Clubs: Interclub meeting
brings no end to issues
Bold thieves strike campus in a
daring daytime muffler theft
Continued from CLUBS, Page 1
The final decision of the forum
concluded that the chibs required
additional time to discuss and col-
laborate on events occurring on cam
pus, in order to create a more unified
front
“We have literally wanted this to
be a forum because this is not about
me; this is literally an opportunity for
clubs to get together,” Izso said. “This
is more about clubs to get together to
do something.”
The United Chib Forum will con
tinue to meet over the summer. For

According to a report filed May 9 by
Officer Brian Azule of campus security, a
catalytic converter was brazenly stolen from
a Toyota Pickup in the Barlow parking lot.
The incident took place between 5:10 and
5:15 p.m.
The unnamed victim reportedly saw a
white male in his mid-thirties, approxi
mately 5 feet 8 inches tall and 160 pounds,
with light brown hair. The man was wearing
jeans and a T-shirt, and was standing next to
another pickup in the parking lot, looking
suspicious. Another white male was working
under the victim’s truck.
When the two men were spotted, they
reportedly jumped into what another wit
ness called “a red vehicle that looked like a
Dodge Neon” and sped away.
The victim started her truck, noticed a
loud noise that sounded like it was coming
from her exhaust system and looked under
her truck to find loose exhaust parts. She
then called 911 and notified campus secu
rity.
The incident is “the only one that we’ve
heard of, of its kind, that’s been reported to
us,” said Officer Pete Kandratieff.
The recent increase in metal prices, along
with perceived economic hardship, has
prompted a rise in catalytic converter theft.
A catalytic converter is a key component
of a vehicle’s exhaust system. On modern
vehicles, catalytic converters are respon
sible for removing environment-polluting
carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons from a
car’s exhaust.
The chemical action inside the catalytic
converter changes objectionable cl#
to carbon dioxide and water vapor.
One major problem with catalytj
verters is that they are packed with i
cious metal platinum. Platinum is a
ing metal that is well-known for itsi
and durability, but it is also valuabl
Stores selling tools such as saws,
torches have seen a dramatic boost i
Such tools can be used to cut thro
front and rear exhaust pipes conne:
catalytic converter to other compoi
the exhaust system.
While there are no absolute soln
the problem, some companies aret
help.
Several Meineke car care center
area are offering a free service to b
vent the thefts.
Justin Sparks, the manager of sto
ber 272, at 145 SE 82nd Ave., desci
motivation for the free procedure a
to “help the community.”
“I’m a family guy who pays bill
know what it’s like to have somethii
from me,” Sparks said.
The free procedure entails putting
weld on the bolts and a bead on thei
harden the metal, making it more dif
cut through,” he explained.
Anyone interested in the procesi
contact a professional for more i

Clackamas students’ overall resj
the theft has been shock. Howevi

parking lots.
“I have not heard about that, i
kinda surprised,” said Kyle Mills,!
and employee of the college, “buti
