The newest piece of audio
visual equipment the college pur
chased maybe rather hard to miss
if one is looking up. 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

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.
