The decision to get new cars was spurred by the number of students driving new models. finished, however, Jenkerson looks forward to focusing on his many other duties for a while. “On these, hopefully, we won’t have to work on [them] anytime soon,” said Jenkerson. “We’ve had to replace transmis sions, dead batteries, and we have collisions, of course.” The Driver’s Ed program, according to*Holmes, has a really good record when it comes to collisions. “In the entire history of Driver’s Ed, only one was our fault,” said Holmes. But Jenkerson knows that, like all cars, they’ll probably need to be kept up and maintained over the coming years. “Usually about 36,000 miles or three years everything goes to hell,” he laughed, “whichever comes first.” “We get a new batch every four to five years,” said Holmes. “We are entirely self sustaining. Driver’s Ed does not cost the col lege a penny. Each year we save money ... when the time comes, we buy the cars.” “We’ll be selling the Hyundais [we have now], so keep an eye out,” Holmes said as an after thought. “If someone is looking for a new car, these - some of these - have low miles.” Anyone interested in enrolling or looking for more information on the Driver’s Ed program is welcome to contact Kim Holmes at ext. 3412. to group shares new lab space with high school iMazzlsl ackamas Print automotive group has a ),000-square-foot lab dth four new car lifts, /ith all new things there , s a catch.

It also allows the automotive group the use of the new lab space after all the high school students clear out, at 12:45 p.m. Students and teachers both agree that the lab space was very much needed. The automo tive program has been , growing in the number of students each term, but until now has used the same space. The automotive program has had to expand to night classes as well as week end classes just to accommo date the growing number of stu dents in the classes. Some of the classes are still crowded. For those who are interested in taking some automotive classes, there are many to choose from in the program, and not all of them directly relate to mechanics. There are classes on engine work, body work, metal form ing, custom work, but in addi tion there are also classes on painting, hot-rodding, airbrush art, and pin-striping to name a few, which are not offered in the art department, but tend to be more artistically minded. This class shows the art aspect of the airbrush rather then just how it could be used in the automotive field. . The program invites those who have an interest in cars, just want to learn how to do the basic work needed on a car, or even have no interest in cars but have an interest in the artistic side.
