Clackamas Community
College’s winter term blood
drive will take place in the
Community Center Jan. 28.
The drive will take place
from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the
collected blood will be used to
benefit hospitalized patients in
the area. Associated Student
Government (ASG) represen
tative Debbie Cayton, assis
tant to the president, is the
chairperson in charge of
organizing the event which is
put on by the American Red
Cross.
Cayton said the ASG’s goal
is to get 85 units of blood. Last
term’s blood drive collected 73
units of blood.
Before giving blood, every
potential donor undergoes a
“mini-physical” consisting of
a blood pressure and anemia
In last week’s story concern
ing the resignation of former
Associated Student Govern
ment (ASG) President Jenny
Metzker, the following infor
mation needs correction:
The ASG senate voted to ac
cept Metzker’s resignation
because she had failed to meet
the fall 1984 ASG academic re
quirements of completing six
credit hours with a minimum
GPA of 2.0.
Although Metzker did not
meet these requirements in the
spring
of
1984
and
although the ASG constitution
indicates that Metzker was un
qualified for office as early as
Oct. 13, because of her spring
grades, the ASG senate remov
ed her from office based upon
her failure to meet fall 1984 re
quirements.
Based on updated informa
tion the vote to accept Met
zker’s resignation was 12 in
favor, none opposed and one
abstention, instead of two
abstentions as reported earlier.
Also, Metzker is currently at
tending classes.
