It is a 3.7 meter satellite dish that arrived on pampas March 18 and was in stalled on the roof of McLoughlin Hall shortly thereafter. (.The dish is mounted on an 800 pound pole which was fabri cated by plant services personnel. Fred McPherson was the head of the crew that spent an entire day installing the dish with the help of a large crane. Media Services Supervisor Clare Cody explained the dish, which was provided through ED- Nct, an Oregon system for educa tional and business programming, for kindergarten through grade 12 and community colleges, was larger than the original dish the college was going to receive. For $2,500 the college purchased the dish and the control equipment needed to be able to pick up a variety of programs instead of accepting an offer by Ed-Net to provide a 2.4. meter dish for free. The satellite dish on top of McLoughlin Hall was set up In March The satellite enables the college to broadcast Ed-Net programs “Ed-Net was designed as a way to deliver programming,” explained Cody. “The kind of instruction that’s going to be happening will be best done live.” “Anything that can happen in a classroom may be shown on ED-Net,” Cody continued. “The programs aren’t tclecourses in the Forum addresses budget realities Continued from Page 1 up the lost property taxes, but being impacted due to the fund they are not required to maintain ing limitations caused by Meas the current level of support [to ure 5. • education],” Keyser explained.

ELC exploring funding options Continued from Page 1 The ELC is already talking with officials from Safeway, Fred Meyer’s, and other local busi nesses who are willing to estab lish a trust fund, according to Herrmann. The ELC is also planning to implement an admission fee for visitors next year. It already has a requested donation fee for visi tors, which is not regulated. “The board approved the concept of charging admission here,” commented Herrmann. He also feels this will streamline events which the ELC hosts. Many people do not realize that because of the ELC’s volun teer nature, it is not a public serv ice. “The whole thing has been built by community resources,” said Herrmann. “This non-profit organization has raised $3.5 mil lion dollars since it started in 1977.” The ELC has 10 staff mem bers, and tie rest of the 15,000 pcople-bours which are put into the ELC a year are either from volunteers or from correction workers doing community serv ice. Herrmann says that the money lost in budget cuts next year is not a devastating total when compared to the $300,000 which the ELC normally raises each year. “We have brought in all sorts of reusable and reprocessable resources for buildings,” said Herrmann. The ELC also receives reve nue from its recycling program. However, Herrmann says that the market value of recycled goods has gone down almost 50 per cent since 1977when the facility opened. Still, the ELC does process a large quantity of what would otherwise be waste. The recycling program processes about 35 percent of the waste in the Oregon City area, according to Herrmann. “This is the most sophisti cated full-processing depot ofits size in the Northwest,” he said. “We will be able to weather this nicety,” said Herrmann about next year’s cuts. same way we’ve been accustomed to receiving.” Ed-Net -programming has been in operation since the be ginning of winter term. So far media services have not* had any requests-from instructors to util ize the broadcasts. There is a $1,000 fee for membership in Ed-Net the first year and $1,500 for the following years. Media Services is presently committed to a four-year contract. There is a sliding scale charge for all programming in addition to the membership fee. “It’s very much in its infancy,” said Cody of the program. “It is impossible to predict what will be sent over Ed-Net.” Media services has one other satellite dish that is five years old. With the additional dish, the col lege may pick up more than one broadcast at a time.
