School entrance suggests poor educational facility

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.

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.

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.
