CORY PRICE Clackamas Print A representative from Holem Welding Supply shows a guest some of the latest pre cision welding equipment last night at the grand opening celebration of the new welding building. More than 200 people showed up at the gala, which was held to celebrate the completion of the first building to be erected of the six newest struc tures being built on campus. This building was completed on time and under budget. Full use of the building will begin summer term 2003. Library books vandalized, stolen Monday night Shadra Beesley Edltor-ln-Chlef Six books were vandalized and stolen from the college library Monday night, and one other dam aged book was found. According to Circulation Coordinator Katie Hovanic, the cov ers, bar codes and call numbers were all that remained of the six missing books, most of them on Greek Mythology. One other book, “Women’s Encyclopedia,” was found damaged. Katie Mason, a part-time worker, found the remains of the books in a back comer of the library Monday night, said Hovanic. The covers were tom from three of the books and left in the library, and the call numbers were cut off all six books. Hovanic said it looked like the bar codes had been cut off with a knife. “This is unfortunate because these books are no longer available to other students. This is an area of study that is used often because we have a mythology class offered here at CCC,” said Hovanic. “It also adds to the overall price of school for stu dents because these books will have to be replaced.” The missing and vandalized books include “Gods and Goddesses,” “Illustrated Encyclopedia of Arthurian Legend,” “Celtic Myths and Legends,” “Guide to Astrology,” “Illustrated Book of Myths and Legends,” and “Ancient Greece, an Illustrated History.” “It’s not an unusual occurrence for libraries to experience stolen and vandalized books, but it is unusual for it to happen to this many books all at once,” said Hovanic. She reported that very shortly after they started receiving comic books for a new class some of them were vandalized. “These gates aren’t 100 percent,” Hovanic said on possible reasons why the perpetrators were able to leave the library with the books. She also explained that often when the buzzers go off patrons aren’t thoroughly searched because things like cd’s and videos can set them off. “We try to find a balance between searching and not insulting people,” said Hovanic. “Unfortunately, I tend to be too trusting, but I’m going to get tougher.” The library staff does have plans to prevent future theft and vandalism from taking place. “We’re going to be more diligent about checking everybody’s bag when the beeper goes off and about patrolling the far back comers of the library, because that’s where the mis chief happens,” said Hovanic. 4-29-03 Two juveniles playing jokes on Harmony campus.

The Print wins-four awards at state competition Editorial on police log battle wins second place Shadra Beesley Edltor-ln-Chlef “Stay away from those vomit fla vored jelly beans,” said Bob Welch, columnist for the Register-Guard in Eugene. “They don’t even taste like the real thing.” Welch gave this sage piece of advice as his clo$ing statement at this year’s Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association (ONPA) collegiate day and awards ceremony, which was held at Oregon State University on May 2. The ONPA convenes every year to award the top college newspapers in the state. Schools are placed in one of three divisions: four-year school daily newspapers, four-year school weekly, bi-weekly or monthly news papers, and two-year school weekly, bi-weekly or monthly newspapers. The Print fits into the third category, referred to as division three. The Print won four awards in its division this year. Mark Falling’s Fine Host ad series won second place for best college ad. Elena Borysjta’s sports section won second place for best section. Frank Jordan won sec ond place for best sports story for his May 2002 front-page softball story. Daisy Bain’s fall editorial on The Print’s battle for access to the campus police logs won second place for best editorial. Unfortunately, unlike the past three years, The Print did not receive a spot in the general excellence cate gory. The winner of general excel lence in division three was The Commuter of Linn-Benton Community College in Albany. In divisions one and two combined, the Oregon Daily Emerald of the University of Oregon in Eugene won first place for general excellence. The annual ONPA collegiate day is not just an opportunity for journal ism majors to evaluate the perform ance of their school’s newspaper. It is also an opportunity for them to learn about specific aspects of the field from in-state experts. Some of the featured speakers this year were Nancy Casey, art director for The Oregonian, Steve Bagwell, journalism professor at OSU, Ryan Gardner, staff photographer for the Gazette-Times and Judson Randall, retired senior editor,, for The Oregonian and faculty advisor to stu dent publications at PSU. Speakers gave one-hour seminars on topics within the field of journal ism- ranging from jobs and intern ships in the newspaper industry to digital photography. Perhaps the most valuable thing that The Print took from the ONPA awards this year was inspiration. The new look in |his issue is thanks to comments from the judges’ panel this year.
