Cadet program extended by Staci Smith Staff Writer The college’s Public Safety Division of has recently enlisted the help of one more Public Safety officer to add to the list of six, and eight new cadets to patrol the campus in the hopes of keeping all students and faculty safe. The cadet program, which is currently in its fourth year, was designed to be “the eyes and the ears of the campus,” said Public Safety Director Jim Wiseman. Toqualify for the position of Public Safety cadet, the student must be a criminal justice major with a 3.0 grade point average or better. “We have many more applicants than positions. Our natural preference lies with a second-year student,” Wiseman said. At the beginning of each year, the criminal justice instructors announce to all of their classes about the possibility ofcadet position openings. The jobs offer around $6 an hour and approximately 16 hours a week. “We have a lot of ways to not armed and can not issue citations, unlike the Public Safety officers, who are armed and capable of issuing citations. “The focus of the cadets is on potential personal safety issues,” Wiseman explained. The cadets work an average of four nights a week from 6:30p.m. to 10:30p.m.,andalways "The focus of the cadets is on potential personal safety issues." - Jim Wiseman, Public Safety get students acclimated to the real world and the cadet program is one of those ways that also provides a valuable campus service,” Wiseman said. Although the cadets are given the use of a vehicle, they are more than one cadet is working at a time. “There are really good young people this year, it’s one of our best groups ever,” Wiseman concluded. Sales tax initiative reviewed by David Smith and Jesse Sowa Contributing Writers Clackamas Community College could have a $5 million problem by 1997 if Measure 1 doesn’tpass in the Nov. 2 election. That was the message from College President John Keyser last week at a series of brown bag lunch discussions in the Gregory Forum regarding the controversial sales tax ballot measure. Keyser’s remarks followed a presentation by Oregon Legislator Ron Adams, who spoke on the different aspects of the measure, and about the current budget problems which result from the effects of 1990s Ballot Measure 5. In his presentation, Adams explained that Measure 1 was designed to abolish all property taxesby creating afivepercentsales tax for Oregon residents and visitors. Revenue from the tax would be used solely for schools - - kindergarten through community college. The tax would apply to all goods sold in Oregon, but it would not tax groceries or services. For example, food consumed in the home would not be taxed, wheres as food served in a restaurant would be. Hospital services would also be exempt from the tax. I In explaining the budget shortages facing the college, President Keyser said he is “not too excited about some of the problems that are coming our way.” He explained that there have been enrollment increases, and that several hundred students were unable to get the classes they needed this term. The college can’t totally serve the students’ needs without additional revenue, and “cuts of over $1 million won’t help,” he said. Keyser pointed out that because of Measure 5, the property tax-cutting measure passed by Oregonians in 1990,50 percent of funds for the college now come from the state, instead of 27 percent before the passage of the measure. Without the additional revenue generated by the proposed sales tax, the college budget could incur the $5 million shortage by 1997. Rape seminar informs victims by Staci Smith Staff Writer .
