Clackamas parking lots have
lently suffered a string of hit
Id run accidents.
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.”

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

■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.

fclood drive: Donors fall

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.
