College loses millions if measure passes
By Jane Wilcox
Of The Print
Ballot Measure 2 will
drastically affect Clackamas
Community College’s staff
and services if it wins voter ap­
proval Nov. 6.
Ballot Measure 2 would
reduce the income the College
receives by 17-20 percents This
would mean a loss of
$2,400,000 to the College.
A budget cut of this size
would mean a lot of major
changes at the College. Classes
with low enrollment would
have to be cut to allow the
money spent on these pro­
grams to be used for more
vital services. The classes that
escape the ax would require an
enrollment of 20-22 students
and an absolute minimum
enrollment of 18 students. The
required absolute minimum is
now 12.
“We would lose some ser­
vices and counseling and
testing services would be
restricted,” Dr. John Hakan-
son, College president, said.
He also said the sports pro­
gram might be affected.
Hakanson declined to com­
ment on which classes could be
affected by the cuts, however, discourage them from voting

College prepares brochures for
nationwide mailing
The search for Clackamas
Community College’s next
president moves steadily on­
ward as the College prepares
to mail out approximately 500
presidential description
brochures nationwide.
The brochures, which are
being prepared by the public
information department, were
approved by the Board of
Education last week.
The brochure lists the per­
sonal and professional
qualifications required, infor­
mation on the expected role of
the president, history of the
college, and something about
the community in which the
college is located.
Pat Fitzwater, presidential
search consultant for the Col­
lege, described the task of
composing the brochures as
“a long, tedious process.”
Fitzwater was responsible for
taking all the Board approved
presidential candidate criteria
and transcribing it into a
broader format for the
brochures.
In addition to the
brochures, Fitzwater said posi­
tion vacancy notices would be
sent out to colleges and state
associations for placement in
classified ads.
The brochures will be mailed
soon after the notices are mail­
ed on Nov. 1.
Applicants are asked to pro­
vide a cover letter with the
completed application form,
an essay explaining how the
candidate meets the personal
and profession qualifications,
a statement defining his or her
management style, a current
resume and letters of
reference, and placement
credentials from his or her
previous employer.
In last week’s issue of The
Print, the article titled “New
activities director named,” in­
correctly stated that a lecture
by Don Latarsky had been
planned for Nov. 7. The arti­
cle should have stated Latar­
sky is the head of a jazz group
by the same name and not a
lecturer.
