The game show is a spin off of the television hit “Make Me Laugh.” The show featured three famous comedians. T.J. McCormick and Duane Clark have both performed on MTV’s “Half/ Hour Comedy Hour.” Andre Brown, the other comedian, will be featured on a new crime drama named “Homicide.” The Associated Student Government-sponsored event seemed to attract a lot of atten tion. The objective of the show was to have contestants come up and test their ability to withhold laughter under extremely hilari ous conditions. The comedians tried to make the contender show some sort of response to his jokes in a minute. In turn, the players attempted to suppress their natu ral instinct of laughter. If the student was successful during the one minute challenge, he/she was able to spin the big money wheel for a chance at 30 duckets (that’s dollars folks). The contestants were able to take their money to the bank, or risk their new life savings for another crack at the “wheel of fortune” (not to beconfused with Vanna and Pat’s). The comedians received a good response from the crowd, who seemed to be having a great time. “It’s (the contest) a good idea. It gives students extra money if they win,” Jenny Johnson, a fresh man at Clackamas, said. Among all of the players that participated in yesterday’s fes tivities, three came out on top. Carol Wright won all of three bucks, from her feat of keeping from laughing during her first minute of competition. She grabbed two more with her chance at the wheel. Debbie Sermuks took home nine dollars with her two challenges of the different comedians. The man of the hour was none other than Trey Fors man, who made out like a bandit with $22. The purpose of the event was to get the students of CCC moti vated about the different events ASG puts together. “We try to draw as many students to the different events. This seemed like it would draw a lot of attention,” Shane Baumhardt, an ASG officer, ^tvey-pplls ford ¡lemmas byJeffKçmp Staff X ' .

Blood drive successful by Hafidha Acuay Staff Writer The Associated Student Government and the American Red Cross are sponsoring a win terblood drive at Clackamas Feb. 17 in the Gregory Forum. The blood drive is the second here this school year. The first took place in October and was very successful according to Cheron McGuffey, ASG execu tive secretary and coordinator of the event. “We more than met our goal last time.” Expectations are high for this drive, and the goal has been raised from 65 units to 75 units of blood. McGuffey is hoping the higher objective can be reached. “The blood drive itself will be a little more organized,” she said. She went on to explain that at the beginning of the school year, things around campus are some what hectic. “Usually the Spring and Winter Term drives are more successful than the fall ones,” McGuffey said. Also, the drive will take place in the Gregory Forum, where “we’ll have a little more room and there’ll be less traffic,” McGuffey said. More cots will be set up so people shouldn’t have to wait as long as they might have in the past. The ASG and Red Cross strongly urge students and fac ulty to donate blood. As many as four people can benefit from one donation. Giving blood is a safe procedure; a person cannot con tract AIDS of any other disease from doing so. One can donate blood every 56 days, so if you donated during the Fall Term drive, you may do so again. This term’s blood drive runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. All who are able are encouraged to take part in the event.
