As you can see, cost per credit hour has more than doubled in a decade. Joshua Dillen Co-Editor-in-Chief Budget season is in full bloom on campus. As the fiscal year ends and funds are increas ingly harder to find, the Board of Education approved a $5 tuition increase at last month’s meeting. A full-time student taking 15 credits at Clackamas will see their tuition rise by $75 a term starting this summer. Currently students pay $79 per credit at Clackamas. Beginning summer term this means tuition will be $84 per credit. According to oregon.gov, the state average tuition per credit is $85.94 at Oregon com munity colleges for the 2012-13 school year. Elizabeth Lundy, vice presi dent o f Instruction and Student Services, sa id -it is hard for administrators the board and the budget committee, to make decisions like this. She also had concerns about the impact this has on students. “Trying to keep the balance in terms o f how much is reduc tion and how much o f it is shared to the students and how much o f it is trying to come up with increased revenue given that w e’ve been doing this for so many years [is difficult],” said Lundy. She also said that the college Jias always tried to keep bud get impact on students as mini mal as possible arid the tuition increase w as actually a sm atler part of the current year’s budget process than they had planned. “We’ve always tried to keep the impact to students below a third of whatever the budget actions are. I think this time we are at about 26/28 percent of the budget actions coming from that tuition increase, so that was helpful,” said Lundy. Mt. Hood Com munity College is currently $89 per credit, while Portland Community College is $82. The most expensive tuition at a com munity college in Oregon is $94 at Clatsop, while the best deal is at Um pqua, w here students pay $75 for each credit hour. O ut o f state and interna tional students will fork out an additional $15 per credit horn- increase this summer. Their cost for 15 credits will go up from $3,510 to $3,735.

She ran the hurdles in 16.42 seconds and threw the shot 29’6 3/4. Although she set personal bests in each event, Forbito is always seeking improvement “It was a really ugly throw,” said Forbito of her javelin toss. “So, once I get it right down the point, it’s going to go a lot further.” Forbito took a couple tenths o f a second off her hurdle time, but she saw room to improve there as well. “It was a good day,” said Forbito. “But I messed up on the eighth hurdle in the highs, so once I get that taken care of too, it will be a really good time.” ) Cody Britt (far left), Seth Buck (26) and John Koch (right) compete in the 800 meter sprint medley last Friday at the fifth annual Pacific Northwest Relays. Forbito even had time to help hold the starting blocks for teammate, Shelby Grubb, in the men’s 110 hurdles, imme diately after her hurdles race had ended. Teamwork like that was not in short supply during the event, as three teammates contributing to the team total in the field events, turning those events into a relay as well. “That is really what this event is about,” said Forbito. “Even when you are throwing or doing the shot put, it’s a relay. So it’s top three, you add up the scores and that’s how they score the meet. This meet is based on teamwork.” Please see RELAYS, Page 6 Andrew Millbrooke The Clackamas Print While some athletes were P using last Friday’s fifth annual ÿ Pacific Northwest Relays at Oregon City High School as a training ground, others were I certainly up for running faster or throwing farther than they ever had before. In cloudy and drizzly conditions, Clackamas sophomore Tiffany Forbito, an Oregon City grad and recent Long Beach State signee, had a memorable performance with three personal bests. “For us, it’s really cool. We put a lot of emphasis on the idea points, ahead o f Clackamas (91) that it’s a scored meet against and Warner Pacific (49). Forbito signed at CSULB other colleges,” said head cross country and distance coach to throw the javelin, her spe Jerret Mantalas. “We want to try cialty, but she has proven to and go out and do as good as we be a force in multiple events can and beat as many schools as for the Cougars this season as we can.
