That fact is very apparent for Dean of Instructional Ser vices Dian Connett. Connett is being considered by the Dallas, Texas-based Brookhaven Community College as their next president. Connett is one of five people currently being considered for the position, along with Dr. Patrick Leonard, Vice Chan cellor for Academic Services, Purdue University North Cen tral; Dr. Alice Villadsen, Vice President for Instruction, Central Piedmont Community College; Dr. Paul Williams, President, Penn Valley Community College and Dr. Stanley Witt, Dean of Instruction, Pima Community College. "I love Clackamas. There's no reason I have to go. What I'm looking for is a position that is going to be attractive to me, because it's going to provide some new challenge or a new area I can move into," said Connett. Last week, Madeline Consor, a student at Brookhaven and part of the Presidential Search Committee, visited Clackamas with several other committee members in an effort to get a feel for Clackamas and what Clackamas stu dents and staff thought of Connett. Consor said the committee members were trying to assess Connett's planning, budgeting and management styles along with her student relationships and decision making processes. Part of the committee's decision, which must be ratified by the chancellor of the Dallas County Community Col lege District, will be based on how the various colleges are currently ran and how the candidate contributes to their respective campuses. "Clackamas students and staff have been nice, coopera tive. Pleasant," said Consor. Brookhaven Faculty Representative John Williams meets with Clackamas Chair of Social Sciences Don Hartsock to discuss Hartsock's opinions and working relationship with Dian Connett. The meeting was part of a campus-wide interview process conducted by Brookhaven while they search fora new president Consor also stated that Brookhaven was in the final stages of the search for their next president and that their deci sion would likely be announced soon. Connett said that if she did get the job, she would be focusing more on strategic planning (as opposed to her more day to day role at Clackamas), and improvements in Brookhaven's student government and enrollment management. Connett has been working at Clackamas for 18 years, first as the Assistant Dean of Instruction and then as the Dean of Instructional Services. Campus starts recovery from WIP Big Al, Uncle Sam Gregory Forum is one of several buildings that are being reopened this spring after being closed due to the water intrusion problem. ROBERT SCHOENBERG Staff Writer After two years of major building renovation due to water intrusion dam ages, three campus building are about to re-open this month, while one has already re-opened in Wilsonville. Scheduling of meetings has begun in the most nearly finished building, the Gregory Forum, which has classroom space, conference rooms, faculty offices and a stage for presentations. A re-open ing presentation is planned for later in the term. The new Dean of College Services, Peter Angstadt said, “All the other buildings are on schedule, we got ev erybody back into Wilsonville about a week ago. Everything is looking good.” Modules now being used to house fac ulty and classrooms are to be moved off campus as soon as they are vacated. Angstadt added, “We are going to make a proposal to the college to keep two modules.” He hopes to use the mod ules for media services and classrooms. In Randall 101, now currently used as cl6assroom space, Associated Student Government is regaining their game room. According to Jacob Boenisch, ASG president, the game room will have pool tables, a foosball table and video arcades for students. Boenisch said, “Student government is excited to get the game room back. In working with student activities we hope to run the service responsibly and efficiently. A recreation area is impor tant for students to relax and create a sense of community.” About the third week of April the shelves for the books will go up in the Dye Learning Center. The Library will be closed for a week, excepting some electronic research sources, including a test of several full text data services ongoing for the spring term. Library personnel will move what is in the Mod ules over to the Dye Learning center during that week. The moving of books out of storage will take the rest of the spring term and all of summer term to accomplish. “At that point then, we will be bring ing the rest of the books over from stor age and get them set up,” said Librar ian Shannon Stiles. As classrooms and faculty are relo cated in the buildings, the space opened up in the other buildings such as Barlow and Mcloiighlin Hall can be re-occu pied by the former tenants from before the construction began. to visit Clackamas LAURA ARMSTRONG Staff Writer On April 15 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. the Community Center and Fireside Lounge will be hosting companies and organizations for Community Fair Day. The organizations will have the opportunity to make themselves known and to meet students on campus. Army ROTC Captain Cohn is looking forward to being at Clackamas. “What I’m hoping is to bring an awareness of the Army ROTC to the freshman and sophomore classes,” Cohn said. “We have up to $16,000 per year in scholarships for stu dents with good grades.” The deadline to turn in applica tions for both freshman and sophomore scholarships is still open, according to Cohn. Along with military organizations like the Oregon Na tional Guard, Navy Reserve Recruiting, US Army and the US Marine Corps, independent companies will also attend. Among these are Big Al’s Lollipops, Oregon Mint, DK Fam ily Learning Books, Jehovah’s Witnesses and various others. Independent owner of Big Al’s Lollipops Allan Miller Jr. will be selling lollipops in a variety of 30 different fla vors. Favorites include Blue Hawaii, Cotton Candy, and Bubblegum, for under one dollar each. Miller, who makes the lollipops in his home has refined the art of lollipop making. Of the many visitors to Clackamas, this one will not be recruiting. Community Fairs only occur once a year, according to Michelle Waggoner of Student Activities at Clackamas. This is an opportunity for both students and faculty at Clackamas to recognize and meet many people in the Port land metro area.
