Hanson Managing Editor Oregon Senatorial Candidate Harry Lonsdale spoke to a crowd of about 40 people at Clackamas last Friday afternoon. Lonsdale discussed his stand on important issues facing Or egon including campaign finance reform, environmental protection, balancing the budget, health care security and many others. As an example of the need to reform campaign financing Lonsdale said, “One zip code in the upper eastside of Manhattan, contributes more money to mem bers of Congress running for elec tion or for reelection than all the people in each of 22 states ...They’re simply buying access, they’re buying influence, and ul timately buying votes. If you don’t believe that votes can be bought and sold read Bob Packwood’s diaries. “I’m not saying that they’re all crooks, but we have a very cor- Task force formed for night classes ChadPatteson Editor-in-Chief Night students concerned with being “in-touch” with daytime campus activities now have a stronger voice, thanks to the efforts of a newly cre ated task force. Last Wednesday, students, staff, instructors and other members of the community met to discuss the concerns of night students. Subjects of in terest included: library hours, safety issues, closure of school offices, night class availability and event information. The task force will meet again on March 6 at 5:30 in CC127 to report on the progress made addressing these issues. Meetings are open to the public. rupt system in this country...I can’t change it, you can’t change it, but the members of Congress including the Oregon delegation can change it at will, but they don’t because that’s how they got there and that’s how they intend to stay there.” In his campaign, Lonsdale is already complying with Measures 6 and 9, by not accepting out of state money, no PAC (Political Action Committee) money and no contributions over $500. In regard to education spend ing as it relates to the military, Lonsdale believes that something must be done to lessen the effects of high college costs. “I’m a big fan of education, I love AmeriCorp. AmeriCorp is too small in my opinion. It is one of the best things that Clinton ever did,” said Lbnsdale. “Students graduate from college $25-50,000 in debt. That’s wrong. It certainly isn’t the way that I finished col lege years ago. You either went Photo by Lora Wahrgren Oregon Senatorial Candidate, Harry Lonsdale, addressed important issues at Clackamas last Friday. on scholarship or you paid your way and the cost of college was much, much less than it is now. I like Clinton’s plan for more aid to education.” Lonsdale agrees with Sena tor Ron Wyden’s proposal to make college tuition tax deductible. “We somehow have to get more kids through college... young people today have a whole lot of debt laid on them; some people are in debt for 10 years,” said Lonsdale. Members of the audience showed concern for lack of mili tary benefits for veterans, balanc ing the budget, the role of the United States in keeping world peace, as well as a telecommuni cations bill to rate and regulate TV and Internet. ‘Jesus 2000’ lands at Clackamas Damon Fouts, Staff Writer & Jon Roberts, Feature Editor Jesus may turn two millen nia this year, so CCC is joining the national symposium “Jesus at 2000” this weekend to mark His potential and unprecedented birth year.

Borg, a professor I— of Religion and Culture at OSU, will join scholars from Harvard, DePaul, Columbia and Syracuse Universities and Claremont Graduate School in the telecon ference. According to a brochure cre ated by the Trinity Institute which is sponsoring the event, ‘“Jesus at 2000’ will be the first national symposium commemorating the 2000th anniversary of the birth of Jesus, who was born no later than 4 B.C.” The possibility that Christ was born four years B.C.
