2 __________ The Clackamas Print t | Wednesday, January 24,1996 W- * inion ¥ -Letter to the Editor-------- ---------- Math help available in Streeter TUTORS from page 1 Staff member shares concerns about article In reading the January 17, 1996 edition of the Clackamas Print, I noticed that comments and information about the Internet at CCC have been mis interpreted. In the article “Promised Net access arrives at Clackamas,” it is stated in ref erence to using the Internet in course work that, “At this time, however, CCC does not have the proper amount of resources to support such heavy use of the Internet.” I’m assuming that resources is meant to mean the ability of the college’s connec tion to the Internet to handle a given amount of network activ ity. At present, the average load on our Internet link is 2%. This load will be monitored on a regu lar basis to determine if the re source is sufficient to handle the network activity at CCC. The article also states that “Other than a few short shut downs of CCC’s internal network, due to network overload,...” The network has not been shut down due to network overload. The net work outages were planned in or der to perform the necessary work to bring the Streeter lab on line. I also noticed that the author chose to comment on the privacy and security of the network. It is important that people understand Students learn teamwork EXPAND from page 1 “We are able to place most of our students after one year of training,” Laugle said. Laugle makes one point clear. Few people in the indus try work one on one with ma chine tools. Everything has be come a team or work cell effort. Right now, the manual ma chine toolists are the highest in demand in Clackamas County. In the next few years, however, computerized machine tools are expected to be the new high de mand area in manufacturing.

Cash prizes and certificates will be awarded for first, second, and third place winners in each category. erally about Garvison’s demands, Keyser said, “I don’t have a prob lem with (Garvison) or any other student asking for this, especially if there’s been some wrongdoing or abuse he’s trying to correct.” However, he does question the student’s methods, and so does the board, he says. “He has a reluctance to go about problem solving in a con ventional way, and the board’s having trouble responding,” Keyser said, adding that Garvison’s demeanor during his testimony was “professional.” According to Keyser and meeting transcripts of various board member responses to Garvison’s questions, the conven tional way would have been for Garvison to present his requests to the college president, then ap proach the board if he felt Keyser was unresponsive. Meeting transcripts show that board member Larry Wright told Garvison the board gave him a procedure to follow at the board meeting in December which Garvison attended. Wright asked why he hadn’t followed that pro cedure. Specifically, Wright asked why Garvison hadn’t responded to a letter Keyser sent the student regarding concerns Garvison raised at the December meeting. Garvison answered, accord ing to the transcripts, “Because I feel that I am not here to serve the Board. The Board is here to serve the community which I am a part of. So I felt that would not help with my questions.” Keyser told the Print that he made several attempts to contact Garvison after the December meeting, including the letter Wright mentioned, giving the stu dent his and Rothi’s home tele phone numbers and calling Garvison at home. Keyser said that his letter “...suggested in a tone that was as accommodating as possible, that I’d link him up with people at the college that were closer to the issues than I was...” But Keyser’s efforts to contact Garvison failed. According to meeting tran scripts, near the end of his testi mony Garvison asked how Keyser, Rothi and the board got his unlisted telephone number. Wright called Garvison’s question out of line and inappropriate, and The Clackamas Print Staff Editor-in-Chief: Chad Patteson (Ext. 2576) Managing Editor: Amy K.

CCC can not control who plugs into the Internet outside of the col lege.

But, if students are doing their home work in the lab, they could get help right away. This would aid in getting homework done quicker and with a better under standing of the assignment. Also, the book doesn’t usually answer questions. But someone in your study group might understand the problem and can share that knowledge with others. Even if no one in the group understands, a tutor is available to assist.” The lab hours vary each term.

' ' suggested Garvison contact Keyser about that matter. Garvison then claimed that Clackamas Print Advisor Linda Vogt suggested students be graded down for comments that are made. He said Vogt was referring to comments he’d “...sent to differ ent people at the college,” accord ing to the transcripts. Wright responded, “I am go ing to tell you again that this ques tion is inappropriate in this forum. If the questions go any further, then I will ask for removal of you from that position where you were sitting.” Soon after that Garvison handed out his list of requests, and his testimony ended shortly there after. Regarding Garvison’s un listed telephone number, Keyser stated later he got it from Garvison’s admissions applica tion. There’s a space on the ap plication where the applicant can indicate they don’t want the col lege calling, Keyser said, adding that Garvison didn’t mark that space on his application. As to the comment attributed to Vogt, she denied ever making it, stating, “That’s a statement I didn’t make and I wouldn’t make, and I’m frustrated that John Garvison is misrepresenting me to the college board and the col lege community. “Of course I support a student’s right to free speech just as I support a student free press. But there’s responsibility that goes with that.” Keyser said “I think that was an inaccurate judgement he made,” referring to the comment Garvison alleged Vogt made. Regarding Garvison’s re quest for the Clackamas Print’s e-mail, Vogt said, “I think it’s im portant that students using e-mail take the same responsibility that student journalists do— that is, that their messages not contain items that are libelous or obscene. If people choose to ignore those guidelines, then they have to face the consequences.” Editor’s Note— At the time of publication,Garvison had not responded to e-mail requests for comment.
