INSIDE Couga back-t< aptures championships ♦ Clackamas wins their sixth title in eightyears, with four straight wins in NWAACC Tournament Cougar Outfielder Denise , Haselwood runs to first on the way to the team’s 2-1 win over Edmunds in the third game of the NWAACC Tournament. Brendon Neal Opinion Editor The Clackamas women’s softball team won four straight games in Spokane, Washington last Friday and Saturday to win the Northwest Athletic Associa tion of Community Colleges (NWAACC) championship tour nament. The championship is Clackamas’ second in a row and sixth in the last eight years'. After a three-hour rain delay, Clackamas started the tournament with a six inning 9-1 blowout over Bellevue CC, whom Clackamas did not play during the regular season. Head Coach Paul Fiskum noted however, that Bellevue was reported to be similar to Highline CC, against whom Clackamas had a 15 runs on 18 hits game in the regular season. Lisa Gander, with a regular season record of 11-1, pitched the win, striking out six players and giving up only one earned run on three hits while fac ing 18 batters. Cori Menzia started the Cou gar roaring in the third inning with two RBIs and a run to give the Cougars a three-point margin. Menzia went 2-2 with three RBIs and a triple. Alicia Scott added three runs and two RBIs on 2-3 hitting, and Robin Voil had two runs and two stolen bases. The Cougars beat the Spo kane Sasquatches 7-2 in the sec ond game on Friday with 11 base hits. Robin Voil started the game off for the Cougars with a run on an RBI by Holly Lorenz. The Cougars were able to jump out to a two-point lead in the first, while holding the Sasquatches to no Water leaks in Dye call for major repairs Amy Ku’uipo Hanson Managing Editor Moisture derived from water leaks in the Dye Learning Center has allowed for mold growth in the exterior walls of the building. According to Carol Patterson, associate dean of Plant Services, the problem is a continuation of preventative measures that did not work when mold was first discov ered last December. Four months passed without problems and no one assumed the extent of the dam age. The source of the leak has still not been determined. According to Kirk Pearson, director of Plant Ser vices, it could be the windows, the wall system itself, the ceiling joints or a combination of them. “All corrections will be more radical,” said Patterson referring to measures that will be taken this time around. Pearson said that moisture trapped between the siding and wood of the walls is a source of mold growth. He and others are meeting with air quality consultants, con tractors and other professionals to discuss possible causes and solu tions to the problem. Pearson met Monday with Gary Dirrim, dean of college ser vices and architects to discuss re pair options. Most of the solutions discussed were associated with re placing the siding. Included in these options were possibilities of adding masonry under the win dows, metal siding or installing an insulated finish system called EIFS. Right now restoration efforts are focused on the west wall where the problem was first identified. It is suspected that the problem is the same around the entire building. “We are looking at relocating some of the programs until this has been corrected,” said Patterson. “Our utmost concern is for the stu dents and staff that occupy the building.” The mold in the walls has caused a musty odor in the west end of the building. Steps are being taken to minimize the effects of the mold to occupants of the building. Anyone who suffers from al lergies, respiratory ailments or de pressed immune systems are more likely to experience adverse reac tions to the environment. Conditions are expected to improve as the restoration of the building progresses. Students with additional con cerns about and questions pertain ing to musty odors should contact Frieda Wheeler in the Dye Center at ext. 2462. base hits and no runs. Spokane came back in the third with a run, but Clackamas pulled away with a three-run home run by Lorenz in the same quarter to give Clackamas a 5-1 lead. Kriss Demos added a run on a home run and an RBI on 2-3 hitting. Brenda Rupple went 3-3 with two runs and three singles. Rupple also pitched for the Cou gars and gave up only two runs on six base hits, a walk and hit a Sasquatch in the back, while fac- ing 27 batters for the game. “I think, particularly against Spokane, which has some of the better pitching in the league, to get 11 hits off of them and a couple of home runs in that much is a good day’s work,” commented Assistant Coach Bob Rapp, on the Cougar bats during the first Spo kane game. “As long as we can continue swinging the bats as well as we did today (Friday) and play See VICTORY on page 7 College praised for quality of excellence Pamela Sirianni News Editor Clackamas receives positive feedback in accreditation evalua tion. Clackamas received a draft copy of A Full-Scale Evaluation Committee Report created by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges Commission on Col leges (NWASC). This report represents how closely the college comes to mod eling the ideal standard of a com munity college based on the cam pus visit by the Evaluation Com mittee in April. The draft has been edited for corrections and submitted to the Commission on Colleges for its decision about proper accredita tion for the college. John Keyser, president/clerk, has had the opportunity to read many reports of this nature about other schools as he is a commis sioner for the NWASC. “This is a very positive report compared to what most colleges receive,” said Keyser. “It’s gen erally very flattering and I think everyone at the college should feel very good about it. “I think we do have a better college than many other places that I’v£ visited so it’s a nice con firmation of that judgment,” added Keyser. In this report, the commen dations outnumber the recom mendations by more than three to one. “This is real unusual to have this many commendations. There are usually about as many recom mendations as commendations,” said Keyser. The college received com mendations for such things as: “fostering a culture of respect for all individuals; effective budget ing and expenditure systems; well-prepared, student centered faculty; participatory nature of its administration; and dedication and efforts devoted to scholarship and research,” according to the Evaluation Report. There were also many other commendations for different aspects of the college. The recommendations for the college seemed fair and reason able to Keyser. “I don’t think any of the rec ommendations are surprises. Most of these (recommendations) are ones we are working on or I think will help give us momentum See REPORT page 3
