In Conjunction With Project:
College Work Study— This is a
program allowing students to
work part-time (up to 19 hours
per week) and earn part of the
money they need to attend col­
lege. Most jobs are on campus
and can be arranged around the
student’s class schedule. Students
must file a Financial Aid Form
and show need. This program
also will be available to students
who attend at least six credit
hours. Students must turn in
timesheets on the 10th of each
month and will be paid on the
first day of the following month
for the hours they have worked.
All of these programs require
that the student file a 1987-88
Financial Aid Form which is
available at the College Financial
Aid Office in the Community
Center Building. The Guaranteed
Student Loan and PLUS/SLS
programs require an additional
bank application. Students apply­
ing for a Perkins (NDSL) Loan
must also file a Student Data
Sheet and attend an entrance in­
terview prior to disbursal.
In order for Clackamas Com­
munity College to be eligible for
these federal programs, the in­
stitution must certify that it has
a Drug Abuse Prevention Pro­
gram available to any officer,
employee, and student at the
college. All students must have
a 2.00 Grade Point Average by
the end of their second year to
continue to be eligible for fin-
cancial aid, although the college
requires a 2.0 GPA for all
students receiving fihancial aid.
Clackamas Community Col­
lege has also increased the max­
imum number of terms of
eligibility to nine for 1987-88.
Currently a student is limited to
eight terms of financial aid.
Students who apply for an ex­
tension'of aid are required to
complete 12 credits with a 2.75
GPA currently. For 1987-88,
the requirement will be reduced
to 2.50 for students on an exten­
sion.
If students have specific ques­
tions or need more information
they may contact the College
Financial Aid Office in person
(Office hours are 8-5 Monday
through Friday), or by calling
657-8400, ext. 422. The Finan­
cial Aid Office offers assistance
in FAF completion also.

Clackamas Community Col­
lege’s music program has, in the
past, produced numerous
talented musicians who have
gone on to make a living from
their musical inclinations.
“There’ve been some sur­
prises where people, who didn’t
particulary make an impression
on us here, have ended up sen­
ding us a record,’’ says Gary
Nelson, head of the Clackamas
music department.
Ron Jones was a student here
in ’73 and is now a composer in
Los Angeles, working with the
Post/Carpenter team in com­
posing television themes.
Previously, he worked for Han­
na Barbara and Michelle Le
Grand, the number one reigning
movie composer.
Jones’s wife, Laree, who was
also here in ’73 playing the
clarinet and singing vocals, is
now a studio librarian and has
composed the first full length
movie score done completely
with synthesizers.
Chris Hardin, a student at
Clackamas in ’75 and ’76, is
now composing music for
cruiseship evening shows.
Rob Blakesley, a student
from ’71, recently sent Nelson
his latest record.
Angela Aamodt is now the
lead singer in a Las Vegas
lounge act.

Tom Buschlan now plays
baritone in the Air Force band.
“It’s almost impossible to
make a living exclusively in
music. But we try to make it
possible for those who have the
skills to use them and enjoy
them,’’ comments Nelson. “It’s
better than a hobby.”
When Nelson first began
playing professionally in the
Portland area, he was the
youngest person in the field.
Now there are around 20 to 25
students from Clackamas alone
playing in the Portland area.
“It’s difficult to play in the
Portland area and not have
somebody from Clackamas
Community College in the band
too,” says Nelson.
Nelson stresses that the music
staff doesn’t neccessarily en­
courage their students to go into
music as a profession, due to its
instability, but instead, en­
courages them to develop their
musical skills to where they can
carry on in the professional
aspect of music, even if it’s not
as a full time job. “We help
them. We prepare them to exist
outside of Clackamas Com­
munity College. These people
made it because of them, it
wasn’t anything we did. The
kids that made it would have
made it on their own anyhow.
They did it,” says Nelson,
“You gotta go in that practice
room all by yourself.”
