The Torum was held during the tithe The ; Print was going to press. Highlighted items were ones that would affect Clackamas Community College students the most. The biggest was Sedate Bill 1524, which wpuld charge the Higher Education Coordinating Council to do a study on how to allow Oregon high school gradu ates to attend state commu nity colleges tuition free.

The tally was 102 for, ; eight against. The Board of Education ratified the new contract that same night duringits month ly convening. The two parties compro mised on the classified staff salary increâses, meeting in the middle at a 1 percent increase in salaries for the first two years with a 2 per cent increase in the third year. President’s Day was added as a recognized holi day, subject to holiday pay for those who worked on Monday, Feb. 17, while the campus was open, though there were no classes for the students. - « — Donny Beach Students ride the bus to and from school and the bus typically runs every 40-60 minutes depending on the time of day. Student pedestrians walk from the bus stop on campus to the Highway 213 crosswalk. They walk in the street (South Douglas Loop) next to the curb as there is no sidewalk and walking in the grass can be dangerous as there are ankle breaking holes in many places. There are no signs cautioning driv ers about pedestrian safety and there is no crosswalk where the South Douglas Loop intersects with the North Douglas Loop. This is a dangerous safety concern that staff and the adminis tration should address. There is a path that the school built that is up to 100 feet from the South Douglas Loop roadway. It is more of a scenic path than the desired path to get from point A to point B. According to MegaFilter, a community Weblog, “A desire path ... can be a path created as a consequence of foot or bicycle traffic. The path usually represents the shortest or most easily navi gated route between an ori gin and destination.” Many colleges, such as Penn State have built sidewalks where students walk on desire paths. The school could make the above noted desire- path safer by installing side walks and signs along South Douglas Loop front the bus stop to Highway 213. The cost would be for materials only if the landscape classes took on the projects and sup plied student labor. - Terry Gefael 2nd term student . Terry— ; Bob Cochran, dean of campus services, agrees that some pedestrian path ways on the college proper ty may not adequately pro vide the most convenient paths from point A to point B. The college will be eval uating the Highway 2T3th; area and many other col lege pedestrian and bicycle pathways within the capital campaign study. —The Clachainas Print CORRECTION: Issue 8, pg 7.
