Alpha Xi Zeta, Clackamas’
honor society chapter of Phi Theta
Kappa, received several national
awards over the weekend at the
international convention, held in
Orlando, Florida.
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.
If you are interested in joining
Clackamas’ chapter of Phi Theta
Kappa, you must have earned at
least 12 credits, have a 3.5 cumula
tive G.P.A., fill out an application
form and have an instructor’s rec
ommendation. Applications are
due by May 3. For more informa
tion contact Dave Arter at ext. 2210.
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

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.
