Going deep into the new green By Erik Andersen News Editor When it comes to saving ener gy which in turn saves us money and ultimately the Earth, a lot of us may try but don’t know exactly how. The movie “Deep Green,” which was shown in the McLoughlin auditorium April 22, goes over, in depth, the various ways we can save energy both individually and as a whole. Matt Briggs, the creator of toe film, traveled far and wide to get ideas on new methods other countries are doing to conserve and create cleaner energy as well as share toe ideas he has and got from other places. Traveling to places like China, France, Spain, Germany and many more, Briggs tried and succeeded in getting a wide range of different methods of environmental sustainability. “Deep Green” is a great movie that expresses toe importance of moving to more “green” means of energy use while also showing how it can be done. Starting off with some animation with a hint of humor but a strong message the movie then goes into toe travels that Briggs has done in the seven years of building his final masterpiece. Briggs does an outstanding job covering all toe areas in which we can go towards a more environmen- tally safe life style. Briggs traveled to China to see what advances they are using with their buildings to make them more environment friendly. In the documentary, one of the people Briggs interviews explains that close to 50 new skyscrapers are being started in China a week and how new environmental companies are starting to change the construction of these buildings to make a smaller carbon footprint. In the film, Briggs also makes his way around the United States showing toe various locations where environmental movements are taking place. Whether it is here in Oregon at toe windmill farms to the east or Solarworld in Hillsboro, which makes solar panels for the public, to the scien tific advancements New York is doing to better our air quality. Briggs doesn’t just preach his message though, he also follows it Briggs brings us into his home through the documentary to show what he has done to shrink his own carbon footprint. In “Deep Green,” Briggs invites toe cam era crew' and a team of specialists to his house to capture on film what people may not know about energy saving and wasting. "Deep Green” will be pre miering at the Bagdad Theater June 22 and will have showings for a week. DVDs will also be sold at toe event Illustration by Kayla Berge Clackamas Print Ducks quack for enrollment By Joshua Baird The Clackamas Print | Ducks! Go! Fight! Ducks!

However there is a large number of athletic events to go to thanks to UO’s Oregon Ducks, which includes football, basketball, baseball and hockey to name just a few of the 17 varsity teams at the college. The football team is a Pacific 10, Division I team of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The team draws a large number of followers every year to fill the Autzen Stadium. Every year the rivalry between the Ducks and the Oregon State University Beavers heats up in the event known as the Civil War. “Rivalry between OSU and Oregon - I personally can’t fathom why any one would want to be a Beaver ... and I grew up in Corvallis. That said, I want both schools to do well in the Pac-10 sports-wise, but when the Civil War comes, I want to slaughter them,” Susan Koller Coleman, a UO alumnus, stated in a message via Facebook. UO is home of one of the top- rated journalism schools in the coun try where nine Pulitzer Prize winners attended since the university received its accreditation for journalism and mass communications. In addition, UO’s college of arts and sciences is nationally renowned school with 49 majors, the most popular of which is the psychology department. “I majored in psychology as an undergrad and also earned a master’s in special education. I chose Oregon because it was relatively close to home, and the psychology department had a good reputation. I chose to stay for my master’s because the U of O was number three in the nation for special education,” Coleman said. Many students at UO live on campus despite the expenses. “I would probably stay in a dorm; money-wise I would rather not. I want to be able to pay for things as long as I can, and once I’m down there I don’t know if I’ll be able to get a job as eas ily and be on the dance team and do school, so I will take out loans to be able to live on cam- pus. It would be a little bit harder to live off campus,” said Heidi Hammond, Clackamas student and English major. “The main re son why I want to go I best in the state,” said Hammond. “Over the last five fall terms, 126 students have transferred from CCC to UO. That’s an average of about 25 students per fall term,” Brian Henley, the Director of Admissions, stated in an e-mail. there is for their dance team; I’ve heard it is the All illustrations by Kayla Berge Clackamas Print
