Registration open
By James Duncan
Associate News Editor
Summer is here, spring is leav
ing and fall is right around the bend.
Fall registration and the first few
weeks of fall are a stressful time
for most students. Whether you are
new or a seasoned college student,
the fall always proves to throw you
a curve ball.
The biggest problem students
face with the coming of fall term
is that some still don’t get their
paperwork in oh time. According
to Chippi Bello, director of enroll
ment services, you should have
your documents into the registrar’s
office by May 30 if you don’t want
to face any delays in the financial
aid process.

“It’s about 14 weeks from the
term that summer term ends so
we figure that if financial aid takes
about 12 weeks to process and if
students submit all the documenta
tions to our office ... then it gives
students about 12 weeks to plan to
see what type of financial aid they
have,” said Bello. “Submit all the
documentations to us by the recom-

Political science instructor absent for rest of yea
On the afternoon of Wednesday, May
18, political science instructor Dean Darris
didn’t show up to class. As students tried
to figure out what was going on, student
Robert Brown, a close friend of Darris,
came in and told the class that he wasn’t
going to be showing up for the rest of the
term.
According to an email Darris’ wife Tara
Darris sent out to students, he had a “near
heart attack” but is trying to make sure his
students were being looked after.
“He will not be returning to class but he
will do everything to make sure you get the
credits and grades you deserve,” Tara Darris

stated in the email.
Dean Darris is suffering from hyperten
sion and other “confidental” health prob
lems, his wife said. He read two emails
from two different Clackamas administra
tors Wednesday afternoon and his blood
pressure spiked, according to Tara Darris.
“He’s been in and out of the hospital.
He’s been in physican’s care,” Tara Darris
said. “He’s facing surgeries.”
Tara Darris is concerned about how the
college is treating her husband.
“He should be praised for his efforts, but
instead he’s abused,” Tara Darris said.
Vice President of College Services
Courtney Wilton said the college upholds
privacy ethics, and he could only speak in
general terms.
“It’s challenging in that anyone can
say anything they want about the college,”
Wilton said. “We absolutely deny harrassing
any staff. Just because someone says some
thing doesn’t mean it’s true.”
According to Bill Briare, dean of arts and
sciences, the col lege is looking for a replace
ment instructor and that the classes are be ing
informed of the changes and events.
Some of Dean Darris’s classes have been
taken over by part-time instructor Chuck
Mitchell. Doug Foster has taken over for the
