What is this all about, you may ask as you walk through the courtyard enjoy ing the music. The fifth annual Envi ronmental Week is off and running at Clackamas. “We started it to raise the aware ness of faculty and the student body at Clackamas on environmental is sues,” said Ken Eshelman, H.E.E.L (Helping Everyone’s Environment Live) Club coordinator. The idea for Environmental Week was bom at an Oregon State Univer sity (OSU) event called “waste day”. OSU students collected all of the trash from the campus for a week and then dumped it onto tarps, where they sorted out all the recyclable material. The volunteers worked in a promi nent area of campus so that students could see how much recyclable waste they were throwing away. When approached with the idea of having a waste day at Clackamas, faculty and students agreed that hav ing a week to raise awareness would be more beneficial, Eshelman ex plained. Various speakers will promote dif ferent environmental and other life issues from the bandstand from 11:55- 12:10, daily. Also daily, The Envi ronmental Learn ing Center (ELC) will host Earth Walks from 1-1:30 p.m., and a band will perform in the lower court yard from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (See Sidebar). Tables set up in the upper courtyard, outside ofthe Community Center, will offer information and lit erature about a wide range of issues, including such controversial sub jects as marijuana and abortion. “A lot of what we do is very con troversial to people,” said Eshelman. “We want to bring different points of view for people to consider whether they agree with them or not; we want to broaden people’s perspectives.” One such controversial event is the “Death Penalty Forum,” held to day at 11:30 a.m. in the Gregory Fo rum. Members of the Life for Life Committee, a group that believes in eliminating the death penalty, will speak. Speakers include: Rachel Hardesty of Life for Life: Tom Potter, Environmental Week Events: Daily: Earth walks: 1-1:30 p.m. at the Envi ronmental Learning Center.

"The name of our group is Helping Everyone’s Environment Live, there fore we will have people from Alter native to Growth Oregon here (people who want to reduce popula tion),’’said Eshelman. “We will have material from Focus on the Family, a stridently pro-life organization; be cause it’s considered that maybe there is an environment there where some one needs to live. “We are presenting both points of view, both sides of the spectrum for people to consider and that is what we think a college campus should do. A college campus is the perfect fo rum to present different points of view for people’s enlightenment,” concluded Eshelman.
