As a result, eight new security cameras were recently installed in the computer science resource center located in the annex. The 7,000- s q u a r e - f o o t annex to Streeter Hall provides classroom space for computer sci ence classes along with a resource room and work areas for students. While the computer lab located in Streeter Hall is open to the student body, computers in the Streeter Annex are essentially for the use of com puter science students. The comput ers themselves have no perma nent hard drives installed; comput er science students are assigned individ ual interchangeable hard drives through which to complete assignments. Rather than college staff monitoring the use of com puters like in the Streeter Hall computer lab, computers in the annex are located in an open, commons-type area located near both entrance and exit. “The monitors are locked cutters and i vi lanq the i made video ci down,” said Computer Science Chair Steffen Moller “but someone just came in with a pair of wire in the wa business,” “and not net that we wanted intent is that acce tures provided by is extremely limits used strictly to accountable.” Books awards, options limited for students Winter I Mietisele Cooper The Clackamas Print The Associated Student Government currently offers two ways of helping students with their textbook buying trou bles. Through ASQ students can partake in the Book Exchange or apply for book grants. “People can mark their own prices,” said Nick Verducci, the ASG officer of campus activi ties, of the Book Exchange. “So they can set it higher than what they could get back at the book store, but at a reasonable price, which would be cheaper than buying it [used] at the book store.” In recent years, ASG has dropped the price from $2 per book to $2 per form. A student can put up for sale eight books perform. “[The grants] are available to any college student that is attending full-time,” said Verducci, “[It’s] basically for students with low income, that have kids [or] just need extra money [for books].” While the Book Exchange is available to anyone on campus who wishes to make some money off of old textbooks or to buy them for “reasonable” prices, the book grants involve an application process, “[To apply for the book grants,] you ... need an edu- , cation plan, and if / you’re receiving I financial aid, [we] need a copy of the grants or the loans you’re get- ting, class schedule, transcripts .., and a letter saying why you need the grant,” said Verducci. The grant comes in the form of credit at the CCC Bookstore, and is only available for spending there. The cap for the amount of money you can get for books is “most likely” about $150, said Verducci. The avail ability of the grants is uncertain, being that more money might be allotted to the grant fund at a later date. Alternately, any money a stu dent makes from the Book Exchange is theirs to keep, granting that he or she remem bers to pick up the money from the ASG office. The Exchange will take place in the new ASG offices, located where the Skyl Room used to be, cafeteria.
