“The most valuable thing
about the conference was the
training that was available for

publications people,” said

multi-faceted event designed to
improve skills of student leaders
and journalism students.
The event opened Friday at 1

Counseling center remodeled

Feature Editor
“There are going to be ad
justments,” commented Art
Hames, Counseling Director, on
the remodeling in the Community
Center. “It was an abrupt
change.” He also adds that the
modifications
are
“tremendous!”
The changes were brought
about due to overcrowding in
some of the CC offices and other
such problems.
“Most of the major work was
done in the week between
Christmas and New Year’s,” ex
plained Debbie Baker, Director
of Student Activities. There are
little things still being done.
The changes are as follows:
1. The Handicap and Veteran’s
office is now connected to the rest
of the Counseling department.
2. There is now a private con
ference room for students with
transcript difficulties and other
related problems. 3.The Evening

Whether students will be able
to receive an affordable, quality
education at Clackamas Com

whether or not the college’s
operating levy passes on March
22. The two-year rate-base
serial levy of $1.32 per $1000 of
assessed valuation must pass in
order to avoid cuts in class of
ferings and pressure to further
increase tuition. ASG continues
to experience personnel.

Scholarship
established
The Clackamas College
Board of Education has
established an endowed scholar
ship honoring board member
Bill Gregory, who died last Oc
tober. Interest earnings from
the William C. Gregory
Memorial Endowment will pro
vide one scholarship each year
to a deserving CCC student.
The college will provide up to
$6,000 in matching money if an
equal amount can be raised in
donations. Board member
Larry Wright and Earl Zinck, a
retired business instructor, will
lead the fundraising effort.
Gregory, a West Linn resi
dent, has been a member of the
CCC Board since 1970, serving
four terms as chairman. In
1986, he was awarded the
Clackamas Community College
Board of Education Award for
Excellence. Also that year,

received
the
Distinguished Service Award
from the Oregon Community
College Association. He had
been a principal in the West
Linn School District for 39
years and in Oregon City for
two years.
calendar could be one of the
issues that ASG could not res
pond to on behalf of its
students. This decision will have
a drastic effect on the cost and
variety of an education at
Clackamas Community Col
lege. It is an issue that will re
quire intensive effort on the
part of ASG. The decision must
be overturned to protect
students from the negative ef
fects of semester conversion.
Quality cost effective enter
tainment for the students has
also been an issue. ASG
through its Entertainment
Coordinator and Senators has
been working successfully to
meet the student demand for
programing that will reach a
larger and more diverse group
of students for the dollar than it
has in the past. Attendance at
this year’s first dance was well
above last year’s average, as
was the attendance at the mini
programs in the Community
Center Mall. ASG would like to
continue to meet the demand
for these services for its consti
tuents.
The student body
has accomplished a lot through
the leadership it has directly and
indirectly selected for its
Associated Student . Govern
ment. Still many of these issues
need considerable attention to
be successfully dealt with. There
are also many issues for
students that have not been
brought to the attention of ASG
that will require hard work as
well. Many challenges are suc
cessfully behind us, many are
before us, and many more lie
ahead.
This years issue of Folio,
CCC’s Art Publication, is in the
works. There is advertising
space available for your

ASG meets GPA’s
All of the members of the
Associated Student Government

of Fall Term no one was
academically ineligible to hold of

The overall average GPA of
ASG for Fall Term was 3.03. The
overall average credits of ASG
were 14.3 credit hours.
