Hanson Managing Editor Part-time English Instructor James Grabill was awarded the Oregon Book Award in poetry on Nov. 13 for his book Poem Ris ing out of the Earth and Stand ing up in Someone. Out of 19 entries, Grabill’s book was one of four finalists. His book entitled Through the Green Fire also made into the finals in the creative non-fiction category. “It’s an honor,” he said. “I feel any of the books could have won.” He said that winning this award is a huge encouragement and feels it really helps the work. “I think a lot of poets experi ence a feeling of being on the out skirts of culture,” he said. “Some thing like this can give someone a niche of writing, a true culture, instead of an activity that isn’t truly respected.” Poem Rising out of the Earth and Standing up in Some one covers a number of themes. When Grabill organized the book he separated the poems into three sections. The first section entitled “Wide moment, long afternoons, short weeks, lost hours,” deals with the complex subject of time and the “actuality of actually be ing here.” “We live in a multi-faceted, multi-dimensional world,” he said. The second section is “A dolphin’s mate above crackling ocean mountains.” It includes prose poems that play with real ity using play and jazz music in images. “Approaching form” is the title of the third section which Grabill describes as meditative. “It looks at the presence of things from different angles,” he said. Grabill became interested in writings during his senior yeat at Colorado State University. “I sampled a lot of things and literature and poetry was what I returned to,” he said. “It was ex citing to see what could be done with language.” Born in Bowling Green, Ohio, Grabill received his BFA undergraduate degree from Wooster and went on to get an English degree from Colorado State University. According to Grabill he was influenced in writing by the mu sic he listened to during his-.col- lege career. This included artists like Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Photo by Chad Patteson Part-time English Instructor James Grabill won the Oregon Book Award in poetry for his book “Poem Rising out of the Earth and Standing up in Someone” Nov. 13. Joni Mitchell. “The lyrics in their songs were really evocative,” he said. Over the past five years Grabill has taught.a variety of composition classes at CCÇ. Not only does he work as a part-time instructor, he also does medical transcription three times a week Student access to Internet planned for winter term Dan Anderson Staff Writer The Streeter Hall computer lab will have increased Internet access, through NetScape and FIT software, after the Christmas Break, according to information supervisor Paul Rothi. “We’ll be working a lot dur ing the break to bring the Streeter Lab up,” Rothi explained. “Stu dents will have access come win ter term.” Streeter Lab computer tutors blamed the delay on logistical and financial concerns. “If we had the kind of Internet access,” that would allow students to explore cyberspace freely, “everyone would be, like, 'I wanna do the teen chat thing’ and never get any work done,” tutor PamJo Frasl complained. “We’d have a big long line of people.” “How could you control it?” tutor Karen Vancil asked rhetori cally. “How much would the whole thing cost?” Neither Vancil nor Frasl had learned that workers would put the Internet in place in the very near future. This confusion lends a touch Ci-------------------------- if we had the kind of Internet access... everyone would be, like, 7 wanna do the teen chat thing’... _______________ 9 9 of credence to rumors that have flown about the campus recently about the college’s conspicuous lack of Internet access. Instruc tors, administrators and the Clackamas Print have had “net- surfing” capabilities for many months. Some students, left in the cold, have blamed school admin- istration for the hold up, citing some kind of cover-up conspiracy. Many area high schools cur rently have better Internet access than Clackamas. This has made many students very angry. The coming Internet access will provide students with many educational benefits; students can admire art, literature, geography, mathematics, science, and gain hands-on computer science in an engaging, graphical way. , Students already have access to e-mail through WordPerfect, but cannot easily find e-mail ad dresses of people outside CCC. Certain individuals have used the school’s e-mail system to distrib ute the InterNet conspiracy ru mors. After Christmas Break, stu dents will have a new educational resource: cyberspace. at Good Samaritan Hospital. Hav ing done this for 15 years, he has worked for various clinics and hospitals.

Car stolen at Harmony Center Paul Ulmen Staff Writer “Never leave your car running with the keys in it,” says Dianna Shepherd, ad ministrative secretary for pub lic safety. Unfortunately this is just what Debbie Baker did at the Harmony Center last Thursday about 2 p.m. when her car was stolen. Baker, the director at the Harmony Center, says she parked by the curb in the back parking lot arid ran inside for just a moment to pick up some paperwork. At the time she didn’t see anyone suspicious hanging around outside. On the way in, she ran past two staff members who were standing by the door.
