“Going through the

he said. In regards to the
budgeting process itself, Reese
said he feels comfortable
working with budgets because
of his background experience

College holds food drive
By J. Jason

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.”

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.”
