The entire community has
come together to mourn this
tragic event, including those
at Clackam as Com munity
also in the same reserve class
as one of our officers.
Our prayers go out to the
family and friends o f Officer
Libke, as well as the brave
men and women o f the Oregon

the ranks and reminds us of the

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.

The Barlow parking lot sits with many needs and not enough funds to meet them. Many students have to take many precautions due to the neglect the parking
lot faces, so that the torn up cement and multiple speed bumps that aren’t marked d o n t affect their vehicles.

Retail fa ir refurbished

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

throughout the community.
“Overall, it was a huge
success,” Leonard said.
But the college is already
planning the next event, and they
want it to be bigger. The college
will be hosting a spring career
fair on March 21. Be sure to mark
your calendars now.
