world with the help of several new
classes.

will be teaching a new cluster of
courses on geographical knowl

According to Kheirabadi,
“Students will learn that each re
gion has a distinct character, but
that global processes bind all re
gions together into an interdepen
dent web.
“Students will also become
familiar with major contemporary
global issues and international
conflicts such as problems of
world food supply, global environ
mental problems, population
growth and global resources, as
well as cultural differences.”
The cluster of new courses
includes GEOG120-World Geog
raphy:. Introduction, GEOG121-
People and Places: Developing
World, and GEOG122-People
and Places: Developing World.
Also, GEOG280-Geography
Work Experience will be avail
able.

Computer Applications Special
ist, and Network Operations/Mi-
crocomputer Specialist. Both pro
grams offer a one year certificate
or a two year Associate of Ap
plied Science Degree (pending
state approval).
Both programs have been de
signed to teach technology, soft
ware and computer related skills.
Students entering this pro
gram need to register for CS120-
Survey of Computing, WR101-
Communications Skills, CS225-
Computer Support, SP100-
Speech and either BA101-Intro to
Business or MFG130-Basic Elec

Drinking and driving #1 killer
of teenagers in America
Laney Fouse
Copy Editor
According to statistics from
the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, about two
out of every five Americans will
be involved in an alcohol-related
, crash during their lifetime.
Earlier this month, a 21-
year-old Clackamas Community
College student was killed in an
alcohol-related traffic accident.
The one-vehicle wreck on S.W.
Stafford Road also claimed the life
of another passenger. The
underaged driver, whose blood al
cohol level is still being deter
mined, survived.
This accident is a grim re
minder of what could happen
when someone chooses to drink
and drive, and perhaps even
worse is to make the wrong choice
and ride with someone who has
been drinking.
Traffic fatalities occuring in
1993 totaled 40,115. Of these
deaths, an estimated 17,461 per
sons were killed in crashes where
alcohol was present. These deaths
represent 43.5 percent of the to
tal fatalities, averaging one injury
every 33 seconds.
The Transportation Safety
Section of the Department of
Transportation (TSSDT) lists
drinking and driving as the num
ber one killer of teenagers in
America. Drivers between the
ages of 15-20 make up 24 percent
of the traffic fatalities where blood
alcohol content (BAC) was .10 or
higher.
“Fatal accidents, occuring in
the 15-19 age bracket, in Clacka
mas County alone averaged 16.97
percent between 1991 and 1993,”
said Youth Program Manager
Walt McCallister of the TSSDT.
That means 484 of the 2,854 li
censed drivers between the ages
of 15-19 in this county died in a
traffic accident.
According to McCallister,
the odds are pretty good that an
underage driver will get caught if
they drink and drive.
Although alcohol plays a
major factor in traffic deaths for
teenagers, the biggest bulk of ac
cidents for this age group occurs
during the hours of noon and 6
p.m. when young drivers are just
cruising around.
During graduation time, the
death toll seems to climb for
young drivers. In a study done
by TSSDT, the month of July is
actually when fatalities peak.
“People probably notice it
more around graduation time be
cause it gets more media cover
age
during June,” said
McCallister.
Traffic investigators list the
following as the top reasons for
driver fatalities: alcohol, speeding
and failure to maintain lane posi
tion.
MADD (Mothers Against
Drunk Drivers) has played a lead
ing role in helping to enact anti
drunk driving laws nationwide.
Several states, including Oregon,
have lowered the legal blood al
cohol content limit down to .08
percent for adults and a “zero tol
erance” for those under 21.
Zero tolerance means you
will automatically lose your li
cense for at least 90 days if your
BAC is more than .00. Failure to
submit to a breath test means
you’ll lose your license for at least
one year.
These penalities pale in com
parison when you think of the
many lives lost each day on our
highways at the hands of a drunk
driver.
According to the Oregon Traf
fic Safety Commission, “If you
drink and drive, the least you’ll lose
is your license. Guaranteed.”

EIFS may be cause of
moisture build up in walls
RELOCATION from page 1
Pearson, who has been
reading and researching EIFS
diligently, spoke with Glen
Davis, an engineer in
Wilmington, North Carolina,
last Friday.
“Out of 200 homes in
spected in the last year, 97%
have had serious failure,”
Pearson said.-
In an article published in
The Oregonian on February 4,
1996 a warning in response to
the North Carolina incident was
issued by the Home Builders
Association of Metropolitan
Portland (HBAMP). It was ex
pressed that the source of the
problem may not be the mate
rials but the installation.
“The problem has been
found in various parts of the
country, including locally,” said
Mike Bercutt, owner of Opus
Homes and a member of the
HBAMP. “It doesn’t mean that
stucco is bad. It’s a workman
ship issue.”
Built in 1992, Dye Learn
ing Center is not the only build
ing built with EIFS.
Streeter Hall, housing the
Math, Computer Science and
English Departments, was built
in 1991 using EIFS. The Gre
gory Forum, on campus, and the
Oregon Advanced Technology
Center (OATC) in Wilsonville
were also built in 1992. The Fo
rum was built under the same
general contractor and same in
staller as the Dye Center.
Pearson said they are trying
to work with Horizon Engineer
ing to get a moisture reading on
the walls to estimate the extent
of the damage.
“There’s not a lot of infor
mation as to what others have
done,” said Pearson. “ I know
we’re not the first”
