The driver’s education program now has 16 brand new 2005 Chevy Malibus. 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

It got Clackamas a new
instructor (John Bohach) who
teaches two sessions daily. 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. Class registration opened
yesterday, so sign up now.
