Head o f Campus Security Suzy Isham gave a statement, expressing the heartfelt loss of Libke on campus. “The Department o f Campus Safety is very saddened and affected by the tragic loss of our colleague and brother in arms, Officer Rob Libke from the Oregon City Police Department. Officer Libke was known to our officers through past working experience, as he was one o f the volunteer reserve officers who wàs famil iar with Clackamas Community College, assisting us this last year for graduation. He was Erin Carey News Editor The Sunday afternoon of Nov. 3, Oregon City was given a shock to the small town when volunteer officer Robert Libke was shot in the head by a man whose house was ablaze.

The Barlow Parking Lot? Karina Gustafson The Clackamas Print Driving is an everyday neces sity for most college students balancing school and jobs. It requires adequate parking to sue-, cessfully attend college. Damage to the old lots is hin dering the ability of both students and faculty to find parking. Tree roots pjrotrude from the pavement and take the last parking spots in the back of Barlow parking lot, which happens to be the most convenient for students attend ing classes in the far end of C lackam as C om m unity College. Students are left with fewer spac es than expected, forcing them to park around the tree roots and drive slowly through the lot to avoid potholes or other hazards. Student Ashley Anderson has more than enough experience in this. “I destroyed my car because we drove over speed bumps that were not properly painted or vis ible during the day,” Anderson said. Even though $20 is added per term to student’s tuition allocated for Campus Services, includ ing parking, shuttle, graduation, testing and transcripts, it’s not enough. Due to the fact that we do not pay to park daily, students are still seeing poor facilities on campus. “There is not a designated schedule for parking lot repairs,” said Bob Cochran, dean of cam pus services. “Because of the expense of these repairs versus other repairs needed at the col lege, combined with limited dol lars, it is basically pothole filling when we must.” Even though there are no future plans in place at this time for the Barlow parking lot repairs to be fixed, people can always email Bob Cochran at bobc@ clackamas.edu with their con cerns. As of now, students and fac ulty must live with the dam aged pavements and worn-out paint until the college gets the funds needed for repairs, while the school fixes more pressing matters around the campus. Ways to avoid future problems in the parking lots include; slow ing down, watching for speed bumps and potholes, looking at your surroundings you when you park at night so you know what barriers could get in your way. If possible, come early to find parking closer to the build ings, or get some use out of the shuttle bus funded by student fees. If you’re feeling spontane ous, spice up your parking habits and park in another one of the many lots available at Clackamas Community College next to each building, or give your vehicle a vacation for the day, or week, and take the bus.

P h o to Editor: Denee Shelton pbotoed@dacfcamas.edu Retail fa ir refurbished Donny Beach Associate Copy Editor Like an all-you-can-eat buffet, Clackamas Community College’s retail job fair enticed students and job seekers on Oct. 30. Co-hosted by two teams of CCC employees with federal grants, along with CCC’s Career Center at Gregory Forum, the fair threw the spot light on the most basic of retail principals — supply and demand. Employers from 17 compa nies met with, interviewed and showed more than 300 job seek ers the tricks of the trade. Some of the employers even sweetened the deal with seasonal positions and second call-back interviews. The newly hired weren’t the only grateful participants in this year’s job fair. Chad Zueck, Oregon territory manager for Cellular Plus Verizon Wireless, said he was impressed with the fair’s organization and handling. “It was the best put together career fair I’ve ever attended,” Zueck stated. He wasn’t the only employ er to be impressed either. Paul Moredock, the project direc- to r fo r th e ACT-On grant, a federal grant that promotes retail-management careers, said other employers also reported that they thought the job fair was well done, that they enjoyed meeting CCC students and that they had appreciated how well organized and easy if was to participate. According to Kara Leonard, a career coach on the CASE grant, a U.S. Department of Labor funded grant, the retail job fair demonstrated CCC’s ability to have multiple col lege departments collaborate to L c o m m u n ic a te em p lo y m en t o p p o r tu n i ties to job s e e k e rs and con nect to employ- e r s • Web & Design: Emily Rask ■ webedftor@dacfcamas.edu throughout the community. “Overall, it was a huge success,” Leonard said.
