Wednesday, October 29,1997 School entrance suggests poor educational facility CHRISTINA MUELLER Co-Editor-in-Chief I pay enough tuition for the school to purchase stencils for making more attractive signs. ChristinaMueller Co-Edi tor-in-Chief Would you rather eat at a restaurant with chipping paint, broken chairs and: stained curtains or at a restaurant with fresh paint, sound chairs and clean cur tains? Our campus is beautiful, as most are. The entrances to schools should reflect their prestige as well as the quality of education they provide. At one time Clackamas had that kind of entrance. From Highway 213 and Beavercreek road I see rusty white poles flying tattered flags. This is not the way I want my school represented. How much could it cost to repaint the poles? If cost is an issue I’m sure a local paint store would donate a few gallons of paint. Further into the college we are greeted with a wooden sign, tljat reads “Shipping ^Receiving.” No offense, but it looks like it was< drawn by a third grader, and the last dme I checked that was not tHb^sym- bol^for “and.” I could understand^ the sign was temporary*; but it’s been there for two months. * I pay enough tuition for the school to purchase stencils for making more attractive signs. I understand that public education , doesn’t always get the best funding, but I want to enter the campus and see something pleasing to the eye or see nothing at all. If there isn’t staff to improve our school’s appearance, I’m sure we can arrange a student workday. Volunteer students or clubs can get together on a Saturday for school improvement. I think students would rather do it them selves than wait for someone else to do it. Imagine if you were the owner of a respected business. Would you rather hire a well-dressed applicant for your re ceptionist or a person with dirty, tom Students advised to vote wisely I find it an honor and a privilege to vote. Jacob Boenisch ASG President On November 4, registered voters, can vote on the upcoming initiatives. This does not mean that if you qualify to vote you should go about the pro cess blindly without doing any re search. You should never vote for voting’s sake; you need to go beyond reading the entire voting pamphlet, lis tening to debates and watching ads on TV. Examine what measures 51 and 52 mean to you. Ask the opinion of your friends and family and use what you gather as information to help form your own views on the subject. Voting is the duty of every eligible participant in the democratic process. Don’t let this system overwhelm you. Don’t get turned off by the politics involved. Get educated, formulate your own ideas and take control of this process that was set up for you. One of my professors says, “You are the kings here.” If we expect things to get better in America,"we must get involved in the vehicle that takes us there. I find it an honor and a privilege to vote. On No vember 4,1 hope that you will join me and the thousands of other Oregonians that vote for what they know is right, not what someone has dictated to them. Jacob Boenisch ASG President Authors' night: Feminism in sports Continued from Page 1 the New York Times on how she fell in love with boxing and that she was the only female fighter. “Are women the weaker sex?” Denfield asks. She cited the fact that men are on average two-thirds stron ger than women and talked about body structure and hormones. She then threw out a philosophical question: “How much of women’s weakness at tributes to being told that they can’t?” Fall term’s Authors’ Night drew a fairly large crowd, and the audience asked many questions regarding the politics of women in sports. Do men and women have an entirely different point of view on sports? “Male athletes don’t talk about the relationships other than being a team,” Karbo said. “Women in sports have feminine relationships with each other on an emotional level as well (as being a team).” “Men don’t seem to allowed to show that other side of the sporting expert ence,” Kessler added. “Women getting to be paid to write about sports is new!” Denfield joked.
