Skills contest and forum not just for high school students by Tina McFarland The Print Editorial Staff February 24 marks the day of the 16th annual Clackamas Regional Skills Contest Thecon- test, which is co-sponsored by CCC and Clackamas County ESD, will have representation from all Clackamas County high schools, both private and public. High school students will begin arriving on campus at ap proximately 8:30 a.m. and the competitions will begin at 9 a.m. according to Mindy Brown, cam pus coordinator. Due to the ex- pec ted large turnout and the sched ule of the contest, all day classes will be cancelled. On the agenda for this year’s contest is the third annual leadership forum. The forum will be held in the CC Mall from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Brown said this, year’s topic, volunteerism, is per-: tinent to college students as well as the high school students. According to Brown, the contest provides an opportunity for high school students who are strong in their respective areas to meet and compete with other stu dents with similar strengths and goals. In an awards ceremony to be held March 14, first-, sec ond- and third-place winners will be announced and awarded. The first-place winners may be eli gible for a one-term tuition schol arship to Clackamas Community College. “A lot of students look forward to that neat possibility. It 'Maximum Sex’ leaves little room for love byjeffl^ein^ The Print Co-Editor-in-Chief A handful of Clackamas student body and staff attended “Maximum Sex,”a video on rela tionships, sex and you, last Thurs day and Friday in the Gregory Forum (See page 1). The video featured Josh McDowell, a nationally-recog nized speaker on sex and the in fluence of religion in relation ships and life. Iwas personally relieved to hear the straightforwardness McDowell had to offer his audi ence. It is rare to see someone actually discuss the delicate sub ject so candidly. I was apprehen sive however upon learning who the sponsors of the event were (the Campus Crusade for Christ International and the Baptist Stu dent Ministries). My apprehen sions, as it turned out, were not without foundation. McDowell apparently felt that by using sexually-trans mitted diseases, he could scare his audience into abstinence. Many of Friday’s audience in the Gre gory Forum didn’t seem to buy it. He figured that even if his spiritual influence wouldn’t do the trick, throwing terrifying statistics down his listeners' throats would. Heckles and laughter were abundant toward the back of the auditorium when McDowell used such wide sweeping gener alizations as, “Let’s face it, most guys just want to hit the sheets,” THE CLACKAMAS PRINT Editors-in-Chief- Heidi Branstator, Jeff "Kemp (Ext 2576)'*.

I realize that we must not lose sight of the validity of this horrific plague Mr. McDowell, but I myself strongly believe we must never give up the hope that research will bring an end to the pain and anguish that the HIV infected suffer. Overall, the message given by the BSM and theCampus Crusade for Christ International was a good one. Heft the Gregory Forum with several good tools for my relationship. I also took with me some valuable statistics on HTV and AIDS. For that I am grateful. Is it wrong, Mr. McDowell, BSM and the Campus Crusade of Christ International, for 20-year-olds to responsibly and monogamously show one another how much they love each other? I think not. For my part, I hope I still go to heaven. Iflovinginthis way is wrong, however, I’m not sure I would want to go there anyway. - CFCU - CLACKAMAS FEDERAL CREDIT UNION INVITES CCC STUDENTS TO JOIN!
