moves on
Dan McCue, communication
specialist, has left Clackamas af
ter six years, to work for the
Beaverton School district.
McCue was hired in 1995, as
the Community Relations Com
munications Specialist. His jobs
included; producing FYI a
weekly staff newsletter and
gathering information from hu-
manities, and Professional
Technical programs; where he
helped with program marketing
and wrote grants.
“We miss him,” said Corky
Kirkpatrick, Community Rela
tions Director. “We really did
enjoy him.”
Thefollowing was printed in
the March 1, FYI edition...
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

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.
