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.

president said. 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.
