On Oakland trip
Shepherd deploys ‘flex defense’
By Mike Rose

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.
