Sophomore Kathleen Mayer
was honored Feb; 13 at a luncheon
by Governor Barbara Roberts as
one of 19 outstanding community
college students in the state.
“It was neat,” Mayer said after
the luncheon. Each student stood
and stated what their goals are, and
the impact community colleges had
on them. “It was really touching.”
Mayer, of OregonCity, will join
honor students from the state’s other
community colleges to make the
All-State Academic Team. The
other chosen students include out-
of-work timber industry workers,
recent high school graduates and
people like Mayer, who took time
out after high school, then returned
to college.
Mayer, whocarries a 4.0 grade
point average, said, “It’s a real thrill
to have been nominated.” Mayer
was chosen by Phi Theta Kappa.

nate one student for the award.

The Oregon Educational Act
for the 21st century is a framework

This reform legislation will
lead Oregonians into the 21st cen­
tury aiming to restructure our cur­

necessary to achieve the state’s
workforce equal to anyone in the
world by the year 2010.
Clackamas Community Col­

was one of the conference coordi­
nators.
“If you look at education as a
continuum, community colleges are
an integral part of the changes needed
to meet the state’s wok-force goals,”
he said.
Organizers were looking for
input from the grassroots level:
businesses, teachers, students and
parents, on how to shape the cur­

age 14, Youngren said in a press
release.
State Rep. Vera Katz, D-Port-
land, delivered the keynote address
to more than 400 persons who at­
tended the Thursday morning
meeting.
Katz, the author of the bill,
said that it will take a major amount
of change in the state’s educational
system in order to make this legis­
lation work.
.... “It’s a different way of think­
ing-all about change. There’s so
much to lose and so much to gain,”
she said.
Parents, businesses and edu­
cators must all make sacrifices and
this definitely won’t be easy, Katz
said.
“I fully understand schools
themselves can’t do it alone. There’s
tension in the academic commu­
nity by those who think and those
who do.”
This bill “will prevent young­
sters from falling through the cracks.
Schools will do whatever schools
need to do,” Katz said.
Condoning some of her politi­
cal counterparts, Katz concluded
by saying, that “artificial gray bar­
riers are easier for the bureaucracy
to deal with.”
Joyce Reinke, assistant super­
intendent for the 21st Century
Schools, for the state Department
of Education, echoed some of Katz’s
remarks.
“Think of this (bill) as a blue­
print for change,” she said.
Youngren said that this bill
will change community colleges
drastically;
“I think we’re going to see
more high school programs in co­
operation with community colleges.
In five to ten years, community
college instructors will be teaching
at high school sites,” and vice versa,
he said.
It’s going to be hard to tell
where one -step of the education
process ends, Youngren said.
“I’m looking forward to it A
lot of planning, planning that takes
time and time takes money.”
John S. Keyser, president of
CCC, said that change is never
easy considering, the extremely
difficult financial situations.
“That leadership challenge is
difficult for all of us. I think it’s a
wonderful challenge ahead of us,”
he said.
Keyser said he knew that
people, as well as himself, could do
things better.
“I’m expecting a lot of my­
self.”
’ This educational reform bill
puts Oregon in the national spot­
light.
“Oregon’s out in front and
federal dollars to assist us in mak­
ing the right decisions concerning
this bill will follow," Youngren
said.
One of the conference speak­
ers, Ben Schellenberg, of the North
Clackamas School District, might
sum up the practical applications
of this bill best.
“We’ve come from the back
burner to the front burner. House
Bill 3565 declares a destination;
the hard part is managing the jour­
ney.”
