” holiday schedule. “I think it was a hard decision, but I think it was a necessary decision,” Lundy said. Another dilemma the college had to face was the new wait-list . policy. This policy penalizes stu dents who miss their first class session of the term. The current policy states that if students miss their first class of the new term, they may be dropped from the class. If an abundance of students had missed the first day, the col lege may have been faced with re tracting this policy - an action it would surely like to avoid. CCC students can now enjoy the same luxuries that every other Oregon scholar will be partaking in. Eat a little more holiday grub, enjoy a Ducks-thrashing of Penn State and sharpen your pencils. “This is good for everyone,” Lundy concluded.
