For many music artists, the hardest part
reating an album may not be writing the
gs, or putting together a band, but finding
fding space.
e college now offers courses in music
ology that allow students to explore the
i
pi-making process right here on campus:
Music 107, 108 and 109.
MUS 107 and 108, students gain hands-
on experience in the studio. The skills taught
during these courses especially benefit indi
viduals who then enroll in MUS 109.
¿MUS 109 students choose any band or art-
iswhat has submitted a resume to the music
department and work with that ensemble to
compose a CD. 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. At the academy he taught audio
engineering and music part-riffled
Wakeling created the recording stu
dios with Rose’s assistance. 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.
This is not easily done in a classroom
environment.”

Nov. 14, Courtney G. Wilton,

;s, shared a particularly hor-
ing fact: If enrollment keeps
aping and government fund-
goes down, the college may

People
attended
the
Legalization of Marijuana Forum
Nov. 12 wearing a range of cloth
ing, from tie-dye shirts to pen
guin suits, but regardless of their
attire, everyone had the opportu
nity to be heard.
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. This number
was lower than the Democratic
Club expected, leading some to
question whether the forum was
taken as a joke.
Perhaps advertising is to
blame.
MAMA representative Daniel
Chandler felt that in order to be
taken seriously by individuals on
either side of the issue, the col

lege could have advertised in a
more professional manner. When
he first stepped out of his car and
saw the “POT THIS WAY” post
ers around campus, his initial
reaction was to drive away, he
candidly said at the forum.
Chandler and other organi
zation representatives discussed
both facts and common opinions
concerning marijuana.
As printed on a NORML flyer
available at the forum, “The U.S.
Penal Code states that any person
can be imprisoned for up to one
year for possession of one mari
juana cigarette and imprisoned
for up to five years for growing a
single marijuana plant.”
‘Tacts, science and logic are
great,” Associate Director of
Oregon NORML Russ Belville
writes on another flyer, “but they
get you nowhere until you’ve
broken through most people’s
cherished fears and ignorance
about the plant.
“Once marijuana is seen as a
helpful herb insteacLof a danger
ous drug, the rest of the prohibi
tionist’s arguments are toast.”
According to the Web site of
the National Institutes of Health,
the National Institute of Drug
Abuse (NIDA) maintains that
