Deadline causes ELC to make changes
■Management hopes to
ensure its place on campus
by Maury Webber
The Print Editorial Staff
With the mid-year dead
line to review the notice of termi
nation fastly approaching, the En
vironmental Learning Center is
making changes to ensure its place
on campus.
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.
Kiser captures Coach-of-the- Year award ... again

Clackamas Cougars’
men’s basketball Coach Royce
Kiser was recently named
NWAACC Coach-of-the-Year.
The Cougars finished the
season undefeated in Southern
Kiser has won
three championships
during his career as a
basketbail coach, and
this marks his second
Coach-of-the-Year
award.
Conference play. Kiser noted that
to his knowledge, this is only the
second time in the 30-year history
of the conference that a team went
undefeated. 'The Cougars then
went on to the NWAACC tourna
ment where they brought home
the championship trophy. Kiser
said this year’s success was due to
hard work by his players.
Kiser has been coaching
basketball for 28 years, the last 16
years at Clackamas. Kiser has
won three championships in his
career. In 1968 he led Powers
High School to a Class B state
championship. Kiser’s other two
were NWAACC titles here. This
is also Kiser’s second NWAACC
Coach-of-the-Year award. Kiser
said that the award is nice, but it’s
something he really doesn’t get
too excited about
“You are only the best if
you have the quality players, ’’said
Kiser.
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. That way you can
see and know what you are get
ting,” he said.
When asked if Kiser felt
next year will turn out as good as
this one, Kiser said, “Hard to say..
The only way to match it is if we get
real quality out of our players.”
Kiser is always quick to
note that the players are the ones

Thousands of girls across
America will participate in the
second annual “Take Our Daugh
ters to Work Day” April 28, ac
cording to the Ms. Foundation for
Women.
This event encourages
mothers, fathers and other inter
ested adults to take a girl to work
with them for one day. The col
lege is participating in "Take Our
Daughters to Work Day" by spon
soring a luncheon for participants
in the Gregory Forum.
One of the many goals of
this eventis to help young girls see
that there is a place for them in
higher education and that they
can be successful in careers.
In a study of youngsters
in grades three through 12, the
girls were asked to imagine them
selves as boys and boys were told
to imagine themselves as girls.
“Most of the girls... felt
that their lives would improve if
they became boys. They felt they
would gain freedom, social status,
self-worth and value in their par
ents’ eyes,” writes Karen John
son, author of Trusting Ourselves:

tional Well-Beingfor Women.
Anna Quindlen, a na
tional newspaper columnist, said
that "a survey by the American
Association of University Women
three years ago showed, that "the
self-esteem, confidence and ex
pectations of girls go south during
adolescence in a much more pre
cipitous way than for their male
counterparts. ***
Staff and students are en
couraged to participate in the event
and bring a daughter, granddaugh
ter or niece to the college on that
day.. Interested persons can call
Becky Carnahan at ext. 2205 to
get printed materials about the
event, and to make luncheon res
ervations. The luncheon is free to
participants.
