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

“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.

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

Winter term heralds the an
nual Clackamas Community
College Writers’ Contest, spon
sored by the Writers’ Club.
The contest is open to any
student who has attended
Clackamas over the past year.
The categories this year are
poetry, fiction and non-fiction.
Contestants can submit up
to three poems and one piece of
fiction and non-fiction. This
year there will be no word limit.
On each submitted work,
contestants should have their
the background information be

ministrative regulations. CCC
can not control who plugs into
the Internet outside of the col
lege. It is possible that someone,
somewhere else in the world
could have an opportunity and
access to eavesdrop or capture a
message sent over the Internet.
The same activity is possible
within the college, but steps
have been taken to limit the op
portunity and access necessary
to perform such eavesdropping.
gets stuck working a problem
which can be frustrating. 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.
Currently they are Monday, Tues

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.
