Tuition for full-time
students will be increased to
$180 for in-state students, and
$660 for out-of-state students
starting summer term 1982.
“It’s actually a very slight
increase,” College President
John Hakanson said. The in­
crease is less than 6 percent of
the present $170 tuition a
term, he commented.
For in-state part-time
students, tuition will be $18 a
credit hour, raised $1 from pre­
sent tuition. Out-of-state tuition
will be raised to $66 a credit
hour, an increase of $4.
Nastari in for Crosby
ASG undergoes changing of guard

Last week’s Associated
Student Government meeting
was the site for the passing of
the gavel from this year’s Presi­
dent, Sam Crosby, to next
year’s, Paul Nastari.
The 1982-83 executive
cabinet was also sworn in at the
Thursday meeting. Nastari,
along with Vice-president Jay
Schaller, Activities Director
Steve Vohs, Assistant to the
President Emma Nelson and
Administrative Assistant Tracey
Johnston, swore to uphold the
constitution of the ASG. Effec­
tive immediately, Nastari will
chair the weekly ASG
meetings.
As his first official act,
Vice-President Schaller mov­
ed, and the voting body ap­
proved, to make the retiring of­
ficers voting senators for the re­
mainder of the term.
In other business, Dennis
Donin of the American Red
Cross announced that there
will be a blood drive at the Col­
lege on Tuesday, May 18.
The last blood drive netted
Red Cross 114 units (pints) of
blood. That put the College se­
cond in units accrued, behind
Mt. Hood Community College.
Like last time, the blood drive
will be held in the Community
Center, between 10 a.m. and 2
p.m. Donin said the goal is 120
units.
“We need 457 units per
day for the people in hospitals
in our area,” Donin said. The
Portland branch of Red Cross
supplies 76 hospitals.
The blood taken will be
broken down into red blood
cells, plasma and platelets.
She said, “If you live to be
72, there’s a 95 percent chance
that you will need blood at one
time or another.” ;
In other ASG business,
the voting body passed a mo­
tion made by Steve Vohs, this
year’s business manager and
next year’s activities director,
postponing a decision on the
request for money for Diana
Scharen, a French major who
will study in France Next year.
Scharen presented her re­
quest for an unspecified
amount at the April 29 ASG
meeting. At that time, it was
agreed to pass the issue on to
the Ways and Means commit­
tee. However, Vohs said that
the committee has not met as
of last Thursday.

Other topics touched
upon include:
-The Timber Fest/Hoe
Down, which is scheduled for
May 22, is proceeding well,
Vohs said. Student Activities
Director Debbie Baker warned
the student government that
the Hoe Down has to net a
minimum of $3,500, or the an­
nual awards banquet hosted by
the ASG may have to be
canceled.
—President-elect Nastari
presented the results of the re­
cent survey, held in the Com­
munity Center. The subject
was which radio station should
be played in the Center.
KGON, a hard rock, FM sta-
Son, won this survey with thirty
votes, Nastari said. The next
closest station was KINK, with
only five votes. The ASG plans
to hold at least one more
survey on the subject.
“We lost money from the
state,” Hakanson said explain­
ing the increase. “We’re not
going to collect as much pro­
perty taxes as we expected,”
At Portland Community
College, tuition is $19.25 per
credit hour; $173.25 a term for
full-time students. Mt. Hood
Community College costs
$19.50 per credit hour or $195
a term for full-timers. There is a
$44 minimum for part-time
students.
According to the minutes
from the College’s Board, dean
of student services Jim Roberts
said the increase places the col­
lege in the middle of tuition
ranges in the metropolitan
area.
The decision to increase
tuition was made at the April
21 Board meeting. After the
College examined this year’s
revenue, the decision was
taken to the Associated Stu­
dent Government. Upon their
approval, it was taken to the
Board for final approval.
“The College’s money has
been cut back by the state for
three years now,” Hakanson
said. The tuition increase will
generate $96,950 in revenue
next year.
Speech team
nationals
overlooked
The College’s Speech
team competed at Nationals on
April 6-12, in Bloomington,
Minn. Teresa Svatos took se­
cond place in the expository
category and a third in per­
suasive speech. Edward Coyne
also took a third place, in the
extemporaneous category.
The Print regrets that the
speech team competition was
overlooked.
