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

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
