This will allow pro grams and productions to be inte grated—with involvement by all the departments and room for the community to participate as stu dents or spectators. Slusarenko envisions partner ships with organizations such as Clackamas County Arts Alliance to bring local and national artists to the community; with the NW Film Center for film festivals at Clacka mas rather than only downtown; with businesses using the facilities for conferences; with cities and schools holding symposiums in every area of creative art, includ ing performances open to the pub lic. The possibilities are endless, Slusarenko believes, and will be gin with passage of the bond in May. Music is housed on the top floor of Randall Hall with three class rooms accessible only by crossing the rehearsal hall—which is 10 feet high rather than 20’ that is consid ered necessary for good acoustics. When rehearsals are in progress, offices are unusable. With only 8x10 inch speakers and no listening library, an appre ciation of music is difficult to teach, according to instructors. Kay Slusarenko, associate dean for arts, humanities and social sci ence, came to Clackamas less than two years ago and found the the ater, art and music departments comparable to those she took over at Marylhurst College 23 years ago. Slusarenko believes a commu nity college should be the center of the arts for the entire district it serves—a core where students and community may have the best En glish, music, theater and art edu Face of athletics would change cation, performances and exhibi tions; and may be made aware of With the building of the new fa all the other arts available through cility a short distance from the out the district.

The above map shows proposed locations of new building and new softball and soccer fields. are located in Randall Hall, the bleachers are rundown and the parking would only become tighter if a new building were added with out additional parking being made available. While the current field has been good to the Cougars, Fiskum has no problems if millions of tons of concrete and brick are laid right on top of homeplate. “Ever since we’ve played on this field,” noted Fiskum, “we’ve been working on it non-stop. It’s never been finished.” Last November, Clackamas pro duced a booklet named the master JOHN THORBURN / Clackamas Print If the bond passes, the softball field (above) will be moved to a location beyond the score board (below.) plan. According to the mid-term cam pus development plan—the first of two long-range plans, the softball field would be located across the street and community soccer fields would be added in that same area. If the bond passes, the mid-term development redesign would take effect. The college’s long-term devel opment plan is geared toward growth over the next 10 years. Pos sible additions to the college would include a two-level parking garage in the Barlow parking lot, expan sion of virtually every existing building as well as a general class room building on the east side of Randall Hall and a new covered physical education practice facility on the north side of the building.
