My opinion: I believe this “V-Chip,” if it ever exists (and some have told me it isn’t long in coming), may be a step in the right direction - if used with discretion. (I oftentimes say anything is good with a little discretion and a little re sponsibility in the outcome, but it is true.) I myself have grown sick and tired of shows that use sex as either a ratings grabber or as a lot of the plot (“Melrose Place” being one of the most notorious of such shows). Violence is pretty much overkill (pardon the pun). The profanities, I have no problem with, as most of the time they come up, they are muted out or bleeped out. But, when all is said and done, there are still some things by which controls can not easily overcome, such as bad moral examples in vari ous other aspects of life and the glorification of stupidity (most notoriously “Beavis and Butthead”). At that point, the viewer is left to make his/her own judgment call. The V-Chip is by no means perfect, but it is a start ing point on which parents can, with the proper discre tion, reclaim their children from at least one of the elec tronic babysitters.

Master Card, Discover, accepted Western Oregon Open Andrew Beck Staff Writer The Clackamas Community College Coed Track Team com peted at the Western Oregon Open held at Western Oregon State College (WOSC) last Sat urday, April 27. The Western Oregon Open was an non-scoring team track meet for local Northwest state and community colleges. Some of the four-year colleges entered in the track meet were Univer sity of Oregon, Oregon State University and Linfield College. Chemekata, Mt. Hood, Clark and Lane joined Clackamas, among others, in representing local community colleges at the West ern Oregon Open. “We did really well. It was our best meet of the year so far,” said Clackamas Track Member Scot Campbell. The Clackamas Cougars had many athletes achieve high marks in several events despite the tough competition. On the men’s team two of the top indi vidual placers in the steeplechase run were Ryan Burck and Jon Gotchall. Burck placed second with a time 9 minutes 53.76 sec onds. Gotchall finished tenth with a run of 10:06.88 seconds. Both times were personal records. Cougar Evan Goin placed fourth in the men’s 5000 meter run with a time of 15:45.81 seconds. Another top finisher on the men’s team was Jim Hagemann who threw for a personal best in the javelin event. The mark of 190 feet 5 inches was also fourth on Clackamas’ all-time record for the men’s jav elin throw. “With the season’s improve ments we’re on schedule to have a very good NWAACC (North West Association of Athletic Community Colleges) champi onship and compete well against the other community colleges,” said Clackamas Assistant Track Coach Jack Kegg. Clackamas had several plac ers from the women’s team as well. Cougar Erica Sloan set an all-time school record in the women’s hammer throw with a toss of 138’ 1”. The mark gave Sloan a third place finish in the event. The Cougar women’s 400 meter relay team finished third with a time of 49.94 seconds, sixth best in Clackamas’ all-time record book. The anchor runner for the women’s 400 meter relay team, Melissa Abramson, competed in the NWAACC Heptathlong/De- cathlon in Spokane this week. Also finishing with high marks in the Western Oregon Open for Clackamas was Wanjeria Wash ington. Washington placed third in the women’s 400 meter hurdles with a time of 1:06.22 seconds, a personal record. The mark ranked ninth in all-time Clackamas history for that event. The Cougars’ next event is the Clackamas Invitational at CCC this Saturday, May 4. Why Did He Do It? i i^TViree reasons mainly: first, they have night JL and weekend classes so I can get my degree while working full time. Plus, there’s a low ratio of students to teachers so you get good instruction, and lastly, I like the atmosphere here.
