The sun broke through the clouds and spring was in the air
above the home baseball diamond during this week’s game on
April 19 against Chemeketa Community College. The Cougars
won the first game of the double header 9-1 and won the second
game 5-4.
This Tuesday’s victories were a far cry from just a week
ago, when the dark and ominous shadow of the Saints from Mt.
Hood Community College went seemingly unnoticed by the
Clackamas baseball team. The Cougars simply were not nearly
for what they were about to endure: a double headed beat-down
by the hands of the league leading Saints on Tuesday, April 12
at Clackamas Community College.
Things got off to a hot start, with Mt. Hood jumping to a
4-1 lead by the top of the fourth inning Led by stellar pitching,
Mt. Hood made sure that Clackamas could connect with hardly -
anything, while the Saints blasted away pitch after pitch from
the Cougar bullpen.

On April 13, the college’s board of education voted to increase tuition
for foe 2011-2012 year by $3 per credit hour, $9 per credit hour to the out
of state and international tuition rates and $1.50 to the student fee. The
decision was made with hesitation as no one decided to second the motion
for just under a minute. That hesitation also included board member Ron
Adams’ decision to abstain.
College president Joanne Truesdell reminded the board that, as they
have done in foe past during foe budgeting process, they have the ability to
review past decisions. This is one of several actions foe college is taking to
reduce a budget deficit of $8.5 million. Tuition has been increased $15 per
credit hour in foe past three years.
