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,”

and “If you don’t stop (making the
decision to have premarital sex)
you’re no better than a dog in
heat.”
■ I find it appalling to hear
a man that spreads the word of
God and preaches the rewards of
love and strong relationships, cut
ting down the very hopes of the
thousands of Americans that are
infected with HTV. “They’ve (sci
entists) never found a cure for a
lenti virus (AIDS),” McDowell
said.
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.
