Hunger awareness hits home for students By Felicia Skriver The Clackamas Print Hunger awareness is brought to Clackamas Community College by the efforts of the associated student government and the Oxfam organization. Oxfam was founded in 1995 by a group of independent nongovernmental organizations. The group is an international confederation composed of 17 different organizations networked together in 92 countries. The event on May 31 was coordinated to make our population aware of the striking hunger problem that not only affects foreign countries, but also how it hits home in Clackamas County. “I was low-income at one time so I feel it’s my duty to give back what I can,” said student Susan Wonderly. “I think everyone should be aware of
hunger.” The structure of the event was designed so that when one would check-in for the luncheon, they would receive a card that specified what class of citizen they were to be. The lower class would sit on the floor, and middle class at tables. As the rows of tables got closer to the back wall the classes rose. The amount and varieties of the lunches were also organized according to class. The high income diners were served every food group. They enjoyed a variety of beverages, deli sandwiches and fresh fruit. These lunch goers were also served promptly while the other classes had to wait to have their meals that at the lowest income level was a ladle of communal water and one spoonful of plain white rice. These poorest of the attendees also had to wait the longest to satiate their hunger. Please see HUNGER, Page 3
Hall of Fame honors outstanding athletic alumni By Emily Rask Associate Sports Editor At the end of each year, Clackamas Community College has taken the time to honor some of the outstanding athletes and teams that have passed through the athletic department. The annual Athletic Hall of Fame (HOP), which will take place this Saturday, June 9, is in its third year, but isn’t a new idea. “This was the dream of former athletic director Jim Jackson,” said Jim Martineau, current Director of Athletics. “After he retired and I took over, we worked together with the CCC Foundation to plan the first ever Athletic Reunion and Hall of Fame Event. That was in June 2010.” “A ton of planning and work goes into it,” said Martineau. “First off, we have a selection committee (chaired by Jim Jackson). Their job is to review the nominations and select
who gets into the HOF for the upcoming year. After we decide who gets selected, the real work starts. Lots of time is spent locating former athletes and coaches, and lots of time is spent promoting the event to our alumni.” This year the HOF will cost $40 per person and to get a sponser table of eight will be $500. There will be a no-host bar at this event that will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Dinner will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. as well as the indiction of this year’s honorees. The host of the HOF this year will be former CCC President John Keyser. Martineau also added, “The hard work is planning the event. Kayla Steen will spend countless hours on the following: producing the program, getting the plaques designed and ordered, working with our publications department on the prints that will be on our HOF board, planning the meal, working with the foundation
on registering individuals and selling sponsored tables. She also works with facilities and campus services to plan setup of the gymnasium for the night.”
