Gardner, Schaffer named
to top CCOSAC positions

Two Clackamas Com­
munity College students have
been elected to hold offices in
the Community Colleges of
Oregon Student Association
and Commissions (CCOSAC)
for 1982-83.
John Schaffer, who has
been the senate liaison to this
year’s Associated Student
Government, has been named
the new representative to the
Oregon Education Coor­
dinating Commission (OECC).
Brian Gardner will take
the job of Executive Chairper­
son to the CCOSAC Board of
Presidents. Gardner is a stu­
dent of Central Oregon Com­
munity College in Bend this
year, but will attend Clackamas
Community next year.
Gardner is a freshman
senator of the COCC student
government this year, but does
not hold any executive office.
He is a political science major
who “might try for a double
major , in either psychology or
sociology,” he said.
Gardner has also been an
officer in the Oregon Com­
munity College Association
(OCCA) this year. As such, he
was involved in the CCOSAC
rally on the steps of the state
capitol on Jan. 4. The rally was
held to protest proposed cuts in
the community college system.
“I ran for this office
because I’m excited about the
strength of the community col­
leges and of the students. I
think the January rally was
very successful.”
Gardner has plans for the
upcoming year and his new of­
fice. “We might consider con­
solidating some of the junior
colleges outside Oregon into
CCOSAC,” he said.
“Also, I’d like to expand
our lobbying efforts. This year
we did well, but we only had to
work hard during the five week
special session (of the State
Congress). This year, who
knows? We may have as much
as six months of work ahead of
us.”
Gardner believes that the
community colleges of Oregon
are very powerful on a political
level. Roger Bassett, the official
lobbyist for CCOSAC to the
state legislature, agrees.
“CCOSAC is at least five years
ahead of where we thought it
would be,” he said.
The office of Executive
Chairperson is a relatively new
one to the Board of Presidents.
Gardner will be the third such.
He is taking Over from Doug
Moxley, this year’s Chair and a
member of Chemeketa Com­
munity College’s student
government.
Gardner is pleased with
the selection of Schaffer to the
job of OECC Liaison. “I’m im­
pressed with John,” he said,
Tm looking forward to work­
ing with him.”
The job of liaison involved
receiving data from both
CCOSAC and OECC. Schaf­
fer will analyze, evaluate, sum-
merize and report to both
organizations. “The jobs is sort
of a two-way street. I’ll actually
be working for both groups,”
he said.
Schaffer is a pre-law ma­
jor. Next year will be his second
year at the College. This year’s
OECC liaison has been Dick
Edwards, also a student at the
College.
“I ran for the job because
it’s a broadening step for me,”
Schaffer said. “It’s no more stu­
dent government-play ground
stuff; this is real-life politics.”
The job will require some
off-campus work, but Schaffer
is not worried about keeping up
with his. school work.
Schaffer is very excited
about the up-coming year. “I’ll
be involved with helping all the.
community colleges in the
state, not just Clackamas.”
He is also glad to be work­
ing with Gardner. “He’s a very
versatile man/’ Schaffer said,
“He’ll be a good executive
chairperson.”

Gardner in need of
ASG book exchange scheduled Executive assistant
The College book ex­
change wiH take place starting
finals week, June 7-11. The
exchange will allow students to
sell their textbooks at their own
price instead of selling books
back to the bookstore and get­
ting only about half of what
they originally paid for them.
“The book exchange went
pretty well last term and a lot of
people used it,” Paul Nastari,
newly elected ASG President
said. “Some people left unsold
books here from last term and
there were three envelopes left
with money that people didn’t
pick up.
“The unsold books we will
probably keep in the exchange
to sell this time. If people don’t
pick up their money by a cer­
tain time, then it will get put in
the ASG fund,” Nastari said.
“We haven’t had any real pro­
Schedules combined
In what was termed a cost-saving measure, the Col­
lege has combined the credit and non-credit class
schedules into one. The approximately 82,000 schedules
are mailed to homes in the county.
The move is estimated to save $3,200 a term in
mailing costs. Summer term schedules will be mailed May
28.
District residents are to be alerted of the new format.
blems except for people not
picking up their money or
books. However, Chemeketa
Community College, the col­
lege we adapted this from, says
that they have the same small
problems”
Books can be brought into
the ASG office starting finals
week. During the first two
weeks of fall term, the buying
and selling will take place. “I
don’t think we will be doing the
exchange during the summer
because not many people go to
school then. If someone really
wanted to buy or sell during the
summer then we’ll let them,”
Nastari added.
For more information on
the book exchange, interested
students should contact Tracey
Johnston, ÀSG secretary, who
is in charge of the exchange
this term, or call the student ac­
tivities office at ext. 245.

including donations from 21

Tuesdays and we were surpris­
ed. The head nurse was very
pleased too.”
