Information provided by Larry Dexheimer of Public Safety Terrorism class on hold, instructors needed ELIS ABETI I MEYER Staff Writer Even before the terrorist attacks, the Criminal Justice Department had considered offering a class on terrorism, but there is no plan to develop a class on the horizon. Dick Ashpaugh, head of the Criminal Justice Department, says the problem lies deeper than in funding or scheduling conflicts. “I have the money, I have the space. I just don’t have anyone with the experience,” said Ashpaugh. Eligible teachers, said Ashpaugh, include the few people in the community who have knowledge about terrorism, such as specially-trained police officers or individuals trained by the FBI. Ironically, the increased aware ness of terrorism, which could raise the demand for a terrorism class at the college, also makes the poten tial instructors unavailable. “Obviously, those people are busy right now.” Until a suitable instructor is available, planning the class won’t be an issue, Ashpaugh stressed. “I don’t run a program (staffed by) people who can read a book and regurgitate the information.” He added that he expects his in structors to have a certain level of base knowledge of the subjects they teach. “We just don’t have the exper tise,” he concluded. “Maybe that’s a good thing.” Financial Aid holding tuition waiver drawings JESSE GURZYNSKI Staff Writer Students concerned about pay ing for their next term take note: Financial Aid is holding a drawing to award a $300 tuition waiver. The deadline is Nov. 20, at 5 p.m. To enter, students must fill out a FAFSA form on the Web (fafsa.ed.gov) or have already filled one out, and must fill out an entry form, available at the Community Center Student Financial Services front desk. A$150 tuition waiver and gift cer tificates are also being awarded, so even if you don’t get the $300 tu ition waiver, there’s a chance at something else? The purpose of this, said Mary Jo Jackson, financial aid director, is “just an incentive for students to encourage them to apply.” Some students may not realize that it’s not too late to file for financial aid. Some students don’t need help now, but may later, said Jackson. If they get signed up now, then when they need help they can get it much sooner. If they wait until they need help, it may take several weeks. Said Jacksorf, “Some students may apply and not be eligible for anything but loans, this gives them something to go for.” It is suggested that students en tering the drawing be enrolled for at least 6 credit hours. Said Jack- son, “for most financial aid you do have to be at least a half-time stu dent.” The drawing will take place on Dec. 3, and awards will be an nounced Dec. 10. If you have ques tions, you can call Student Finan cial Services at 503-657-6958, ext. 2422. News Th e CL ac I ìamas P rìnt Young Parent Opportunity Program financial grants available for childcare costs DAISY BAIN A & E Editor Students who wish to continue their education but feel trapped because they have children shouldn’t fret too much. Help is out there. Clackamas offers some programs and financial aid for stu dents who have children. The Young Parent Opportunity Program (YPOP) is for students 15 to 21 years old who want to get their GED or high school diploma and need help with their childcare needs. Students who are in this program receive early-childhood education, pre-employment train ing, counseling, and transition to continued education and food prep classes. “This program is open entry — open exit. This means that it can be entered mid-term,” said Patty Fowler, YPOP coordinator. The program is funded by ba sic school dollars with contracts with Clackamas County high schools. The cost is $45 per term i and is located at the Family Re source Center (FRC). A contact person designated by the resident high school may refer students who are interested. The students may also contact YPOP for infor mation regarding an intake/inter- view appointment at (503) 657- 6958 X2592. The All Student Government Childcare Grant is also available to students seeking financial aid. ASG along with the CCC Founda tion, have created a partial solu tion to the challenges of childcare costs. The grant will partially pay for time children need childcare in a licensed facility. Grants are awarded based upon a student’s ability to sufficiently demonstrate a financial need for childcare. “A lot of people make the mis take that the child care grants are just for the people at the YMCA on campus. But they are actually available for any state certified childcare providers,” said Marianna Norby, the childcare of ficer of ASG. In order to determine eligibility for the childcare grant program, students need to have applica tions entirely completed and turned in Dec. 10,2001, by 5 p.m. Applications are available in the ASG office in the Community Cen ter, CC140. Failure to provide accurate or complete information will result in disqualification from the se lection process. In order to be eligible, the child must be placed with a state-certified and ap proved childcare provider or facility. The grant does not last all three terms: one has to re apply each term. Applicants will be notified by writing or by phone whether they have received a grant. “This year we’ve had the most applicants than we have ever had,” said Norby. Students who have children and would like to entertain their family with a little holiday cheer can join ASG at its holiday party on December 7-9 in the Gregory Forum; the time is yet to be an nounced. It will be open to ev eryone but is geared towards families. They will have a Santa, games and face painting. “There will be a lot of fun for the whole family,” said Norby.
