Board adds tuition aid By Shelley Ball Of The Print More tuition waiver awards will be available . for Clackamas Community Col lege students, as the College’s Board of Education members voted unanimously at a Feb. 9 meeting to raise from 166 to 195 the authorized maximum amount fo tuition waivers. College President John Hakanson said at the meeting that establishing a specific number for the maximum amount of awards would form a budget guideline, or as board member Roger Rook said, “Put some sort of a cap on the an nual increase in the amount of waivers.” Hakanson also said that by approving the new maximum there would “be no other pro grams eliminated or created unless by board approval.” Of the 195 awards for 1983-84, 59 of these will be for athletics. The rest will be distributed throughout the Col lege. The proposed budget for the 195 waivers is $105,300, but it is estimated that the ac tual usage of the awards will be 175 waivers, which brings the proposed budget for the awards down to $94,950. The board also unani mously approved a resolution to create work recognition scholarships, which will go in effect spring term of 1983. The full year scholarships will be given to sophomores who have strong academic and excellent work records. An idea to form a scholar ship for students who have good spelling skills was sug gested by board chairman Ralph Groener, who said that lacking such skills often “detracts from their (students’) ability to get a job.” Other items approved by the board included the right for the College to contract out for special educational services, and the support (in principal, not financially) for a tax reform proposal statement. By a vote of five to one the board adopted a plan to allow to contract out for services that could give students an oppor tunity to take classes off cam pus and work with equipment that the College doesn’t own. An example of this would be the field of word processing. It was explained at the meeting that word processing equip ment is too expensive and becomes obsolete far too quickly for the College to invest in. The board voted unani mously to support the prin cipals of The Local Govern ment Finance Reform Pro posal, which concerned the im posing of a sales tax in Oregon and explained both the con stitutional and statutory changes that would take place should the sales tax be enacted. Child support probes problems Community members gathered with “Children Deserve Support” officials at the College last Wednesday evening to discusss problems facing single parents who have custody of their children, but do not receive support from their ex-spouses. “Multnomah county has 20,000 cases and only three women to take care of them,” Children Deserve Support assistant Jackie Taylor said. money, then welfare has to pick up the tab. And who pays welfare? The taxpayer,” commented Jackie Taylor, Children Deserve Support assistant.

The ASG will collect all the food that the clubs gather. “More or less, it is every club for themselves,” Schaller said. After all the food is col lected it is then taken to the Ac tion agency and distributed. “Being a public institution, if we can help the community then it is our responsibility to do if,” Schaller said. So far Schaller is disap pointed in the lack of interest that the clubs and students have shown in the food drive. At the first scheduled commit tee meeting held in mid December only two club representatives participated. “Not too much (support has been shown) so far,” Schaller said. “But 1 am hoping the support is greater as the week goes on.” The food drive is the first that Schaller knew of in the College’s history, but he’s hop ing that the support is good enough so they will continue to hold drives in the future. “So far I just do now know how to get people motivated for it,” Schaller said.
