News The new editor-in-chief is Maggie Jirasek i... 2001 ThE cuelmos DIANA SCRIVNER Editor-in-Chief Maggie Jirasek, feature’’editor, has been^ckoseiTjas next gear's et^tor-in-chief of Clackamas Prmt. i ‘Tthink that Maggie will make an excellent editor because she is an excellent writer and is commit ted to the newspaper,” said Linda Vogt, advisor. Jirasek, an international student from Germany, has been in the U.S. for the past three years and is ma joring in journalism. Jirasek came to the U.S. to meet her uncle and cousins. She origi nally planned to stay for one year, but upon completion of high school in Milwaukie in 1999, she liked it so much so she decided to stay longer. She enrolled at Clackamas Fall term of 1999, and after meeting with a counselor, signed up for the newspaper staff. “I like writing and thought that someday I would like to be a re porter,” said Jirasek. “It sounded like an exciting job and that’s why I joined the newspaper.” Her first year on staff she served as a staff writer and took a number of Journalism classes to improve her writing including, reporting, editing and design and mass me dia and society. This year Jirasek served as feature editor. "She has done a good job with the feature section this year and has the sense of what a good newspaper piece is,” said Vogt. “That is important in creating a good paper.” Throughout her time on staff, Jirasek has written a number of sto ries in every section. When asked what her favorite thing to write was she immediately said “horo-^^ scopes. I also like to write^p^^ features and movie re- views,” she said. (X '•'1 like to write every-J thing.” Jirasek is look- ing forward to next year as edi- tor and has some goals in mind. “1 think we should try to get , more students in-. vol veil in the pa- pi i pe<>p Ic ■ to w rite, u ork the website and?*. to sell ads,” she ^fl- •« ulxlujii ¡i 'i'iaaaBMMMWw Black History Mon Remembering b J explained. “I think it’s * . a good experience for ev- eryone to be involved with be- 7 cause you get to know a lot of | people on campus and it’s just a | good leadership experience. fl “I think that the editors com-l ing back next year are really moti- vated as well,” she added. Upon graduating from Clacka mas, Jirasek plans to go to the Uni versity of Oregon and complete her LIESL MUGGLI/ Clackamas Print journalism degree. Her dream job Maggie Jirasek, an international student from Germany, has been on The Print for the last is to write for National Geographic two years. She is currently the feature editor and was chosen as next year's editor-in-chief. because she loves to travel and meet different people and explore different cultures. Before stepping into her dream career, she will lead as next year’s editor-in-chief, helping others with their writing and presenting the news to Clackamas’ campus. “Maggie is extremely dedi cated,” said Vogt. “I think she un derstands the importance of the PORTLAND CONNECTION paper on the campus and will con tinue this tradition of excellence.” Concordia is designed to help you succeed. You’ll establish connections throughout Portland that will keep you ahead of the game and close to home. Still no solution for Dye Learning Center DIANA SCRIVNER Editor-in-Chief The Dye ¡Learning Center staff is anxiously waiting for any infor mation that could help them nar row down why they are becoming sick. According to Carol Patterson, associate dean of campus services, petri dish test results, which tell very specifically what is in the air, will be in this week “Every time we get a result we’re able to eliminate something,” said Patterson. “We’re hoping that something will come back within the next two tests.” At a meeting held yesterday, Patterson explained to staff the lat est test results, which measured the amount of spores in the air. Clayton Environmental, who per formed the tests, found that the amount of spores were minimal to the amount outside and not a fac tor of the problem. “The results show that our fil ters are working exactly as they should, filtering out the spores,” said Patterson. While campus services waits for the results from Clayton Environ mental, they are doing a number of things to help find a solution. These things include tracking the cheating and cooling system daily, running a sulfur dioxide test and brainstorming. Although campus services are confident that Radon is not the problem, they have or dered a Radon test. For now, all staff members can do is wait. “There’s not a quick fix,” said Patterson. “You have to go through all these steps, and that seems to take forever.” ■ We accept the OTAA (Oregon transfer degree) ■ Concordia is an accredited University-recognized for quality ■ Personal attention is given to make transfer as easy as possible ■ Most majors include mentors and internships ■ Merit scholarships and financial aid are available ■ Day and evening classes 1-800-321-9371 www.cu-portland.ecLu admissionsOcu-portland.edu a M 3 3 O o I M CONNECT AT CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY 2811 NE Holman St • Portland • Oregon • 97211 HEALTH CAKE ADMINISTRATION .
