cency (in various forms of me
dia communication) that has
wearied these people.
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.

Western Oregon Open

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.
