There is
a multitude of
choices each of us must make in
life, some make little difference in
our daily existence while others
lead to a devasting and final con
clusion. Such is the case of Steve
Noble, 19-year- old Clackamas stu
dent.
Noble died last Monday
night in an alcohol-related acci
dent on McLoughlin Boulevard in
Milwaukie. He was the driver of
the vehicle. Noble, along with pas
senger Joshua O’Leary, was pro
nounced dead at the scene.
Noble was in the process of
completing requirements in the
college’s high school diploma pro
gram.
“He was friendly and open.
He was close to the other students
in the program. He had a lot of posi
tive things going for him,” said
Kathy Yamamura, his English and
classmates. Yamamura noted the
funeral was a way for the students
to say goodbye to their friend and
helped provide closure.

volunteer efforts went above and
beyond the call during a recent

EDITORIAL
Health care going to pot

Editor-in-Chief
As a reporter, I am always
curious why people do the
things they do or think the way
they think.
This week I would like to in
troduce a subject that was a
heated debate on Sunday
night’s Town Hall on KATU,
Channel 2.1 want to hear where
our readers stand on the legal
ization of marijuana.
There are many sides to this
issue, legal and moral alike. This
makes the “right” answers all
How do we decide who is
right or who is entitled to certain
privileges in our society? Where
do we draw the line on each
other’s “acceptable” behavior?
Currently, a petition drive to
collect signatures is underway to
get the issue on the next ballot.
If that happens Oregonians will
once again hold a smoking gun
in their hands.
In order to help a few, who
say they benefit from the medical
use of marijuana, how many
other members in our state will
actually be hurt by it?
This country has spent mil
lions of dollars fighting a drug
war. Are we giving up now? Just
because our neighbors to the
south approved the use of mari
juana for medicinal purposes, will
we follow suit?
I would like to know what you
think. Please send your re
sponses to The Print via e-mail
or drop them off in Barlow 104.
This is your chance to have your
voice heard.
