Head Coach Paul Fiskum said. “They battled and battled and never said die. They have done them selves and Clackamas Community College proud.” Clackamas sought to defend the champi onship it won last season with a final match up against Lower Columbia, but the Red Devils ended the dream with a 9-1 win over Clackamas. This year’s NWAACC champi onship is the seventh for the dominant Lower Columbia squad in eight years. Clackamas opened tournament play on Friday against Edmonds CC and made quick work of their opponent, scoring 11 runs in the top of the first inning enroute to a 25-1 pasting of the Lady Tritans.

Fashion show raises awareness, donations LEFT: Student volunteer Lucas Adams helps out during the ASG Clothes Closet fashion show. ASG hopes to continue the closet next year.

Megan Koler The Clackamas Print Raising awareness of the ASG Clothes Closet was the purpose of last Wednesday’s fashion show. “Last term the [Clothes Closet] was real ly popular,” said ASG Community Relations Senator Hillary Fletcher. “This term we needed some way to get the word out” They erected a catwalk in the midst of the club fair last Wednesday, where for ten minutes various student volunteers showed off the variety of clothing the closet had acquired. “I think it went really well... we were ready for more,” said Fletcher about the amount of activities publicizing the Clothes Closet When at the end of the show a male volun teer walked on the catwalk in a girl’s top, the majority of the organizers felt the show had run its course. ‘We were only planning on running it for 10 to 15 minutes, even though it was advertised as being an hour long,” said Fletcher. The clubs were challenged that day to donate the most clothes in honor of the fashion show. The clubs that donated the most clothing received prizes of $40 for first place, $30 for second and $20 for third. “The placing for the contest was: first place the Criminal Justice club, second the Rainbow Club and third Phi Theta Kappa,” said Fletcher. Normally, most of the day-to-day donations are from staff members and not from students. The students seem to be the ones receiving instead of giving. “There are three students that come in fre quently that live in tents on the river in Portland,” explained Fletcher. Donations to the Clothes Closet can be made in room 152 in the Community Center. The hours are Monday and Fridays 9-10 a.m. and 1-3 pan. “At this point, there haven’t been any discus sions about keeping the Clothes Closet open during the summer,” said Fletcher, “but it will be open next year.” Photos by Adam J. Manley Clackamas Print College celebrates retirees, goes to ‘jail’ Sam Krause The Clackamas Print College President Joe Johnson danced and hopped and skipped to a faculty band that serenaded the large group gathered in Gregory Forum last Wednesday to celebrate the col lege’s 2006 retirees. “It’s a happy occasion. There’s over 250 years of experience in this room,” said Johnson. “But it’s sad to see so much history leave.” The theme for the celebra tion was the Wild West, but since few to no faculty mem bers wore western attire, retir ees were easily noticeable in their mismatched cowboy hats and daily attire. Before anything could start, the “jail” was opened. The jail was a comer of the room blocked off by black paper tape. Only administrators could be put in jail, and only if anoth er faculty member paid to put them there for one dollar per minute. Once imprisoned an inmate could pay their way out or sit in there until their time ran out. All the money went to the ClassifiedMemorial Scholarship Endowment. The scholarship helps classified employees (non-faculty or administration) who are continuing their educa tion pay for their classes. The celebration started with a video presentation recogniz ing each retiree individually. Please see RETIREES, Page 3
