been able to get a nice balance of
both since I’ve been here,” he
explained.

Clackamas’ International
Club got the OK to establish its
own scholarship for in temational
students, last week.
Olaf Lieb, a student from
Germany, came up with the idea
of an international scholarship
after he got in financial trouble.
Lieb found out that there wasn’t
any place he could turn for help.
There are differentrules for inter
national students. They have to
pay out-of-state tuition ($1 ,200 a
term) and they can’t apply for
financial aid.
, “I thought it was really sad
since the college is very inter
ested in having international stu
dents, but then if a financial prob
lem occurs, the college can’t
provide any help,” Lieb said.
Lieb was worried and de
cided that something had to be
done.'
“The situation I am in right
now can happen to any interna
tional student, especially since
distributed every Wednesday except for finals week. The open adver
tising rate is $4.13 per column inch. Clackamas Community College,

international students can’t ap
ply for off-campus work,” Lieb
explained.
The first idea Lieb came up
with was a scholarship established
by the Music Department, since
Lieb had been involved with that
department. They gave out let
ters which were co-signed by the
head of the Music Department.
But this idea failed since there
were no responses to the letters.
“I felt left alone, as if it was
all just up to me,” Lieb said.
“The Music Department
didn’t really do much except co
sign the letters. Their attitude was,
‘it’s your problem and we don’t
want your problem to be ours,’ ”
Lieb said.
ButLiebdidn’tgiveup. Lieb
realized that not all international
students would be enrolled in the
music program, so he thought
that there should be help avail
able to all international students,
no matter what their majors are.
Lieb talked to Ellen Burbr
idge, the international student
adviser at Clackamas, and to the
officers of the International Club.
They voted in favor of Lieb’s
idea.
Burbridge checked if there
were possibilities to get the idea
going and last week they got the
OK word.
The money for the scholar
ship will be raised by the club
itself. The club will try to get
sponsors and sell food and T-
shirts during international week.
In the meantime, Lieb found
a sponsor for Spring Term so at
least for this term, he won’t have
to worry.
“Hopefully, the International
Club will be able to interest busi
ness people in the Oregon City
area. I personally think it’s a good
investment to sponsor interna
tional students because it will
bring many different cultural
aspects to Oregon City,” Lieb
concluded.
