In men’s basketball action:
Cougars get an ‘A’ for midterm performance
by Jesse Sowa
Sports Writer
The men’s basketball team
definitely receives an ‘A’ for
their hard work in turning the
flagging season around.
Spectators were able to take
a break from mid-term stress to
applaud the two-game home
wins the Cougars recently came
up with.
The Cougars held off a late
second-half run by Portland
Community College Jan. 25 to
beat the Panthers 90-85.
Clackamas had to come from be
hind on Saturday to defeat Lane
CC 73-69.
In the game against PCC,
the Cougars got off to a slow
start, but still managed to main
tain the lead throughout most of
the first half. The Panthers
stayed in the game during the
first half with some great out
side shooting by their guards.
Kenny Walker hit Jay
Moore for a lay-in, and Walker
added a jumper and two foul
shots of his own to give
Clackamas a 24-17 advantage
with 9:30 remaining in the first
half.
Moore nailed a three-pointer
off a Ryan Coffey pass and an 18-
footer from the comer for a 29-
19 lead. Jawanza Hadley came off
the bench late in the first half to
score six points and help the Cou
gars maintain a 44-36 advantage.
Moore' hit a lot of good open
shots for 15 points in the first half
after Portland sank back in a zone.
“They sagged off of me and I
just put them up and they just
luckily they went down,” he said..
Moore also grabbed a ton of
rebounds in the first 20 minutes
to keep his team in the game.
“Coach Kiser just tells me to
go to the outside boards,” said
Moore. “I just listen to coach. He’s
always right.”
Jay Lassen and Aaron
Pearson provided most of the
spark for Clackamas early in the
second half.
Pearson hit two jumpers and
a pair of free throws while Lassen
added three baskets off of re
bounds and three foul shots to
give the Cougars a 66-46 advan-

Scholarship provides child care for students
by Christi Snavely
Opinion Editor
Here is the question: What do
you do when you cannot afford to
go to school because you lack
funds for quality child care?
That exact question has been
a matter of concern to our ASG.
In fact, they have made it a prior
ity as one of their many goals this
year.
The Child Care Scholarship
program began fall term of ’94 by
purchasing two full-time slots at
the Family Resource Center. The
slots were then divided into seven
part-time child care scholarships.
“The scholarship program
provides a short-term solution to
the problem. It provides afford
able student child care,” said
Rachel Austen, vice president of
ASG.
With very limited advertis
ing, ASG received 21 applications
in one week’s time. Recipients of
the scholarships had to provide
proof of financial need for child
support, complete a minimum of
eight hours per term, maintain a
GPA of at least a 2.0 and the child
must be between six weeks to five
years of age.
“My biggest financial hurdle
has been trying to pay for child
care,” said Elizabeth Funk, a re Scholarship Committee asking committees to create this big
