J. | ' | ' Clackamas Community College INSIDE Features c ASG charity program continues by Tina McFarland Staff Writer Only one week remains to participate in the Associated Stu dent Government sponsored Giv ing Tree program. When the Giving Trees started, ASG hung about 60 tags on the trees, and there are only about 20 left according to Legis lative Director Jarrod Scheiffele. “The tags are going so fast, we are having a hard time keep ing them on the trees. When we put the tags on the tree in the Community Center, they were all gone in an hour,” Scheiffele said. Because of the high demand for tags, ASG President Amy Gaskell has asked for more tags from the Salvation Army. The Ornamental Horticulture program donated more trees to campus buildings which were to be set up last Monday. Many offices on campus took advantage of the opportunity to have table top trees in their of fices, so they could get the char ity “into littler areas where they don’t have access to a big tree,” Scheiffele said. In fact, “The President’s office showed such an interest that they requested their own large tree,” Scheiffele said. All tags must be turned in with a new unwrapped gift by the last day of school. This is the 11th annual cho ral concert put on by the col lege’s choral and chamber choirs. Director Lonnie Cline initiated this tradition 11 years ago and said that for the last several years the concert has been so well at tended that it has been offered standing room only. “It is one of the better per formances of the year,” Cline said as he compared the Christ mas by Candlelight performance to the rest of the concerts per formed by the two choirs through out the year. The two choirs, accompa nied on the organ and piano by Wendy Prairie, have prepared an array of Christmas selections. During the performance, the choirs will feature music by art ists Povlenc, Monteverdi and Olsson as well as a variation of traditional religious carols such as “The First Noel” and “Angels We Have Heard on High.” Stu dent director Aaron Nelson will lead the choirs in the traditional carols. During Christmas, Cline said, “You have a lot of wonderful music to choose from and doing it by candlelight is really neat.” Many soloists wilt be fea tured. One of the soloists will perform a composition written by Clackamas student Jason Womack. He has composed a piece he titled “Kyrie,” which he will perform during the evening. “Kyrie” is part of a mass Wom ack is currently finishing. Cline said all his choral and chamber singers have been work ing diligently this term to pre pare for the Christmas by Can dlelight Concert. “They are working really hard because the music has been really difficult this term,” Cline explained. The site of the concert, The First United Methodist Church, is located at 811 Center Street, Oregon City. Director Cline encourages everyone to come, and asks all who attend to bring one can of food to be donated to the needy. “We will be ready to present a wonderfiil program,” Cline said. “It will be great.” $1.8 million grant provides funds for college's leadership course by Claudia Smulders Staff Writer Last spring Clackamas was one of 57 colleges chosen to participate in the initial phase of a $1.8 million Kellogg Founda tion grant to Phi Theta Kappa’s Leadership Development pro gram.. The W.K. Kellogg Founda tion was established in 1930 to ‘help people help themselves.’ As a private grant making foun dation, it provides seed money to organizations and institutions that have identified problems and have designed constructive action programs aimed at solutions. The foundation supports pro grams in broad areas such as: agriculture, education, health, leadership and youth. The grants concentrate on helping program ing priorities in the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean and southern Africa. The leadership development course will be taught during Winter Term as ED 121, with WR 121 required for enrollment. The course will be limited to 20 stu dents. Because of the grant, students won’t have to pay for any course materials. Some topics covered by this course will include empowering others, building trust exercises, time management, leading by serving and resolving conflicts. “Being a good leader is about accomplishing something and getting recognition for it,” stated Norm Bemey, ASG advisor and one of the two men who are going to teach this course. “We’re lacking of leadership in the U.S. right now, we need to train our leaders,” says Bemey. According to Dave Arter, Phi Theta Kappa advisor and the other class instructor, students should have several reasons to attend this class. “It’s going to be a fun class. It’s unique in the wide variety of materials and techniques used to teach the art of leadership,” said Arter. Readings from classics and excerpts from modem films, commercially available assess ment surveys, role playing and creative writing will be used for the course. “It’s interesting to see how the examples from the classics relate to now,” said Bemey. The class will not be ran like traditional classrooms. There will be a lot of discussions and inter actions among students and teach ers. Both instructors feel that the class will do a lot of good for students in their careers and per sonal lives.
