With a $8.5 million hole burning
in the college’s wallet, Clackamas
Community College is searching
for ways to patch up the gap. One of
those recommendations is increasing
tuition $3 and the student technology
fee by $1.50 per credit hour. This idea
will be voted on tonight, April 13, at
the Board of Education meeting.
Courtney Wilton, vice president of
college
services, has said that the col
$56
lege was looking in three general areas to
help reduce the budget: increasing reve
nue, decreasing spending/looking for inef
ficiencies and using part of the college’s
$54
reserves to help supplement the deficit. The
budget proposal for next year has used all
of those options and more to deal with this
problem in two years.
Tuition and student fees will likely be
going up next year. During last month’s Board
of Education meeting the college submitted the
business item of increasing tuition $3 from $74
to $77 per credit hour and increasing the student
technology fee from $3 to $4.50 per credit hour.

Death Valley

.Believe it or not, there’s a place that’s closer to hell
h any other in the United States; a place that seems
be a barren wasteland of dust and sand; a place where
lid rock tends to bend, fold and twist like a piece of
tad laffy taffy; a place where the Devil plays golf and
[giant lakes that once flooded the área were replaced
h endless fields of jagged salt rocks.
[Of course I’m talking about Death Valley, a location so
Rue it would be a shame to just drive through it like
pt do on their way to the City of Sin. With areas sink-
ias low as 232 feet below sea level, Death Valley is
pe to the lowest ground elevation in the United States.
