In regards to the budgeting process itself, Reese said he feels comfortable working with budgets because of his background experience in business administration. This budgeting process is ex pected to be much easier with the defeat of Ballot Measure 2, the property tax limitation proposal, at the polls Nov. 6.

Jason Of The Print Developed to help students in need at Clackamas Com munity College, the second an nual Student Food Drive begins Nov. 21 and runs through Dec. 3. Sponsored by concerned staff members, the Associated Student Government (ASG) and the Clackamas Communi ty College Foundation, food cans will be collected by plac ing boxes and barrels in strategic locations on campus that are easily accessible to students. “We’re seeking contribu tions of purchased food goods in cans and boxes,” Betsy Crist, Community Education Specialist and involved staff member said. The cans will be distributed to those in need on Dec. 10 and 11 and holiday food baskets will also be prepared. Students in need of the con tributions can apply by filling out a form at the Career Development and Placement Center located in the Com munity Center. There will be a few basic questions asked on the forms, for example, to determine the specific needs of the applicants and their families. Crist said, the goal for the drive “is to meet all the needs of the applicants.” —PRESENTS— The “salad bar” special A SALAD 25% OFF F Only 9c an ounce Offer good Nov. 21 through Nov. 27 ‘Cafeteria located in community center building.

Water problem compounded CCC Cafeteria 3 deans T by bacteria in sediment (Continued from page one) from the south fork of the Clackamas River to the Oregon City hilltop area. “The problem was com pounded when the bacteria got into the big (16 inch) line going to the College and settled into the new sediment washed into the system upstream,” a spokesperson for the Oregon City Street and Water Depart ment explained. “There is so little pressure in the line that sediment builds up pretty fast. Then the chlorine just washes right over the top of the sedi ment and bypasses the bacteria, too,” he added. The spokesperson, who ask ed not to be identified, said another reason the problem exists is that the line to the College ends in a dead end, which severly limits circula tion. “Circulation is vital to cleanliness,” he added. Culver said Monday “the ci ty water department has flush ed the lines, and the recent tests indicate everything is satisfactory now. “The hilltop area receives water that comes from a filter plant at the bottom of the hill when this sort of problem oc- curs,” he added. He continued to explain that because the filter plant line connects with the mountain line before it reaches the College, the bacteria had to be flushed out, to avoid potentially bad water coming from the tap. “We are having the city monitor the water more closely in the future than before, so this pro blem can be minimized,” he said. The mountain line will be phased out altogether by the end of march 1985, unless a six-month extension that the city requested is approved. Culver said “a dependable source of clean water must be found” by the city. Using the current filter plant system on a permanent basis is out of the question because of the enormous costs involved. A 1981 estimate placed the cost of electricity alone to power the pumps to get the water up the hill at $300 per day, Culver said. “I’m sure it’s a lot more now,” he add ed. When asked what the pro spects were for this problem’s recurrence, Culver said “it is likely to happen again throughout the winter and into the early spring, especially.” ■:V Page 6
