News continued from p.1 ASG goals Frothingham pointed out that students and often faculty feel that the prices are too high. The Financial Advisor Committee updated the bookstore prices and they felt the prices weren’t high in comparison with prices of food, clothing, etc. The average college student pays $150 in books and sup plies, which is about 70% more money in addition to tuition. “Compared to PSU we’re high. We are working with our college on the issue and the col lege is very cooperative,” Frothingham expressed. The third goal is to make thè ASG owned bookmarket more popular, and encourage students to use the opportunity of the bookmarket more often. The bookmarket gives the op portunity to buy and sell books for often a better value than at the bookstore. Student Government will be “looking at a way to make that (the bookmarket) more available to students.” The last of the main projects will be looking at an uniform policy for new clubs being form ed here on CCC campus. Currently ASG does not have a clear policy whether a club should get money or not. The policy is that any new club will receive $50. If that club has their minutes and constitution every year, they are eligible to receive $50 each year. Frothingham concluded tai they will look into a better policy for next year. - Renaissance Faire a success by Mary Prath Staff Writer The Renaissance Faire held in the Randall Hall at Clackamas Community College this past Saturday and Sunday was a col orful experience. There were tables filled with handmade crafts, a palmist, bel ly dancers, and a sword fight outside on the grass. The two men fighting were from the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). Anachronism is “something out of its time and place,” explain ed Samantha Will, member of the SCA. The fighters fight by the honor system, if a person is struck with a blow that would be fatal if the sword were real then they pretend they were kill ed and the fight is over. “What we are trying to do is not hit the shield, although we do that a lot.” said Marc McCool, one of the fighters. “The armor is not very heavy,” added John Krausch, the other fighter, when answering questions for the crowd. The purpose of the Repaissance Faire was to “raise food for the local food banks.” said Tanya Guptill, coordinator of the faire. “We did real good, we have several boxes in the back,” continued Guptill. The members of the SCA wore costumes of their; choice. “Everything is hand made, in cluding the armor.” said Gup till. The costumes represent the Rafting trip Enjoy a natural history and wildlife treat as you leisurely float down the Clackamas River.

Duncan today said passage of the safety net measure “is a message to our chilren, ourselves, and the nation that we are serious about repairing our school finance system.” According to Duncan, safety net is the first of several steps Oregon must take to achieve school finance reform. “It is a temporary patch on a school finance system that will take longer to repair. Our work is far from finished. ‘ ‘The safety net will ensure that schools will stay open, but what happens inside the school doors is equally important,” said Dun can, referring to approximately 90 school districts which are can didates for the safety net. Duncan said he supports legislation to create a Governor’s Commission on School Funding Reform. Voters Tuesday approved 17 of 50 school district operating levy requests, leaving approximately 90 districts-' without levy ap proval. The districts will fall into the safety net if they do not pass a levy by Sept. 15. Other elections are June 30 and Aug.ll.
