ACU-I tournament exposes new talent By Doug Vaughan Of The Print Clackamas Community College students have a chance to participate in the Association of College Unions-International recreation game tournament at the College, which started yesterday and continues through Friday. The tournament includes such recreational games as foosball, backgammon, chess, table tennis, bowling and billiards (eight ball). The winners of the events at the College and possibly the second place finishers will ad vance to the regional tourna ment at Mt. Hood Community College, Feb. 18-19. The Col lege will co-sponsor the event. The competition at regionals will include winners from two- year schools in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. Students wishing to par ticipate had to sign up the Mon day before the tournament started. Each participant can compete at a two-year college for two years, and they have a four year eligibility through col lege. “It gets students involved who are not involved with athletic activities,” tournament director Kelly Sullivan said. “These things are something that you do all the time: When you go out on Friday night you go bowling or shoot pool.” Sullivan added that this tournament includes games that are not glorified as much as athletics. He also feels it allows individuals who have talent in these areas to receive recognition, and have the Col lege recognize who they are. All students carrying eight or more credit hours are eligible to participate. The billiard and foosball tournaments started yesterday at 4 p.m. in the Community Center. The chess and backgammon tournaments are set up on a class conve nience schedule, whereas the bowling will be done at Tri-City Bowl on a designated night. Sullivan has tournament managers in charge of each of the events. The tourney is sponsored and funded by the Associated Student Government. The on ly fees facing the participants are the lane fees of the bowlers. ASG also pays for the regional qualifiers’ expenses. Top placers at the regional tournament then move on to the nationals, which is paid for by ACU-I. The only events that carry national tournaments are foosball, bowling, billiards and darts (in which the College does not offer). One problem that Sullivan feels may cause a decrease in participation is that the regional tournament is at Mt. Hood. Last year they were in Boise, Idaho, prompting more people to participate. “Everyone who went on the trip (to Boise) had one of the greatest times in their lives,” Sullivan said. The qualifiers from the College last year went on the trip with Mt. Hood and Oregon State. Sullivan added, “The social in teraction is really neat-it is a lot more than what you would think it is.” Since the regionals is at Mt. Hood, Sullivan said the participants will just commute back and forth. Every year, Sullivan said, the College qualified the max imum amount of people for the regional tournament. He estimated that there are about 100 people at the College who participate in the tourney. “This (the tournament) is really overlooked. We have a lot of talent,” Sullivan said. “We have people come back shocked at the quality (of players) at regionals.” Financial Aid Q&A With Financial Aid Forms (FAF) now available students will have many question.

Child’s nutrition extends ‘Beyond Peanut Butter and Fast Foods’ By T. Jeffries Of The Print Helping parents help their children is the subject of “Beyond Peanut Butter and Fast Foods,” a workshop focusing on showing parents how to help children develop good eating habits. The workshop, sponsored by the Clackamas Community Col lege Family and Human Ser vices department, will feature discussions on vitamins, foods that are quick, easy and nutritious, and other related topics. “A lot of people are wor ried about how their children are eating, but they don’t really know what to do about it,” Carolyn Knutson, home economics chairperson, said. “There are others who have chosen the path of least resistance, and just let them have what they want.” The workshop will explore techniques for parents on nutritious foods, healthful snacks and other inexpensive nutritious meals. It will also deal with how parents can be sure their child is eating right, when they should be alarmed, and when the child should be taking vitamin pills. “We want to teach people how they can be the one in charge of what their children eat,” Knutson said. “Children have such immense choices that they have no ability to make, given the temptations of TV commercials and peer group pressures.” The workshop is free and open to the public. It is scheduled for Jan. 27, from 7-9 p.m. at the College’s Or chard Center 121.
