With the recent drop in the mercury, the custodial, main tenance and utility costs have all been on the rise at the College. An increase in part-time help in the custodial department and maintenance personnel working day and night will cost the college a small sum in comparison to the rise in the utility bills. For the month of November 1978, utility costs at the college were approximately $18,000. But with the recent cold spell, utility costs at the college have been rising and are expected to reach about $21,000 a month, according to Bill Ryan, dean of' college services. With the increase in the custodial and maintenance costs and the rise in the cost of utilities the cold spell could cost the college an extra several thousand dollars per month for as long as it lasts. High winds at the College have also caused some Jr > **• 3» ■Z», Iw 'V BE»7 . •Ä*. * damage. Metal siding was blown loose from one of the trailers last week. The guard shack in the visitor’s parking lot was also blown over by last week’s gales. Falling limbs became a minor hazard to people walking through the trees next to the trailers during the blustery weather. An accident occured in the Clairmont parking lot during the opening week of school when a car hit a light pole in the lot and totaled out their car and the light pole. Campus Security has been kept busy during the cold spell. Locks on cars and trailers have been frozen, so people could not get into their cars or some of the trailers. And with this cold weather, people are parking as close to the buildings as possible even with the “no parking” and “handicapped” signs in view, people seem to think that it does not include them, according to Stan John son, Campus Security super visor. w Better late.

[The positions of business Rotor and art director F®ed by Montgomery and The resignation of JoAnne McCauley, ASG secretary, was read Jan. 4. That position was vacated when McCauley took a new job, as a page at the legislature in Salem. Ap plications have been taken to fill the position, but no decisions reached yet. Applicants for all three positions were screened, not only on the basis of qualifications, but on the amount of time the individual would have, and dedication to best serving the students’ needs. “We had one applicant who was very qualified, but he was also carrying 22 credit hours. We just didn’t feel he would have adequate time or energy to devote to the job,” Riggs said. “We are also trying to see dedication. We want someone who is interested in more than getting a tuition waiver.” Riggs stressed that no hard feelings entered in the rash of registrations, “although we did feel a loss.” “Mardi left because she had such a big work load this term, with her job and school,” he went on. “Sherrie is getting married, and she changed her class schedule at the same time. It was purely coincidental that they happened at the same time.” Mike McCarty, ASG president, attributed this year’s high turnover to the basic struc ture of a community college. As students are in com munity colleges, it is not so strange to have a turnover, within the student gover nment,” he said. “At least in JoAnn McCauley Takes job in Salem the senatorial positions.’’ As far as coping with it, “it is like the weather. When you have bad weather you have to take it as it comes, and make the best of it,” he said. CLACKAMAS COMMUNITY COLLEGE ARCHIVES centimeters Colors by Muriseli Color Services Lab 'S
