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

Safety net
State School Supt. Verne A.
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.
