HINCs by Brenda Hodgen Staff Writer Alpha Xi Zeta, Clackamas’ chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, put on the annual Oregon State Lead ership Conference last month for chapters in the Northwest. The conference was held Oct. 13-15 in the Chumaree Comfortel at Steamer’s and was attended by a total of 45 members from five Oregon chapters combined with five chapters from Washington. “Every fall a different chap ter puts on the conference, and this year it was our turn,” said Dave Arter, faculty advisor of Alpha Xi Zeta. “Technically, it (the conference) is mostly for the Oregon chapters, but we decided to invite members from Washing ton as well.” Several events were included in the conference to enhance the theme which was “The Americas: Distant Neighbors Building Bridges.” “The organization concen trates on leadership, fellowship and scholarship,” explained Ar ter. “So we held workshops, seminars, lectures, and presented guest speakers to focus on those aspects.” Some guest speakers included, Devin Helland, vice-president of Phi Theta Kappa for the West/ Northwest region; Alyce Cornyn- Shelby in a workshop titled, “What Would You Do If You Knew You Couldn’t Fail?”; and John Lin der, brother of Ben Linder who was the first American killed in Nicaragua Although the conference focused on education, the was fun to be had. “It was really an outstanding conference. I was amazed that nothing went wrong,” expressed Arter. “We had one guy set up to perform on a synthesizer and keyboard Friday night, and people were up all night having a good time. There were people whonever went to bed and we had sessions beginning at 7 a.m. Saturday.” Among the new state officers elected at the conference, is Ha rold Isackson of Alpha Xi Zeta at Clackamas, who was appointed President. Phi Theta Kappa is the only nationally acclaimed honor fra- temity serving two-year colleges, and is modeled after Phi Beta Kappa. The requirements for Alpha Xi Zeta include a 3.5 GPA with at least 12 units accomplished that count toward an Associate’s Degree, and the member must currently be enrolled in a mini mum of three units per quarter. The chapter will begin initia tion of new members during the Winter term along with several other activities. “The conference really got us fired up for the rest of the year,” said Arter. “We have two service projects that were working on. We’re going to sponsor the cam pus day care center and find out what they can usé, also we are planning to sponsor a child via ‘Save the Children.’ But, that will be something that will continue for more than one year. Our sec ond project is in combination with our sister chapter Rho Theta at M l Hood. We’re getting together soon for a night of bowling.” Anyone who is interested in the fraternity can call Dave artcr at Ext. 210. Representation for older than average students needed by Sue Payne Staff Writer Garret J. Lytle, ASG presi dent, is on the lookout for older than average students. Students over the age of 25 are needed to represent OTA (older than aver age) students at ASG meetings. In the 1988-89 school year 58 percent of the students were OTA’s, according to Sue Manzella, secre tary of the registrar’s office. Last year there were not many activities directed towards OTAs according to Lytle. “This year we are trying to make that different But that’s hard to do because a lot of the older students want a lot stuff for them, but yet there are no willing stu dents to come and do work for the older students, to represent them so we can help get it done,” Lytle said. Lytle explained that one of the reasons ASG has a hard time representing OTAs is because they do not communicate their needs to student leaders. Some of the ways a student could help are: chair a commit tee, come and present problems to the student government, put suggestions in the ASG boxes around school, apply for a posi tion next year, or just volunteer where ever it is needed. Ken In gram, assistant to the president, is the person to contact to get in volved. There arc two organizations on campus that can help older women students: Focus on Women and Displaced Homemakers. Focus on Women is a program for women that offers classes, out door activities, filmsand lectures, and cultural events to enrich women. For more information contact coordinator Donna Ford at Clackamas extension 553. Displaced Homemakers pro vides community support and struc ture for women re-entering the job market. It includes classes on increasing self-esteem, stress management, assertiveness, job search techniques, and skill as sessment.
