On Oakland trip Shepherd deploys ‘flex defense’ By Mike Rose Of The Print The Dallas Cowboys’ “Hex Defense” and the College’s Employee Management and Development Department? There’s a connection. Accor ding to Stuart Shepherd, both put pressure where it’s needed most. “A lot of what we do is tailor made to the community’s needs,” Shepherd said. His Employee Management and Development Department deals with the job training needs of the community. “This is consistent with the College’s commitment to serve the total community,” he said. “After all, business and in dustry pay a large share of the taxes that support the College.’? Shepherd’s job is to contact those in the community who may have training needs and to arrange training to fit those needs. For example, Shepherd arranged for a College instruc tor to do a 30-minute welding demonstration at Omark In dustries in Milwaukie. The employees were experienced but lacked training in one type of welding. The services of Employee Management and Development are available to large and small businesses, in dustries and the county. “You can tell us what you want, and we’ll give it to you where you want it, and when you want it at a low cost,” Shepherd said. He calls this concept “Flex Training,” a name he derived from the Dallas Cowboys’ “Flex Defense.” The Cowboys’ defensive strategy is designed to put pressure on offense where it is most needed. Shepherd has also set up training programs for Safeway employees in Portland. This led to his traveling to Oakland, Calif., to Safeway’s corporate office to discuss training pro grams on a larger scale. The trip to Oakland was paid for by the College. While in Oakland, Shepherd also made an appointment with Tom Landry, coach of the Dallas Cowboys, and inter viewed him on tape about the subject of Hex Defense. This tape is being incorporated into a slide show that will be shown to businesses and the Chamber of Commerce to publicize the College’s Flex Training pro gram.

Rather than lowering the flags immediately, the ASG has decided to put a hold on the flag lowering until the hostages actually land in the U.S. “We would like to wait until the hostages hit home,” ASG President Eric Etzel said. When ASG appoints its new media director on Thursday, the director will head a media blitz in order to adequately publicize the solemn event. “We would like to make this more of a school event,” Etzel said Tuesday, “and it should take a week or two to organize the ceremony efficiently,” he said. The guest list for the Ceremony includes College President John Hakanson and the members of the college board of education.

The prank caller has been ask ing very personal questions “These kinds of calls make it difficult for legitimate resear chers to ask questions.” The research department is involved in two projects: the Metro Area Survey which is now investigating the needs of employers and other topics about the community; and the Graduate and Early Leaver Follow Up which concerns former Clackamas students.
