Troy Kerr, self-professed

committee which picked both

take place on May 4. The ASG
will be hosting “The 1990 Clacka­
mas Community College Come­
dyfest” at 8 p.m. for a two hour
concert.
There will be eight comedi­
ans, including Smith and Thirdg­
ill, who will be performing in the
CC Mall. Advance tickets are $3
and $4 at the door.
Kerr hopes to hold an ama­
teur comedy contest in conjunc­
tion with the “Comedyfest” at
Clackamas. The winner will be
the host for the “night of comedy”
on May 4, and could be a catapult
to fame for those amateur Clacka­
mas comedians interested.
If a positive response is seen
at the May 4 event, Kerr believes
that more “Comedyfests” could
take place during the school year.
Kerr commented that he is really
hoping for a big turnout, more
than previous events scheduled.
Those who would like more
information on the “Comedyfest”
or the amateur comedy contest
should contact Troy Kerr in the
ASG office at ext. 247.

Clackamas Print editor Titus to resign
by Aaron Brown
Staff Writer
After two terms as the Edi-
tor-in-Chief Of The Clackamas
Print, Jim Titus, 23, has resigned
from his position, due to academic
reasons.
“Since I have lost interest, I
don’t think I would do the paper
justice by remaining [editor],”
commented a demoralized Titus.
Titus believes that he has
become “burned out” by working
on staff for the past four terms,
but more importantly, he has had
to make academic sacrifices in
order to be Editor.
“I think the editor can really
get bogged down,” stated Titus.
After being editor, Titus has
come to realize that a job in the
newspaper industiy will no longer
be an option. Yet, his desire to
write has not been soured.
During his tenure, Titus has
cited other reasons for the prob­
lems he has experienced. Titus
believes the current Student Ac­
tivities policy towards compensa­
tion for the editorial position is
not adequate.
“It is a sad fact that it takes
money to exist, and it sounds
mercenary, but time is money,”
said Titus.
The current compensation for
the position of Editor is a tuition
waiver, yet, according to Titus, this
is almost ironic, since the editor
cannot take full advantage of this.
Titus started with 18 credits dur­
ing Fall term, but had to cut his
credits to 12 when the load be­
came too much.
Also, with the current Stu­
dent Activities policy, Titus be­
lieves that you will get one of two
types of editors.
“...[the paper will] either get
good people who will put an ef­
fort in, or mediocre people,” stated
Titus.
Titus added that the editor
can only put the paper, studies, or
a social life first, unless you are an
incredible person. Titus regretta­
bly chose the first.
