Chapter President Jim Newby
stated: “Hopefully, by the time
we are ready to start, the
government red tape will be
run through.”
Another project of the
Jaycees is upgrading campus
security. They are holding
training seminars for student
security officers on CPR and
First Aid. Yet another project
on the drawing board is a
rummage sale sponsored by
the Jaycees and other College
organizations.
According to state Jaycee
rules, Jaycee chapters are not
allowed to have women mem­
bers. However, the campus
Jaycees do have women
members. “This presents a
problem,” says Jim Newby.

The definition of a displaced
homemaker, according to Jane
Greene, Confidence Clinic
director and career counselor,
is a person over 30 years of age
who has worked primarily in
the home for many years and
who must now become self-
supporting as a result of a
divorce, death or disablement
of a spouse, or the loss of
government assistance.
The following services will be
available
to
displaced
homemakers sometime in mid­
February: information, referral
counseling to match them with
community resources, peer
counseling workshops and help
with job placement and training
programs.
A limited amount of money
will also be available to cover
emergency living expenses,

Five-week workshops will

and establishing career and life

The workshops will take
place Mondays through Thur­

beginning of a new session.
The central themes carry
such titles as “Breaking the

“Relationship Skills,” and
“Career and Life Planning.”

Funds from the Oregon
State Housing Division may
make possible construction of
senior citizen housing on or ad­
jacent to the College campus,
according to College President
John Hakanson, who presen­
ted the idea at the Jan. 16
College board of directors
meeting.
Hakanson, Larry Forsythe,
department chairman of aging
services, and Bill Ryan, dean of
college, services, met with
College attorneys Friday to ex­
plore possible legal aspects of
the proposal, which has been
discussed informally in the past
by administrators and faculty.
According to Forsythe, “It
looks pretty positive.” To fulfill
state requirements for funding,
the housing project must be
under the management of a
non-profit organization. In ef­
fect, the College would be the
landlord, with the State holding
mortgage. When paid off by
the tenants, the building would
become school property.
troduce a “population to the
campus who have varied
educational needs and resour­
ces of their own.” Forsythe
agrees.
“These people are possibly
looking at a second career,” he
says. “Most of them, in my ex­
perience, are excellent studen­
ts.” He objects strenuously to
the
‘‘basketweaving”
stereotype often projected onto
older people, saying, “Many of
them will want to take things
like psychology.”
Forsythe sees the projected
200 to 300 residents of the
complex as a ready-made
audience for campus plays,
movies, concerts and sporting
events, which are always crying
out for more spectators.
In terms of precedent, Lan­
tz’s memo pointed out that
while “...this concept is unique
for
a
community
col lege... there is one other of
which we are aware: Kirkland
Community College in Iowa.”
The building as currently en­
visioned would be a multi­
storied , elevator-equipped
structure with at least 10 per­
cent of the proposed 150 single
bedroom units meeting federal
handicapped
access
requirements. Some of the
building’s support systems,
such as meals, linen service
and housekeeping, might be
subcontracted by the College.
If approved by the College
board, the proposal’s first step
down the bureaucratic path
would involve the submission
of a pre-application form to the
State Housing Division. This
would not obligate the College.
If approved by the state, it
would face either final approval
or rejection by the board, and
either be shelved or resubmit­
ted to the state in the form of
an “extensive formal ap­
plication.”
Hakanson, Forsythe, and
Pat Lantz, chairperson of the
College Department of Health,
P.E. and Human Services, see
far-ranging benefits to both the
College and the community in
the proposal. They envision
greatly expanded curriculum
opportunities as well as prac­
tical work experience within the
framework of the existing nur­
sing and relatech health-care
programs.
In a Jan. 2 memo to the
board, Lantz pointed out
