NEWS THE CLACKAMAS PRINT November 8,1989 Page 4 CCC receives Federal Grant for Title III program by Dawn Kuehl Staff Writer A Title 3 Federal Grant has been awarded to Clackamas Community College which entitles the college to $500,000 a year for a pdriod of 5 years. The grant is given to qualified colleges to help better the quality of education. “The college is very fortunate to have such an opportunity,” said counselor Bernie Nolan. The monies are distributed over the three different sections the grant consists of. The first aspect of the grant is the Management Information Systems, which has upgraded the central computer system. “It is moving us away from what we call ‘dumb terminals.’ We are devel­ oping a microcomputer network where computers can communi­ cate with each other,” explained David Dickson. Student Retention,' the sec­ ond half of the Title 3 grant, has made student testing easier and more accurate. Testing is now done on the computers that are in the counseling center. Student Reten­ tion also helps the instructors because they can now look up a student’s records and find out if that student has had trouble in that certain subject and if so, they ASG returns from trip ASG's first dance moderate success by Margy Lynch Staff Writer Tim Jones, ASG Vice Presi­ dent; David Nelson, ASG Admin­ istrative Assistant; and Debbie Baker, ASG Advisor, attended a leadership conference in Canada Oct. 18-21 which taught and in­ spired college leaders, The Association of College Unions International conference was regional (region 14) which consisted of speakers workshops and ideas. College students from two and four-year colleges were in attendance. The students came from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and parts of Canada and Alaska. The keynote speakers were Doug Craig, Executive Director of the Center for Positive Living, who spoke on success; and Rick Matishak, Leadership and Man­ agement Development Consult­ ant, who spoke about understand­ ing yourself and using that to help others. “[The speakers] were wonderful,” said ASG Advisor Debbie Baker. Besides the speakers, there were a variety of workshops for the students and staff to attend. The workshops were on manage­ ment skills, drug/alcohol aware­ ness, peer tutoring, wellness, and many other topics. The «inference was success­ ful according to Baker. She gained many tips and felt the others did also. “It was one of the better workshops I’ve attended in a long time," Baker expressed. Information from the confer­ ence is already being distributed and is being used to help other clubs and especially to help ASG. This information obtained at ’he conference will be used in planning events and doing things to improve Clackamas College. The entire student government will also benefit from it as they will be able to use the ideas in performing their duties. Other ASG officers and sena­ tors will be attending other vari­ ous conferences of a similar na­ ture throughout the year. • can help.

One reason Cambron gave for the low attendance was the fact that many students live away from the campus and may choose ac­ tivities closer to their homes. “Some (people) didn’t know what to expect from an ASG func­ tion and others were disappointed,” Cambron said. “1 think they ex­ pected more people to be there.

They thought we were using the money wisely.” The unfortunate thing about the grant is the government has it set up so that a college can only have the grant for five years. Then has to wait out another five years until they can qualify for it again, though there have been other colleges with good reviews that have been able to re-apply at the end of five years and were reis­ sued the grant, which is what Dickson is hoping for CCC. Other improvement plans include greater publicity of sched­ uled dances, a more creative title for the dances, and making sure the posters are clear so students don’t get confused about times or places.
