Since be- g the treatments Jackson has lost 30 s. ire |re worse side-effects though. The anymore. His hobby is playing the saxo phone. Last year he won the solo competi tion in Salem with his tenor-sax. This year he plays in the jazz band at Clackamas Community College. "One of the reasons I'm glad to be attending Clackamas is that I can miss a few days when I have to, and still participate in the band," Jackson said. "Leroy is pretty understanding." He was referring to Leroy Anderson, stage band director at CCC. "Allyn's attitude is really terrific. He has a real ability to take things in stride," said Anderson. Thanks, in part, to early detection, Jack son's doctors have reported that the cancer has been "arrested." "If things go well, they'll end the chemo therapy treatments by April or May," said Jackson. "Then it'll be just a check-up every three months. I can't really make any long-range plans. For now, I just try to live each day as normally as I can." Allyn Jackson is taking life one-slice-at-a- time. But he is savoring each bite. fupenf input outlined br collective bargaining las been administered to only seven jeople.

I The meet, hosted by the CCC Phi Beta lambda (PBL) Club, is scheduled to begin Allyn Jackson .. .taking one day at a time Items that would be of importance are those related to class size, changes in ad missions procedures, use of part-time in structors, faculty work load, any items that have an impact on student tuitions and any other area where the negotiating team feels that inclusion of student participation is necessary or beneficial. "Students should have a voice in matters that concern them," said Jerry Bellavita, ASG Senator. "Even though they have no real power to bring to negotiations, they should at least be called on as consultants." This lack of power could change in the future according to Bellavita. There are pro posed law changes that would view the student as a consumer and education as a product. This change could give students legitimate power. Since student involvement in collective bargaining has already been approved for four-year institutions, Bellavita feels that community colleges should get their posi tions established in case there is a future change in student power status. The proposals were read at the ASG meeting Jan. 27 and will be sent to the Faculty Senate for consideration at their next meeting.
