ACU-I tournament
exposes new talent
By Doug Vaughan

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.”

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.
