Book exchange offers more money
than bookstore's buy-back policy
by Maury Webber
Staff Writer
The Associated Student Gov
ernment will be sponsoring a book
exchange for all students who are
interested in selling their textbooks
for more money than the
bookstore’s buy-back policy can
offer.
By signing areleaseform
and paying a small service fee,
which hasn’t been determined yet,
student's can list and possibly dis
play a book they wish to sell. The
ASG will then take the responsi
bility to contact the students and
give them their money when the
book is sold.
“The fee won ’ t be much,
it’s really only to cover our costs,”
said Shannon Chinn, ASG Sena
tor. In return, she said, students
can get a better deal than selling
their books back to the bookstore.
ASG Vice-President Joel
Thomas agrees. “Depending on
the shape of the book, students can
ask for up to. 80 percent of the
retail,” he said.
“We also hope to get a
room where we can display the
books for sale so that other stu
dents can inspect them,” Chinn
said:
Although there are a few
details that need to be worked out,
they both expec t the book exchange
to be in place by the end of the
quarter.
“We’ll start collecting
books about two weeks before the
end of the term,” Thomas said.
Both Chinn and Thomas
would like to see this service con
tinue every quarter as a way to
make getting an education at
Clackamas even more cost effec
tive.
Any students interested
in getting more information should
contact Thomas or Chinn at the
ASG office or call ext 2247.
“We’re sure it’s going to
be a great success because stu
dents benefit both ways,” Chinn
said.
PSU spring transfer deadline approaches
by Jennifer Gunst
Staff Writer
For students who plan to
transfer to Portland State Univer
sity sometime in the near future,
there are first a few procedures to
follow and requirements to meet
PSU requires students to
have already obtained a minimum
of 30 credits and will not accept
transfer credits that exceed 108.
Students must at least have a cu
mulative 2.25 GPA. Official tran-
scripts along with the PSU appli
cation are to be sent with a $50
application fee post-dated by the
deadline indicated Tor the term.
Transfer degrees are not required
for admission. Block transfers con
vey that general requirements have
been met and will automatically
elevate students to junior status.
The deadline for Winter
Term was Oct 1 and all Spring
Term information must be received
by Feb. 1. However, students who
miss the deadline are allowed to
take up to seven credits and do not
need to be admitted.
Applications can be
picked up at the Portland State
admissions office and Clackamas
transcripts must be officially sent
through the school by mail or fax
for a fee of $4. This procedure
usually takes 24 hours and can be
taken care of at the admissions
office in the community center.
Co-op babysitting exchange to begin
■ ASG hopes that
program will be up
and running by
Winter Term
by Andrea Smith
Staff Writer
Going to school can be
difficult for anyone. Making time
to attend classes, study, keep a job
and still have a social life can seem
impossible. It’s even more diffi
cult when adding the responsibil
ity of caring for a baby, toddler
and/or pre-schooler.
Although the majority of
students at Clackamas don’t have
children, a growing number of one-
and two-parent families are at
tempting to juggle school, family
and work in order to better their
lives through education. These stu
dents must find suitable and af
fordable day care, which is rarely
easy.
There is a new program
that may solve some of the prob
lems for the students who need
help. According to Associated Stu
dent Government Secretary/Trea-
surer Cindy Barnes, ASG is orga
nizing a cooperative babysitting
exchange. A data base is being
formed listing student-parents who
would like to exchange hour-for-
hour babysitting with other par
ents. For example, if one student
attends school five days a week,
while another attends night classes,
ASG could match these student
parents so they could coordinate
their schedules with each other.
“By Winter Term, we
hope to have this program up and
running for use by students,”
Barnes said.
ASG plans to include the
Harmony Center and Wilsonville
campuses in this exchange. Once
the data base has enough names,
the matching process can begin.
The only way this service will work
is if parents in need take advantage
of it
An informational pam
phlet containing phone numbers
and procedures for emergency situ
ations is being provided, free of
charge, from ASG.
For more
information, contact Barnes in the
ASG office, Room 140, in the Com
munity Center. A weekly support
meeting to allow parents using the
service to get acquainted will be
held at 3:30 p.m. on Thursdays in
the Fireside Lounge, also located
in the Community Center.
