In the week of Nov. 14-21, a tl |al of three accidents, two on b same day, were reported to Campus Public Safety. Scott k ■cllvoy, a Clackamas computer silence major and one of the vic tims, told the Print his story. ■On Nov. 21, during his one- hlur Writing 121 class, some body struck Mcllvoy’s car in the ■cLoughlin parking lot. HS ■“You park your car and go to cfess, you just assume that it’ll bl okay when you come back,” ■cllvoy said. ■On Nov. 14, two unrelated ac- cilents occurred in the Barlow ■t and at the Family Resource Center (FRC). All the incidents happened while the owners were in classes. In Mcllvoy’s case, however, the impact is doubly felt. “I just started to go to school full-time, so I switched my insur ance over to liability. Now I’ve got to eat it,” he explained. His options seemed even bleaker after he talked to Clackamas Public Safety Officer Patrick Duley. After filing an ac cident report and giving Mcllvoy a case number, there was not much more Duley could do. According to Duley, approxi mately $ 1000 damage was done to each car. When the Print asked Mcllvoy if he had a message for the driver who hit his car and ran, he shrugged. “I don’t think you’d be able to run what I had to say right now. I’m pretty frustrated.” MIKE POLLOCK / Clackamas Print Scott Mcllvoy, student, looks in disgust at the dent left on his car by a hit and run driver. The accident occurred in the McLoughlin parking lot and is one of many incidents this year.. iving Tree provides Christmas gifts for needy children DIANA SCRIVNER Editor-in-Chief jChristmas is about giving, and this year the Associated Student Government (ASG) is incorporating giving into the busy holiday season through tne Giving Tree. |The Giving Tree has names of anonymous students and families hanging on it. “It is for anyone who is in need or needs help,” this holi day season, according to Maria Green, child care officer and co ordinator of the giving tree. There are a number of tags containing age and sex of chil dren on the tree located in the community center outside of moking: College earches for solutions t Continued from page 1 ■One student was worried that designated areas would be so far away that it would be difficult to smoke in the allotted time be tween classes. ■“I would be very upset if I had to walk to a special smoking spot between classes—I only have ten minutes between classes, that’s not enough time,” said another student. ■ Mt. Hood Community College has also tried to deal with this ■roblem, since 1988, with their safety council repeatedly recom- b I mending a campus-wide ban on smoking. After years of discus sion and frequent policy changes, Mt. Hood presently has about 19 smoking areas with 11 refur bished Tri-met kiosks as shelters. The college has also established a $15 fíne for smoking in non designated areas. Clackamas is considering a similar solution but is still only discussing options. Recommen dations from various councils and student groups on campus will be examined before the final decision is made by the president's council, the ASG office, CC140. Once you have found the tag which you would like to buy a gift for, you bring it to the ASG office. In the office, they have a list of the desired gifts that spe cific children would like and they will give you a card, which contains that information, to take shopping with you. After purchasing the gift or gifts, bring them unwrapped to CC140 with the tag taped on the top. A committee of ASG of ficers and friends will wrap the gifts. All the gifts must be de livered to the office by Dec. 12. This year there áre 65 appli cants on the Giving Tree. Last year 128 children received gifts. According to Glorianne Muggli, ASG vice president, some of the applicants last year were teenage parents with un born children, asking for gifts for their unborn kids. Why have the Giving Tree? “We want to help other stu dents on campus as much as we can,” said Green. DIANA SCRIVNER / Clackamas Print Maggie Jirasek, ASG senator, sets up and decorates the Giving Tree last Tuesday in the community center. fclood drive: Donors fall hort of needed supply Continued from page 1 I From start to finish, the pro- Cess takes between 30 minutes ami an hour and a half, “De- pending on the fainters,” said Volunteer James Graves. I The process starts by do- Miors answering anonymous ^nuestions about their health. Softer the questions are an- ^Kwered, their iron levels in the Milood are tested with a finger ^Brick test. “Many consider the prick ■ worse than the actual dona- tion,” said Head Nurse Leigh Vinson. Donation levels were down for this blood drive, Last year’s average for all three drives was 63 pints of blood, with the fall drive again being the smallest of the year. Vinson and others blame the long holi day weekend for low turnout. “It is always difficult with the holidays. People aren’t home and we get a lot of colds,” she explained. The next blood drive will be scheduled during winter term. www.dackamasprint.com Thirrs Moroccan beef Caribbean chicken Spinach parmesan Tomato garlic spaghetti Pesto chicken sandwich & fries Grilled beef n cheddar & fries Downhome veg. soup Hearty Kielbasa chili Tuna Noodle casserole Cheesy fish sandwich w/ fries Cajun red bean n rice Clam chowder Mon Tues.
