Change opposed

“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.”

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.
