Billion dollar increase seen for
education in federal plan
Oregon Senators Mark O.
Hatfield and Bob Packwood
both voted for the Stafford
Hollings budget amendment
test week, which would in
crease general education funds
by one billion dollars.
Later this week, the
Senate and Congress will meet
to discuss the subject.
The educational funding
amendment is seen as impor
tant by both of Oregon’s
senators, as well as the Oregon
Community College Associa
tion. “It is great,” OCCA Staff
Associate Debbi Murdock said
of the amendment. “There is
some need for increase in fun
ding for education.”

proximately $600,000 would
go toward Pell Grants if the
amendment is passed by both
houses. “That money is
directed specifically for low in
come students,” Murdock said.
Before the amendment
was presented, many people
anticipated a decrease in
educational funds, Murdock
said. “The Scholarship Com
mittee would have had to go
before the legislation for
money,” she said. If the
amendment passes, “we would
be looking at a pretty good year
in financial aid,” she added.
OCCA is a statewide lob
bying organization, represen
ting all 13 Oregon community
colleges.
Etta Fielek, a represen
tative
from
Senator
Packwood’s office, said the
original amendment called for
an increase of 1.5 billion. It was
later changed to 1 billion.

The Clackamas Com
munity College Foundation
was established by a group of
interested citizens in 1967 to
provide a scholarship program
for district high school students.
The role of the Foundation has
grown steadily over the years
as the College has come to de
pend more and more on
private financial support to
maintain the quality and variety
of its programs.
Petition circulated here
A petition calling for an
end to war and the stockpiling
of weaponry obtained approx
imately 43 signatures Tuesday,
May 24, Karen Lever, coor
dinator for Women’s Special
Programs reported.
The petition, sponsored
by a group of women students
and staff members, was mailed
to Clackamas Community Col
lege by Richard Koss. Koss is
chairperson of the petition
drive and retired from his job to
put all of his time into the
cause, supporter Pam Williams
said.
Williams said the petition
will be kept another week, so it
can be taken around by sup
porters in the hopes of gaining
more signatures from various
organizations.
Eventually the petition will
be mailed to Koss in Albuquer
que, New Mexico. Williams
said she was disappointed with
the number of signatures
received Tuesday for the peti
tion, but she expects it will
become more well-known
soon. “You’re just beginning to
see and hear about it,” she
said.
