The speech and debate team placed fourth out of 37 teams, in a tournament held in Sacramento, Cali fornia the weekend of Feb. 25-28. The Western States Communica tion Association Speech arid Debate Tournament brought 37 schools from all across the nation to California. Most of the schools were four year schools, including UCLA, Berkley, New York, University of Florida and The University of Illinois. “We were up against some real tough competition,” said head coach of Forensics, Kelly Brennan. Brennan explained that one rea son he chose to send the team to this tournament was so they could get experience needed for the Jr. College Nationals, which will be held in April and hosted by Clackamas. At the Tournament Clackamas rose to the challenge capturing many individual awards as well as a fourth place overall. According to Brennan, Matt Steketee placed fourth in Impromptu Speech and was awarded ninth speaker of overall debate, out of about 200 people. Katherine Steckmann placed fourth in Poetry Reading. Amorita Patterson placed third in Impromptu Speaking and fifth in Dramatic In terpretation. She was the only per son from a junior college to make it to the finals in this category. Roxanne Johnson made it to the semi-finals and placed 16th over all in Impromptu. Samantha Griffen and Kendra Hazen placed 11th overall in the Double Octa final round of Debate. Melissa Stivers placed third in Communication Analysis and made it to the final round of Persuasion placing third overall. “I could not have asked for any thing else,” commented Brennan on the accomplishments of each individual and the team as a whole. According to Brennan, a lot of effort is put into what each indi vidual does. Every team member is required to attend mandatory practice 9 hours a week. One great experience that mem bers take home from tournaments such as this one is that judges give critiques giving participants an opportunity to improve their work. ASG travels to Washington D.C. for ASACC conference JAMES GOULD Contributing Writer The American Student Associa tion of Community Colleges (ASACÇ) conference is here. ASACC says it “...is the only na tional student government network representing exclusively the interests of 12 million community college stu dents across the United States.” The ASACC conference is held every year in Washington D C. The conference is held every year to make students such as yourself aware of all the issues that affect community colleges. This year Toni McMichael- member of the Print, Rachel Bourasa- Childcare senator, Glorianne Muggli- Childcare officer, Mariah Kreinheder- student access officer, Bryan Fuentez- administrative assistant, and James Gould- student body president will be representing CCC students at the ASACC conference March, 18-212000. Also eight other community colleges will be repre senting Oregon. The reason that your representa tives will be in Washington D.C. is to attend workshops that will better the way your student government runs and better the way in which they help you with the issues. Also your representatives will lobby with your congress people such as Ron Wyden on the issues currently at hand such as childcare which affects a large majority of community col lege students who are single par ents. ASACC says “currently there are only 250 federally funded Childcare block grants for the state of Oregon and over 900 families are on the waiting list for the grant.” Another major issue is to increase funding on the federal level to raise the maximum Pell Grant amount from$3,300 to $3,700 an increase of $400. The efforts that your repre sentatives put out at the ASACC conference will vastly improve the benefits for the students now and in the future generations who attend community colleges in Oregon. Also your representatives will do the very best job that they can do look ing out for your interests as the stu dent attending Clackamas. Even though ASACC is a nationally known organization it can’t do any thing without your support. When your representatives suc ceed at the their goals in Washing ton DC they will pave the way for better student services, more repre sentatives to go back next year and push even harder for increasing the childcare block grant, increase the Pell Grant and even reducing the debt burden a little more. Your student government is here for you and they will make the most of every opportunity they have at making your lives a little easier. If you have any questions or com ments, contact your student govern ment at ext. 2247 or come to CC140. They would be glad to answer any thing you have concerns about. FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE WINTER TERM 2000 March 13-18 I kissed a toad and become a prince... Class Day/ Time Wait. Wrong story. This is my final FYI. Friday is my last day at Clackamas; Monday is my first day working for the Beaverton School District. Who will edit FYI in the future is uncertain, but in the meantime, send any information you want published to Anne Donelson at 2453. Leaving Clackamas is maybe the hardest thing I've done, along with the reset of my dislocated finger. That was tough. I have many good friends here, and I've made some very exceptional friends. You know who you are. People rarely have the opportunity to offer a college wide message on their way out the door. Such is the power of the press, I guess. Unfortunately, all that comes to mind is what I tell my children (they hate this) every morning when I put them on the school bus: "Have fun. Be good. Learn lots. " I'll miss you all. -Dan 7:45 or 8a M W F or M W Tuesday Dec. 7 8-10a lOa-noon 11a or 11:30a noon or 12:45 p noon-2p southern bistro cooking 301 s.e. morrison ~ 234.1324 dinner: sun-thurs 6:00pm - 2:00am fri-sat 6:00pm - 4:00apn lunch: mon-rfri 11:00 - 2:00 10a -noon noon-2p lp 2p Wednesday Dec. 8 8-10a 9a 10 a or 10:15a 2-4p feeXyour summer to-do ^AJist look like this? 3 p or 3:15p 4p or 5p 7:30a or 8a T TH Monday Dec. 6 montage 9a 10a or 10:30a 4-6p 8-10a noon-2p 2-4p 2:30p or 3p 4-6p CONFLICTS MpalesCreek Camp Fountìation-ÌOT Children with Diabetes 10-noon lp 4p or 5p 2-4p Male Camp Counselor - Summer If you love hiking, swimming, and sports, and most importantly, kids, then we have a good - summer position for you.
