Clackamas submitted entries in the four categories of leadership, scholarship, fellowship and ser vice. Jan Baer, vice president of Phi Theta Kappa, and Dave Arter, co advisor, had the opportunity to travel to Florida and receive the awards. Clackamas placed in the top 25 for both leadership and service. “I couldn’t be more pleased for them,” said Arter. In addition Clackamas rose to 14 in national ranking, up from 63. There were approximately 500 col leges competing. Clackamas also received the In ternational Distinguished Chapter Award, which was based on the overall honor society program at Clackamas. “I’m just so proud of the stu dents,” said Arter. All of their hard work resulted in this.” Phi Theta Kappa is an interna tional honor society for two year, junior colleges. It is one of the oldest and largest with 1,200 col leges participating in the society from all over the United States, Canada, Japan, U.S. territorial pos sessions and military installations abroad.

Students gathered Monday, April 24 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to participate in Rock the Vote, an Associated Student Government (ASG) event designed to foster awareness among the public re garding their rights and responsi bilities as voters. The ASG set up booths to allow convenient voter registration and access to informational pamphlets about candidates and issues. From 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Clackamas students could listen to music played by Zeke, a DJ from Sound Express, and enjoy a BBQ with games and free gifts. John Thorton, US District Attorney of fice candidate, appeared as the event’s open speaker. ASG sponsored the event in stead of MTV, who had sponsored it in years past. They hoped that the entertainment would draw crowds who could be influenced to vote through the speaker and MIKE POLLOCK / Clackamas Prim Students join in a bonding game at the Rock the Vote sponsored by the information available. “Basically, I figure that if there’s music and food and people gather, that’s what we want: more people to vote,” said Mariah Kreinhader, ASG student access officer. The event was fairly success ful, with 69 people registering to vote. ■'---------- Upcoming Campus Events .
