INT Clackamas Community College Wednesday, January 21, 1998 Volume XXXI, Issue 9 Oregon City, Oregon Angstadt hired as Dean of College Services BRAD ZIMMERMAN Co-Editor-in-Chief Clackamas' new Dean of College Services, Peter Angstadt, officially started his job at Clackamas Jan. 5. Angstadt, originally from Colorado, has a bachelor's de gree in Biological Sciences, a master's degree in Educa tion and an MBA with an emphasis in Information Sys tems from Colorado State University. However, Angstadt did not immediately get to put his education to use. During high school and throughout his college years, Angstadt was a whitewater rafting guide. After college, Angstadt and a friend opened a whitewater rafting business. "We ran trips all through the western United States. We did that for a number of years but as I started settling down and getting married, I realized that it's so contingent upon the weather." In 1989 Angstadt had been working for Idaho State Uni versity in Pocatello for three years when he decided to run for city mayor. "There was a lot of turmoil going on in city govern ment and community-wise. They were having prob lems. So, what I decided to do was run for mayor... and won." When Angstadt had originally campaigned he had told the residents of Pocatello that if he was reelected he would limit his stay in office to only two terms (eight years total) because he wasn't interested in a career in politics. While in office, Angstadt said he made jobs and the economy of Pocatello his main concern. "I had a big focus on good-paying jobs so if people wanted to stay in the area, they could. Jobs for students so they could work part-time and go to school. Economic devel opment was the main concern." When asked how being mayor might have prepared him for his new job at Clackamas, Angstadt said that there are a lot of similarities between local government and com munity colleges. "You can walk in to the Oregon City mayor's office and ask to see the mayor and then see him. It's the same thing with community colleges. It's closest to the needs of stu dents." Eight years and two terms in office later, Angstadt started applying for various jobs at colleges and universities around the country. Now that Angstadt is officially at Clackamas he has sev eral problems he's already starting to deal with. "The big issues now are the buildings that are being re paired and getting those repaired on schedule, and getting classes and folks moved back as soon as we can." Angstadt's long term vision for Clackamas is simply to make it easier for potential students to get an education. "I think that will take changing a lot of the long-term thinking of people. Right now you have all these property tax initiatives ...Paying taxes is part of being in society and a part of a community. As long as that money is being used wisely, so much the better." Peter Angstadt, Clackamas' new Dean of College Services, was officially hired on Jan. 5. Angstadt was formerly mayor of Pocatello, ID. CCC closes due to storm FRC shuts down ROBERT SCHOENBERG Staff Writer The Family Resource Center closed down after water damage was found in siding by an employee before win ter break. “We had initially done air quality testing and found no problem there; [but] further testing by Western Build ing Diagnostics verifies inner wall damage,” said Clackamas spokesperson Dan McCue. Due to extensive water intrusion problems in three other buildings on campus, it was feared again another building would be plagued by high spòre counts. Gregory Forum, the Dye Learning Center and Streeter Hall all suffered damage to exterior walls and interior wood framing from water intrusion and are now under extensive reconstruction. The FRC, however, was built at a different time. To be on the safe side, FRC programs and personnel were moved to other locations until the problem is taken care of. “We will keep people out during the reconstruction phase so that we can get it over with quicker,” said McCue. See FRC, page 3 One of the many victims of the recent storms, this oak tree at the Harmony campus building split in half. Plant services had the fallen trees cleared away last weekend. MIKE GARCIA Copy Editor The stormy weather that has been causing problems all over the country finally touched down in the Portland area last week, causing millions of dollars in damage. The college was not spared in the ice storm. School was cancelled Jan. 12-13. Most of Portland had to deal with a few inches of snow. The Oregon City area was able to escape this, but got more than its share of ice. Freezing rain fell intermittently for two days, giving the landscape a glassy coating. Driveways and streets were slick, mak ing travel impossible for most people. Most of the steep streets separating upper Oregon City from downtown were closed. Even though the campus was not hit too hard, many areas in which students live were. Opening school even on Tuesday, as the thaw began, would have been impractical because many students and instructors still had a lot of ice to deal with. Oregon City was in a state of emer gency for a time because of several See Storm, page 3 Í ____ -r-______ ___ College Transfer Day Monday, Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Randall lobby.
