Senior housing project proffered By David J. Hayden ■hie Print ■The College board cleared the way for the United Labor ■tire ment Association to fur ther develop the plan for elder ly; housing on Campus by ap- proving a “memorandum of understanding” at the May 13 Board of Education meeting. The memorandum will allow the ULRA to seek federal funds and grants to finance the con struction of a senior housing facility. The board also agreed, in concept, to give the ULRA a 40-year lease for the College property to be used. Dr. John Hakanson, College president, commented that passage of the project concept would permit the ULRA to start developing specifics of the pro posal. The College, according to Hakanson, should view the project as an opportunity to provide training’ programs in health care, housing facilties management and food preparation. Casting the only dissenting vote, board member Larry Wright of Canby voiced his concern over losing the proper ty at a time when the student population is growing and .the current College facilities are overcrowded. “Our recreation fields are already overused, crowded on weekends,” Wright said. “We need the room for future growth.’* Board members Bonnie Jones of Estacada and Ann Nickel of Milwaukie were not present for the vote. In other business, the board debated for more than an hour on policy for funding new and replacement equipment. A review of the existing repair and equipment schedule was requested by Nickel. The board then, unanimously approved a motion by board member Ralph Groener of Oregon City that the board not - approve' new programs until and unless the equipment needs of existing prograrite are adequately funded. Nickel expressed concern that an equipment replacement and repair schedule be main tained and funded on à con tinual basis. The discussion was tabled until the June board meeting to give the members time to develop their individual posi tions. In other action, the board approved a resolution calling for bids on the campus pro gram moves and relocation plans, rejected all current con struction bids for a livestock facility because of irregularities in the bidding process, and ap proved a salary increase for part-time, non-credit instruc tors.

The Associated Student Government recently appointed and confirmed its only currently handicapped senator, Jay Schaller:. Schaller was bom .in 1959 with cerebral palsy, a disability stemming from- damaged motor centers of the brain, causing muscular uncoordina tion. Growing up in Portland, he attended Wilson High School until 1977 when he began stu dying computer programming at Portland Community Col lege and received his GED in 1978. Last fall, he transferred to CCC and changed his major to psychology. Last term, Schaller decided to study special education and is currently enrolled in a pjrac- ticum course working in local group homes for the handicap- ’ ped. Schaller first took an interest in student government a few months ago. He said he went to newly elected ASG Presi dent Sam Crosby and offered his assistance. Crosby pointed ^out that there were two vacant senate seats, and on April 30, the ASG nominated Schaller to the senate. “We’re happy Jay accepted our invitation,” said Crosby. “He’ll be an asset to us because he’s got a little spunk in him, and having minorities (han dicapped students) involved will broaden everyone’s perspective on what’s needed on campus.” Crosby added, “Everyone’s willing to work with Jay because of his will ingness to work with us.” Schaller said he is excited about being involved in student government. “It’s important to me because it’s another learn ing experience and a chance to learn more about the school and how it works. I’ve found that the government does more than I thought it did before I got involved,” said Schaller. “They help a lot of on-campus ac tivities with finances and organization.” Currently, Schaller is aiding the ASG in the planning and organization of the all-school picnic on dupe 5, an on- campus food drive scheduled for June (with no definite date inumi11 Illi PHOTO SPECIAL! i i t i i i r F i ■ i "i m 2nd Set of Color Prints When you have your 110, 126 or 135 color print film (C41 compatible) developed and printed at our regular low price—3x size Code */25 LIMITED TIME OFFER Offer good May 20-27 in CCC Bookstore.
