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.

I 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- Page 2 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.
