Harlow’s team‘phenomenal’
By Dianna Hardy

“Attention, all impromptu
and extempers qualified for
finals, report to your rounds.
Postings for all I.E.’s including
expos, interp, and oratory are
on the boards.” If you under
stand any of these terms, it is
probable that you have been in
or around a speech team at
one time or another.
Forensics, the art of giving
speeches, is a mystery to many
people. Why would anyone
want to give a speech, and of
their own free will? Not only do
the people on Clackamas
Community College’s speech
team deliver speeches, they
also enjoy doing it. Their en
thusiasm can be seen in the fact
that many of the 14 members
of the team have invented,
written and memorized at least
two, eight-minute speeches. In
some cases, each speaker
knows two or three more from
more from memory, and can
do them all at the same tourna
ment.
Last term the speech team
led by head coach Frank
Harlow and assistant coach
Connie Conners went to meets
as far as 180 miles away. Dur
ing the course of the Fall term,
the team came home with 12
to 15 trophies and awards.
Four of the speakers, Teresa
Svatos, Bob Bayles, Linda
Perkins, and Scott VanCleave,
qualified for the National
Championships, April 6-12 in
San Antonio, Texas.
While the people speaking
in individual events, (I.E.’s), in
Frank Harlow’s own words are
“doing superior,” the debate
team could be classed as
phenomenal, being ranked
third in the nation.
The speech team offers
the opportunity to give many
different kinds of speeches. In
terpretation and persuasive
speeches are done by most
members, followed by ex
pository, debate, extem
poraneous and impromptu.
“Most people hear about
the program in the Speech 111
class, and then get involved,”
Harlow said. All of the people
on the team were amateurs at
one time or another. But with
practice, they have improved.
These practices take place on
Mondays and Wednesdays
from 1-4 p.m., in Harlow’s of
fice. Being part of the speech
team fulfills part of the Art and
Letters requirement with one-
three credits toward a General
Education major.
Even though the team is
doing a good job this year, they
need more people. Most
schools have at least 25 people
on their teams so that not all
the speakers have to go to
every tournament. So if you
can speak English, go for it.

lege will help displaced workers
learn “ways to prepare for job
search,” Director of Counseling
Art Hames said.
The workshops are part of
a new Displaced Worker Pro
gram at the College, which
Hames helped to form. He ex
plained that the idea for the
program came after he and
other College staff members at
tended a Displaced Worker
Workshop at Linn-Benton
Community College on Oct.
29.
The increased number of
displaced workers also promp
ted the formation of the
Displaced Worker Program.
Hames said there are currently
160,000 unemployed people
in Oregon, with 25,000 in
Clackamas county alone.
“The displaced worker is
one who is not going to return
to his original job, usually
because the job has been
eliminated through mechaniza
tion,” Hames siad. “We’re not
planning to find jobs for peo
ple, but what kinds of things
they can do to best employ
their time.”
In correlation with the new
program
are
ongoing
workshops in the Career
Center, which is directed by
Career Development & Place
ment Officer Marv Thornley.
Thornley was also involved in
organizing the Displaced
Worker Program.
“People have to be involv
ed in planning, but we’re not
trying to be experts and solve
everybody’s problems,” he
said.
“There is no quick fix or
simple solution,” Hames said.
“When the people are ready to
realize they need help, we’re
here for them.”
The four workshops make
up C.H.O.I.C.E. (Career Hunt
Options In Current Economy)
and will be held in the Com
munity Center from 2-4 p.m.
in room 117 starting Jan. 26.
Titles and dates for the
workshops are: Coping In To
day’s Economy (Jan. 26, Feb.
23); Career And Skill Assess
ment (Feb. 2, March 2); Who
Will Hire Me (Feb. 9, March 9);
and How Do I Get Hired (Feb.
16, March 16) .
“If it works well, we’ll in
crease the number and size of
workshops spring term,”
Hames said.

PLUS $15,200 FOR COLLEGE.
Join the Army for two years. Because not only is
the Army one place where you’ll mature in a hurry, it’s a
great place to get a lot of money for college fast, too.
You see, if you participate in the Army’s college
financial assistance program, the money you save for college
is matched two-for-one by the government. Then, if you
qualify, the Army will add up to $8,000 on top of that.
That’s $15,200 in just two years. For more information
