Fourteen file for 20 seats
Apathy reigns in senate electio
There have been only 14 petitions filed by
those wishing to fill 20 vacancies on the
Associated Student Government senate as of
last Monday, according to Jim Roberts, direc
tor of student activities.
If no more petitions are turned in, every
one who has filed one will become a member
of the student senate upon receiving one vote
at the polls on Oct. 17 and 18, said Mike
McCarty, ASG president.
The other five seats will be filled by any
one expressing a desire to serve on the senate.
This person would only have to be elected by
a majority of the senate.
According to McCarty, the number of
student senators was raised to 20 last year
due to an increase in student population and
the feeling that more senators were needed to
better represent the students.

CCC aptitude test scores
reflect national decline
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and ACT
college entrance exams are on a progressive
decline in terms of percentage on a national
level, though Clackamas Community College
has been on a constant declivity over the last
few years, said Kent Heaton, director of test
ing at CCC.
According to Heaton, there are numerous
reasons for low test score percentage. A major
reason is students are involved in college be
cause of the financial aid programs which
offer students who felt that they were not
capable of being college material the chance
to enter into college with little or no risk of
wasting money.
The omitting of required college prep
courses in high schools has contributed to
the decline of ACT and SAT scores, Heaton
said.
CCC's testing department is a center where
the individual is able to locate general inter
ests as well as understanding how they fit in
today's society, by a number of tests avail
able in the counseling center, Heaton said.
Testing is not necessarily to be associated
with the belief that a test is only a basis to
locate the individual's academic level, but
rather a means that will enable the individual
to realize personal characteristics as well as
make apparent their level of knowledge, Hea
ton said.
'Various tests, including intelligence, per-

sonality, vocational interest, placement and
high school equivalency tests are being offer
ed in the counseling center. A minimal fee
covering processing will be required, Heaton
said, and the tests are available to both the
student and the general public.
More information on ACT and SAT test
scores can be located in the ACT paper which
is distributed in the counseling center.
The conference will be attendedby 18
sentatives of student government from»
and four-year schools in Canada, All
Washington, Idaho and Oregon.
