‘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.

people on campus and it’s just a |
good leadership experience.

“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.”

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.”
