LRC Director Cyndi Andrews said of the move, "It was like gathering all your relatives together and moving all of their things five times, moving each item from shelves and returning them all to the same shelves in the same order. We are all very happy with the way it it is now." Shelbi Wescott studies in the re-opened library. AMY PARRISH> Clackamas Print Library emerges after reconstruction ROBERT SCHOENBERG Editor-in-Chief The library in the Dye Learning Center is open again after major re construction due to water intrusion problems that developed almost three years ago. Because of limited space, only about a fourth of the library’s books were used in the temporary location in a number of modular buildings brought to the campus while recon struction was progressing. Over the sumiper, library staff moved 14,000 books from these temporary modules and another 36,000 books and magazines in boxes back to the Dye Learning Center. “It is wonderful to be back in this building, wonderful for the staff, faculty and the students. Books are meant to be on shelves. An inaccessible book is a waste of money,’’said Cyndi Andrews, Learning Resource Center Direc tor, who is in charge of the library. She said all the library’s previ ous resources are now available as well as some new ones like EBSCO’s Academic Search in Fulltext, a magazine and journal article database available not only at the library but also on the internet for students and faculty. New ASG officer visits Washington, D.C. for first time Christine Reed, a freshman at Clackamas, took a trip to Washing ton DC two weeks ago that uncov ered many opportunities for her as Legislative Officer for Associated Student Government. With David Ledoux, ASG Presi dent, and Mindy Brown, High School Relations Coordinator, Reed spent Sept. 16-20 at our nation’s capital. Their trip was made in as sociation with the Committee for Education Foundation. While she was in DC, Reed kept a journal of her activities and those who in spired her. Here are some high lights from the chronicles of her trip. Sept.17: “ Today starts the begin ning of my first day in Washington DC. First, we were on our way to the National Education Association Building for our morning confer ences. At the NEA building we at tended a seminar called, ‘The Squeeze on Education.’ The semi nar was filled with many key speakers from the Congress. The most amazing part of the seminar was the fact that it was about edu cation, and David and I were the only students present. I couldn’t believe that more students weren’t there for such an important meet ing. There were about 200-300 people who attended and all of them seemed to be over the age of 30. On the other hand, though, it was really encouraging that adults from another generation were tak ing a stand in support of education. “After the seminar, the three of uS headed towards the Senate and House Buildings. We were deliv ering informational letters asking them to participate in the Ameri can Student Association of Com munity Colleges next March... .We spoke to Congresswoman Darlene Hooley.. .she discussed with us her See Vfc/t page 6 To learn how to access this re source, she said, there would be instructional classes offered throughout October. The damage to the buildings was the result of water intrusion beneath the exterior walls, which rotted the wood framing of the buildings. While under construc tion the buildings were closed for use by the college and wrapped in protective covers. According to Peter Angstadt, Dean of College Services, the building re-construction has “met all expectations.” The other buildings involved in the re-construction, Gregory Fo rum and Streeter Hall, have also opened up again, and one building at the Wilsonville campus opened up last spring. Since the buildings have opened, most departments that were relo cated throughout the campus dur ing the reconstruction have relo cated yet again as new space has opened up. For two years office space was tight around campus with many of the faculty doubling up in cramped quarters. The larger building now allows comfortable space that was miss ing in the modules; there is now a lounge area and reading areas with couches to sit on. Along with the library, the for eign language lab in Dye has also reopened with a full complement of services, classroom space and computers for students. The library staff is pleased to be back in the building after working for two years under very limiting conditions. Leslie Ma son, a part-time circulation staff member said that she was glad to finally be able to accommo date more students with more books. “Students are more willing to come over here. I think they were scared away when we were in the modules,” she said. State candidates speak to students at Gregory Forum State candidates from Oregon running for office this Fall have been brought to the CCC cam pus for three days this week to raise voter awareness.
