Clackamas’ two vocal jazz en Clackamas Community College Student's car flips at main entrance Paul Ulmen Staff Writer Two Clackamas students es caped injury early Monday after noon when their car lost control and overturned after swerving to avoid hitting another car that had turned left in front of them. The driver, Garland Head, and his passenger, Wes Brown, were going through the Molalla Ave. and Hwy. 213 intersection, coming onto campus, when a new model red sedan turned left in front of them. Both cars appar ently had a green light, but the driver of the red car should have yielded the right-of-way. Head swerved to one side to keep from hitting the red car, then had to swerve in the opposite di rection to keep from hitting cars in the other lanes. The streets were wet and slippery from the rain and as Head mentioned, “It doesn’t take much to hydroplane.” He then lost control, went off the road onto the grass, skidding side ways for about 50 or 60 feet, hit two buried boulders, became air borne and over turned. Head was a little stiff from the ordeal but uninjured. Brown’s only injury was a small cut on his hand, received from broken glass as he crawled out of the car. “I didn’t think we would overturn once we hit the rocks, I thought we would just stop,” said Brown. “I didn’t have time to be photo by Josh Kehler No one was seriously Injured when student Garland Head swerved to avoid an accident, lost control of his car and came to rest upside down near the Molalla entrance to the college. See page 3 for related photo. scared,” said Head. “I Did,” said Brown. “It’s all related to speed. We don’t get too many cars flipped over on campus,” said Sgt.Dexheimer of Campus Secu rity, who thought Head may have been going faster than he real ized. Head however, contends he was traveling at about 35 m.p.h. when the accident occurred. The 1975 Plymouth Valiant appeared to be a total loss. Head was upset that the per son that he felt caused the acci dent didn’t stop and return to the scene. “Would the person of the little red car come back and ad mit your fault? Be an adult about it,” he said. Head further added that ev eryone should drive with seatbelts on. “This could happen to you.” In spite of the accident every one remained light hearted. “I guess I should apologize to the school for hitting their rocks,” quipped Head. A pass erby mentioned they could hang a sign on the back of the car that said, “Don’t drink and Drive,” or that they could leave the car there as a sort of campus ornament. Some witnesses who saw the accident stopped, but didn’t leave their names. Dexheimer requests that witnesses give any informa tion to Campus Security. sembles, Mainstream and Straight Ahead, as well as alumni, are sched uled to perform at a special presenta tion of vocal jazz under the direction of Lonnie Cline.

Hanson Managing Editor Concerned with environ mental issues? ASG is seeking students to join a committee in preparation for the upcoming Environmental Week. Meetings are held each Tuesday from 12:30 to 12:50 p.m. in Dye 103. Environmental Week is the week of May 20-24. According to Ken Eshelman of the ASG Legislati ve Committee,” we will be concentrating on all types of environmental issues,” includ ing Bottle Bill expansion, Tri met light rail and busing, land use planning, salmon restora tion, forest conservation, pres ervation of clean air and water and CCC’s commitment to re cycling. Tentative plans thus far consist of having a band play each day, speakers on the vari ous issues and group displays. “We want to have a really big week that’s proactive on en vironmental issues,” Eshelman said. . Last Spring, ASG joined the “Coalition For Expanded Bottle Bill.” CCC was “the first student body to support and en dorse expansion.” The question posed by the coalition was whether or not the “bottle bill be amended to broaden the types of beverage containers which must have a refund value?” Taken into con sideration was that over 100 million beverage containers were landfilled or incinerated in Oregon because they were not covered by the bottle bill in 1994. Also beverage sales of products not covered under the bottle bill are increasing at a rapid rate, accounting for ten percent of the total soft drink market.Nearly all of deposit glass bottles are recycled in Or egon while only 28 percent of non-deposit glass bottles are re cycled. The nation’s first bottle bill was past by the previous genera tion. It succeeded in decreasing litter by 80 percent, and a 93 per cent recycling rate of bottles and cans. This impacts Oregon by saving energy used for the pro duction of aluminum and “re duction of 71,800 tons of gar bage from landfills each year.” “It’s our turn now to be proactive in making a difference for the next generation,” said Eshelman. Anyone with ideas that they would like to see presented dur ing Environmental Week can at tend the weekly Legislative Committee meetings or contact Ken Eshelman at ext. 2245. Enrollment increases Pamela Sirianni Staff Writer Enrollment at Clackamas Community College has in creased significantly this fall, for the first time in two years. “The college had significant enrollment increases until the last two years and then last year our enrollment went down five per cent,” said Dian Connett, dean of instructional services. The college had concern about what needed to be done to improve this situation. “Last year the president (John Keyser) asked some of the faculty and staff members to form an enrollment council,” said Connett. The enrollment council was formed at the end of last fall term. The function of this council is to find ways to improve enrollment. The council sets goals for im provement, designs projects to attract students, looks at schedul ing and brainstorms ideas for greater enrollment. One of those projects was the compressed Spanish class, offered last summer. This class gave stu dents the opportunity to earn one year’s worth of credit in a 10 week course. A class planned for winter term is a compressed AAOT (As sociate of Arts Oregon Transfer) course in building construction. This class offers students the op portunity to earn an associate de gree in 15 months. Next fall there is a class planned that will offer a com pressed AAOT degree in busi ness». These improvements have had an impact on enrollment. “The goal we (the enrollment council) set over-all was to- in crease our FTE (Full Time Equivalency) two percent a year,” said Connett. Not only did they reach their two percent goal, but surpassed it with an increase of the E1E by 3.8 percent. “What we are seeing is a lot more part-time students coming in because the economy is so good that they are wanting to work and go to school part-time,” said Connett. The head count of part-time students increased by 611 this fall. The enrollment council is looking into ways to make it easier for part-time students to successfully work and attend school at the same time. They are considering such things as offer ing back-to-back classes in the evening and working on improv ing the availability of child care. “We really want to look at not just getting students here, but what we need to do to make them successful,” said Connett.
