The forum was designed to an
swer and discuss the recent con
troversy swirling on and off cam
pus about the art displayed at the
Pauling Gallery during its Gene

Controversy about art is not new,
but it poured into Clackamas after

of Flores’ mixed media drawing
titled “Two Popes Boinking.”
The controversy was serious
enough for True to remove the
piece from the exhibit, to the lobby

Associated Student Government
gears up to educate community and
college about the bond measure
The ASG is campaigning to in
form Clackamas students and the
community about the $47 million
school bond measure, set for ap
proval May 16, and to get students
registered to vote.
Three committees have been
formed: a fact committee, an events
committee, and a marketing commit
tee.
The fact committee members
provide statistics and facts about
the bond and explain to students
and departments how the bond
will benefit them.
The events committee is plan
ning an assembly that will inform
students about the bond; it will
be similar to the pep rally held
fall term.
The marketing committee will
be calling community residents,
and mailing postcards, to make
sure people in the community are
informed about the bond mea
sure.
According to James Gould, ASG
president, the student represen
tatives are also trying to get stu
dents who are of age registered
to vote. They will be offering voter
registration on campus.
“The more people we have regis
tered to vote, the more people we
inform about the bond,” said Gould.
“This is an opportunity for stu
dents of the school to come to
gether to make a difference bn cam
pus by voting .„by being active
members of the political world,” said
Paul Creighton, ASG vice president.
“I think that the students can di
rectly benefit by getting involved
in politics, and educating them
selves on the ballot measures.”
Students who wish to help pass
the bond measure are invited to vol
unteer. Call ASG at ext. 2477.

“I defend academic and artistic
freedom,” wrote King. “But I ques
tion the wisdom of the college ex
hibiting such a blatant piece of
anti-Catholic propaganda.”
“I worry that the college’s exhi
bition of this work will be taken as
justifying hate speech against
Catholics,” King added.
Bill Briare, Clackamas social sci
ence instructor, moderated the fo
rum. Bill Zuelke, chair of Clacka
mas’ counseling and career plan
ning department, and Cheryl Snow,
director of the Arts Alliance of
Clackamas County, represented
diverse views in the controversy.
Issues debated were artistic in
tent versus spectator interpreta
tion; academic freedom; and con
troversial art and its placement.
Stewart King was expected to
attend, along with other interested
citizens, students, instructors and
artists, including some who partici-
pated by telephone.
