In November, Clackamas Community College issued a notice to terminate an agreement between the college and the ELC which is located on the campus. The ELC was given a year to make changes in its management and fiscal outlook beforethe notice couldbe reversed. In May, the college will review the actions and changes made by the ELC to see if an agreement be tween the two can be renegotiated. If not, it will be reviewed again in November. “I don’t think we’ll take back the notice to terminate in May, but the ELC is making progress and hopefully by No vember, we’ll be able to renegoti ate,” said Chuck Scott, Assistant Dean of Instruction and College Liaison to the ELC. “Some of the changes we wanted to see involved the use of people from correctional facili ties and that has been taken care of,” Scott said. “We wanted them to im prove their fiscal management, and although they aren’t out of the woods yet, they are making progress,” Scott continued. Other changes include the overall management of the ELC. Former director Gerry Hermann, who had been on vaca tion for thepast few months, turned in an official notice of resignation recently. The position of director will be filled before it comes time to renegotiate the agreement with the college. “The ELC has been run by board management, headed by Sandi'Fox, for the past couple of months, and they will hire some one to take over die directorship,” Scott said. Scott is encouraged by the Changes being made at the ELC and emphasizes the similar goals set by Clackamas. “I want to make it clear, the college supports the ELC and what it is set up to do. We have a similar mission and goals,” he said. “The College has had plenty of access to the facilities at the ELC, and we would like to have more oversight in what goes on there,” Scott concluded.

The Cougars have won the Southern Conference three out of the last five years, and have won 27 out of their last 28 league games. Those stats alone have Kiser already preparing for next season. Kiser said that die team will be losing some quality play ers, and that recruiting will be a key for next season. “We are one of the only teams left that recruit only in Oregon.
