Students’ jobs are to help record, edit, cut and arrange the music on the album. Music Department Chair Tom Wakeling approached Brian Rose with the idea for the first of the three classes - MUS 107, and introductory course in audio engi neering - seven years ago, asking if he would teach it. Rose, who is now the head of the music technology program, owned and ran a professional studio during this time, and had constructed a studio at the Northwest Academy, in Portland.

Rose also contributed in the design and inspections of the Niemeyer building during the con struction. “The only way to really test your ability to swim is to jump into deep water and struggle,” Rose said. “These students have to learn the basics, learn the studio and get a recording made in three terms.

The forum, sponsored by Clackamas’ Democratic Club, took place in McLoughlin Hall. Representatives from various organizations participated, includ ing the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), Voter Power and Mothers Against Misuse and Abuse (MAMA). These groups are not for legal izing marijuana; they are for re legalizing it. The audience at the event con sisted of 73 people.
