Cafeteria to
Be remodeled
•EAVES FALL, WATER FALL--Autumn provides a visually spectacular time to tour
he many waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge highway.
By the request of students in a
recent survey, a new cafeteria
serving area has been design­
ed. Construction on the new
area begins Dec. 1, less than
25 days before Christmas. The
survey was conducted last
May, and Donald Fisher,
Facilities Development and
Planning Officer had plans
drawn up of a new area.
Enlarged, the new serving
area will have two lines serving
students: a hot. food line and a
cold food line. “This system is
similar to other college
cafeterias,” said Fisher of the
project.
The new cafeteria is costing
the College $67,000. “Barring
any problems, the widened
cafeteria will be open for stu­
dent and faculty use by the first
day of Winter term,” Fisher
said.
The construction work
begins Dec. 1. What will the
College do for food for the last
18 days of class? Npi: starve,
“ that’s ror sure." Ninety percent
of the food cooked and sold in
the cafeteria will be c'ooked and
sold in the concession stand in
Randall Halt Students and
faculty will be purchasing food
concession-stand
style.
“There’s enough seats for 100
people in Randall Hall and all
of the seats in the present
cafeteria will be usable,” said
Fisher.
“All of the food will be cook­
ed in the concesssion stand. If
one wanted - to sit in the
cafeteria, you will have to take
your food over to there,”-
Fisher said.
Changes are also taking
place just outside the cafeteria,
as another portion of the col­
lege is undergoing a facelift this
winter.
Improvements will be con­
centrated in the central mall
area between Barlow Hall and
the Community Center, accor­
ding to Andy Rice, a landscape
architect with landscape Plann­
ing Associates of Oregon City.
In response to campus
design problems identified by
an ad hoc committee consisting
of members of the College art
advisory board, the College
community, and the public.
The biggest improvements will
be seen in the courtyard area,
Rice reported.
The plans, approved by the
College board in July, include
removing the cement retaining
wall lining the west-southwest
portion of the courtyard and
replacing it with a sloping
grassy knollThe restructuring
will serve to soften the stark
division between the upper and
lower levels of the courtyard
and to make the area more
usable, Rice explained.
A small permanent stage is
planned for the northeastern
corner of the courtyard,
creating an amphitheatre for
musical events, theatre,
ceremonies and other formal
occasions. The upper level at
the southeastern corner will
become a garden.
The central mall im­
provements are expected to be
complete by the summer .
fter election defeat
ollege picks up tax pieces
■ Faced with the Nov. 4 defeat
of it’s $8.7 million Tax Base, years and provided a continu­
Bid the expiration of it’s cur- ing financial base.
With the College receiving
|■nt Serial Levy, the College
Bill be 50 percent under- 50 percent of its funding from
Bnding after July. 1981 unless local taxes, Dr. Ronald Kaiser,
Dean of Instructional Services;-
Bnding can be secured.
■The proposed Tax Base was said, “Unless voters approve a
Brned down by a 9 percent funding request prior to July,
Bargin of 40,377 votes to there will be a substantial
34,677 votes. Dr. John W. reduction in the College’s abili­
Bakanson,, College President ty to prpvide programs and ser­
Bmmented, “The issue wasn’t vices to the District.”
The College has been forced
Bell understood; 8,000 people
Bdn’t even bother to mark the to put a hold on future con­
Ta Base page when they struction projects, Bill Ryan,
Bted.” If the Tax Base had Dean of College„Services,
Bssed, it would have been the commented. “We currently
Bollege’s first. Although it have 60 percent of the instruc­
would have made no change in tional space that we will need in
the Budget Levy tax rate erf eight years,” HakanSSn con­
«1.90 per thousand assessed tinued. “If we continue at our
Bluation, the Tax Base would present rate erf growth,-we will
Bve covered the operational need at least 200,000 addi­
Bd constructional costs of the tional square feet before the
■allege for the next 3 to 5 end of the decade. The rational
method of growth is to build in
steps. We can’t just wait until
1990 to build the space we will
need.” Under the defeated Tax
Base a Theater and Library
Complex, an Auto Instructions
Lab and an Administrations
Building had been planned for.
“The College’s Board of
Education, has only two im­
mediate options for future
funding-a rate based Serial
Levy or a Standard Levy,”
Ryan explained, “and neither
will provide for future construc­
tion.”
If the College Board is to
secure funds by levy before Ju­
ly 1981, it will need to place a
measure on the--February 17
ballot, and make a decision
concerning that before January
11. Ryan expects the Board to
consider future funding at the
next few meetings.
