Amy K. Hanson Managing Editor CC Public safety warns against 'false sense of security1 Paul Ulmen Staff Writer While one student complains to another about having his car broken into, two women at the Child Care Center had their purses stolen, with one purse con taining over $500. Is theft and personal safety a problem at CCC and if so what can be done about it? Jim Wiseman, director of public safety, feels that based on past records the amount of theft and personal endangerment have stayed about the same, not going up or down. CCC has a reputa tion for being a safe campus, “But people can get lulled into a false sense of security because of the beautiful surroundings,” stated Wiseman. “Theft in any public area is always a problem. We have so many gadgets, walkmans and cameras that we can leave in a car seat or restroom or lay on a table, turn our backs and it’s gone,” Wiseman said. The solution to the problem, he feels, lies within each one of us to be vigilant, aware, observant and not to make ourselves a target. He further mentioned we need to watch out for each other, “as brothers and sisters.” There have been some car thefts in the past but none so far this year and only about 3 car an even safer campus and com bat theft. Wiseman suggests to not leave anything out in plain view in your car. Put it under the seat, take it with you or put it in your trunk. Stereo systems can be purchased that are removable or that have a detachable face. Use the “Club” or similar device that locks onto your steering wheel. Lock your doors and take your keys. Don’t tempt thieves by setting your personal belongings down and walking away. If it is someone else's property watch over it or turn it in to an instruc tor,office staff or security guard. For personal safety you can call one of the cadets in training at night to walk you to your car. Security guards on campus do have a two year degree in crimi naljustice and take special classes through Clackamas County Criminal Justice Department. Wiseman also feels that students walking around-the trails of the outer perimeter of the campus should be with a friend as the thick foliage can conceal an at tacker. If you are held up don’t resist as property can be replaced, people can’t. For those who would like more information there are two free brochures, one on per sonal safety and the other one on campus safety; that can be picked up in the public safety office at Clairmont Hall, room 150 A. 'Green Day* rocks with 'Insomniac' Jon Roberts Feature Editor The newest CD Insomniac by Green Day is a lot like their last CD Dookie, it has the same basic sound that Green Day is famous for. It has the trademark repetitive yet strong lead guitar, and awesome bass riffs by Mike Dirnt. The drums by Tre Cool are Smith-English brings new ideas to Clackamas theater spectacular as usual. On this CD Green Day ex periments a little with a few songs that are more like rock and less like the punk rock. Don’t get me wrong this new sound is not bad, it’s good, just different. The fourth track is Green day’s newest hit single called Geek Stink Breath. It is also my favorite song through the first half of the tape. The last half of the tape is very good. . This CD gets a three stars out of a possible four, only because it’s not as good as their last CD. But it is still a good CD. Green Day fans will enjoy it, but it may not be as popular as Dookie was, only time will tell. ' PARRY CENTER FOR CHILDREN ) JOB ANNOVNCEMENT Weekend Day Child Care Workers POSITION: BASIC FUNCTION: Jon Roberts Feature Editor David Smith-English, the new theater teacher, is new to teaching here .at Clackamas, but not to the college. He worked at Clackamas from 1980 to 1987, when he was in charge of design ing sets and teaching theater techniques. Smith-English then moved on to Jefferson High School where he taught theater. He worked with eight other staff members to make Jefferson’s theater one of the best in the state. He also directed an acting ensemble for Jefferson that toured the West Coast. “This was one of my most enjoyable experi ences,” said Smith-English. Smith-English has been a professional actor, director, singer and designer. He has also worked in most theaters in the Portland area. His favorite play is the one he worked on here at Clackamas last spring, “Betty the Yeti.” Right now Smith-English is break-ins in the last 12 months. But with winter coming on, darker cloudier skies, the sun go ing down earlier and less light, crime can be on the increase. We all need to be more careful and observant. If you do see some thing suspicious go to a safe area or building and phone for help. You don’t need a quarter to phone from a public pay phone to dial 911. Or once inside dial O for the operator who will connect you with the switchboard or dial ex tension 2302. Don’t try to inter vene as the assailant may be armed. If you have been victim ized, report it immediately. When students were asked whether they felt safe on campus the response was positive. Melisa, a psyche major, said she felt safe here on campus and hasn’t had anything taken or know of any one who has but had a wallet taken while at another college. She mentioned she had left her bag on a table here for about 20 minutes and no one bothered it. Debbie Barker, a nursing major, said she doesn’t feel unsafe or know of anyone who has a prob lem with theft. When asked how safe she felt at night, mentioned she walked out of her class as a group and someone walked with her to her car.
