from 11 a.m, to 1 p.m.

Bands are playing outside and
tables are set up with information
about environmental issues. 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,

"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.
