DR. JOHN KEYSER—The third year Clackamas Community
College president stands out in University of Texas poll.
CCC President John Keyser
was chosen as one of the top
fifty community college
leaders in the U.S. by a na
tional study conducted by
John Roueche and George
Baker at the University of
Texas in Austin.
i “It’s not who they are that’s
important, it’s what they do
that’s important,” Roueche
stated.
Dr. Roueche explained that
the study was started to iden
tify what they call “Transfor
mational Leaders.” These are
college leaders who have
had a significant impact on
their institutions and the com
munities they serve.
“They’re a change-oriented
administrator versus a status
quo type administrator,” said
Roueche.
The study was started last
summer by inviting all com-
munity college presidents
and chancellors who were
members of the American
. Association of Junior Com-
tional leaders in the country.
Roueche said that faculty,
classified staff and students
were not involved in the
study because it would be too
much paper work, and
because most students only
know their own president
and not the whole nation’s.
Roueche cited CCC’s
President’s Council as a
“wonderfully collaborative
effort.”
“These are among the very best in the country and
they have been identified in this study as the top of
their field.”

McCarthy speaks about Vietnam War

Eugene McCarthy, former
1968 Presidential candidate,
spoke to students, faculty and
staff last Wednesday on the ef
fects of the Vietnam War. In
troducing McCarthy was Rep.
Mike Kopetski, fifth congres
sional district hopeful.
McCarthy, long a symbol of
political liberalism, openly op
posed the Vietnam War. He said
the war corrupted, all branches of
American life: the military, the
news media, and the English
language -- stressing the
euphemistic Orwellian rhetoric
that only served to mislead the
public.
“If I had done what I did in
Russia (oppose the war) I would
have been put in jail. In jail I
could speak. Here. I’ve been ig
nored,” he said.
He stressed that “the soldiers
were called upon to act in an un-
American way.”
McCarthy said that the United
States will not get involved in
another war like Vietnam for
another 50 or 60 years because
the public will not allow it.
“Every president should have a
‘Grenada,’ ” he joked. “A week
after the president is elected they
can have soldiers invade Grenada
and the president can feel that he
has won a war.”
McCarthy said the only
positive things to come out of the
Vietnam war was the War
Powers Act and the 18-year-old
vote.
McCarthy asked teachers and
students to keep their minds open
for several reasons, continued and “to help the country unders

Friends of the Library, a non
profit organization, held a book

Theta Kappa honor society, the
money is to go directly to a fund
set up for the CCC library.
All the books in the sale were
old texts, doubles, out-of-print,
or donations from private
libraries, said Evans.
