Clackamas will be celebrating its 40 years college this Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. hroughout campus. The celebration will be a five-hour smor- bord of activities and entertainment, tiding student and alumni musical groups, national plays and songs, ballet perfor- ices, prize giveaways and tours. The thing I am most looking forward to ring [Art Instructor] Rick True as atrolley le,” said Bill Briare, dean of Humanities. ie Theatre Department set him up with a :cap and trolley outfit” - True’s sculpture tour might be a little full e Shelly Parini, dean of college advance- it and an executive producer of the event, spent the past nine months trying to con former students, faculty and staff. We’re doing all kinds of things to reach to alumni. We’ve even started a site on ipace.com,” said Parini. “We’re looking Clackamas alumni with traditional and traditional avenues.” ler efforts have already paid off; former tats and employees have been slowly but ly responding. They’re starting to come back and share istic stories,” she said. ‘We have one n who wrote in telling about her experi- s here, and now her son is going to be ling here. She saw the whole Art Mystery i way to come back and explore the Volume 40, Issue 20 Bradbury’s ‘Truth’ visits campus Emily Walters The Clackamas Print campus. ‘It’s exactly what we wanted it to do. It was perfect” Alumni aren’t the only ones welcome at the birthday bash; any interested com munity members are encouraged to par ticipate. Community involvement has and always will be die source of Clackamas’ strength and uniqueness. “The reason [community col leges] were created is to create a place for American citizens who were falling through the cracks, and access to either an affordable education that took them to an advanced degree or a good job,” said Parini. It will be exactly 40 years ago, on May 24, that 62 percent of voters approved the formation of the District, a, victory that made it possible to start building the col lege. In recognition of Clackamas’ long path to collegehood, Parini has been pouring over many of the college’s archives and mission statements from the very begin ning, “What was very pleasantly surprising to me is how consistent the college has been since its beginning in keeping the main thing the main thing and the focus on student access,” she said. The day’s events will culminate in the actual birthday bash at 3 pm. in the Osterman Theater, where there will be speeches, an Oklahoma vignette and an announcement of prizes for the vari ous contests (See Page 8 for the last Art Mystery clue).

As part of the Sustainability Project here at Clackamas, Bill Bradbury, Oregon’s Secretary of State, will be presenting a mul timedia version of Former Vice President Al Gore’s controversial film, An Inconvenient Truth. The presentation will include a discussion of climate change and what the effects of global warming may be in the Pacific Northwest. Bradbury has been Oregon’s Secretary of State since November 1999. He also served in Oregon Legislation for 14 years, from 1981 to 1995. During his time as a legislator, Bradbury was involved in many environmental issues. For instance, in 1989, he helped pass measures which prevented offshore oil drill ing and planning for state-owned’ ocean resources. On his page on myoregonstory. com, Bradbury states: “As a legislator, I had the opportunity to encourage the com plementary Oregon val ues of envi ronmental protection ana econom ic develop ment.” He con- . tinues to do this today. He is now BRADBURY involved in the Climate Project, which seeks to identify development paths and actions linked to positive climate outcomes. Bradbury was one of the first to complete a program led by Gore, in which he received training that enables him to present the slide show. Beginning in November 2006, he has offered the show in many different areas in Oregon, and has said that he will go wherever there is a group of 50 or more people. The multimedia presentation will be held in the McLoughlin Auditorium, from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Wed., May 23.
