Molalla Ave. Change opposed by CCOSAC by Heleen Veenstra Editor “I went to Salem on behalf of all Oregon Community College students to request that the Oregon State Board of Education oppose the position by the Oregon State Board of Higher Education to convert to semester,” Neale Frothingham, ASG president stated. The CCOSAC (Community Colleges of Oregon Student Association and Commissions) Board of Presidents passed a resolution to ask for opposition to the semester conversion. Frothingham said that the OSBE “probably won’t do anything with our request, for mally.” However Frothingham thinks that the OSBE will discuss the subject with the Oregon State Board of Higher Education in formally since “the OSBE seem ed very supportive.” One Board can’t oppose. another Board; therefore, both Boards want to handle the | semester issue informally as to formally and on the record, Frothingham explained. “It’s not a matter if they (the Boards) agree or disagree with us, but how they can help us.” “The State Board of Higher Education is very defensive on this issue.” Faculty and students of both the two year and four year colleges oppose the semester system. “They (OSBHE) have a lot of pressure on them.” Frothingham pointed out. The legislative Emergency Board asked for a report from the OSBHE since they refuse to gjve. comments to any other organization. Since the OSBHE does not reply to request of not converting to semesters, does Frothingham think the semester conversion will go through? “I would say there is a 60% probability that we will and a 40% that we won’t. I think it is improving. A couple of mon ths ago it was 90% to 10%. I think it’s an issue that is very winable for students.” Richard Marx was one of several students and staff who traveled to Death Valley, California over Spring Break to explore the botanical curiosities.

Government’s constitution altered by Heleen Veenstra Fxlitor Associated Student Govern ment redefined their constitution in the April 7 ASG meeting. The constitution redefinition is a change in the serving terms of the five officers: President, Vice- President, Assistant to the Presi dent, Entertainment Coor dinator, and Administrative Assistant. Now the officers will be serving from the end of Spring quarter to next year’s end of Spr ing quarter, while before the terms ran from the middle of Spring quarter to next year’s mid dle of Spring quarter. “We . haven’t changed how long they serve,” Neale Frothingham, ASG president said. “In the past there has always been a problem.” With the early change of offices, new officers have to work with old senators, who have been working for the old officers. According to Frothingham the middle of Spring term was a “lousy time for transition,” since during that time it is too late to make a schedule here the ASG responsibilities and classes fit. f.
