AfeWS 2 • T he C lackamas P rint A pril 28, 20| Redesign team asks public input Karlin Johnson N ews E ditor As construction of the new buildings oh campus nears its con clusion later this year, some of the older buildings on Campus will begin the process of remodeling to make more room for activities and programs. • _ “Our programs on campus have grown,” said Interim Dean of Campus Services Bill Leach, regarding the way programs have moved into the new DeJardin and Rook Halls. “[Now] we are expanding programs that need to be expanded in the [existing] buildings.” The buildings scheduled to be remodeled are Randall and McLoughlin Halls and the Community Center. All remodel plans are just proposals, however; no permanent decisions have been made. With theater productions and classes moving to the currently under-construction Communication Arts Center, the McLoughlin Theatre would be used as a lecture hall. The bookstore would take advantage of the space previously used for backstage and theatre offices by moving their storage into those rooms and using their current storage -space to expand their sales floor. In Randall Hall, construction would create more room for the programs it currently holds. For example, the dance program would take over the third-floor spaces currently occupied by the music program. “We are [also] expanding the weight room by a lot,” said Leach. “I would say two or maybe three times the size that it is now.” Renovation of the Community Center is the most anticipated by faculty. “It’s the most extensive project and the one that many of us like the most,” said Leach. “We are going to convert the Community Center info a real student union.” The formerly bustling Community Center became some what vacant when registration moved to the new Rook Hall. After remodeling, the fireside room would be used to give stu dents a meeting place, and the cen ter of the Community Center would house a commons, area. ASG will be relocated to new offices in the current Skylight Dining room. All plans for these buildings remain “proposed” because the planning team would like input from the students and staff'that use the campus daily. Blueprints displayed in Rook, McLoughlin and Randall Halls, as well -as the Dye Learning, Center and the Community Center, will give Clackamas students and staff a chance to view the plans and give any input as to what changes they would like to see.

The Community Center will be the first to begin construction, in mid-June, and is slated to be fin ished by Sept. 1. Construction on McLoughlin and Randall Halls is hoped to begin Nov. 1 and will be continued throughout the winter with no set date of completion as of yet. Although few students are aware of the remodel plans, many staff members are looking for ward to results. “Most that I’ve talked to are very excited about this,” said Leach.

Competing against ovcr^5Q schools, the KUCINICH: candidate shows support for CCC, PUD (Continued from page 1) Kucinich added. Civiletti also blasted critics, citing studies indicating the apparent savings of a PUD, producing figures indicating thousands of dollars in savings in the first few years alone. Kucinich pointed out that the savings would directly ben efit the taxpayers. According to Kucinich, Enron and PGE only paid $10 in income tax the last fiscal year before the scandal. Taxpayers had to fill in the gap, he said, and the majority of the burden fell on middle-class families. Coincidentally, it should be noted that The Print’s commen tary last week about Kucinich has no relation to’ his visit to campus this week; at the time of publication, The Print had no knowledge of his visit. ------------- 1 campus < team’s coordinated efforts nerves and thought there was no earned a bronze medal for way I would make it.

According to Orlando, the reason for the change is to become more compatible with four-year institutions that are already employing a four-cred it system, and to facilitate stu dents’ transferability. Students; however, might sec the benefits of these changes in another way. . “In the long run, students may be taking fewer courses [overall],” Orlando said.
