P R IN T : News 2 $5» Wednesday, Febuary 5,2014 a concrete sidewalk, a retaining wall would need to be built to support the hillside at that location, to prevent hillside erosion or the possibility o f slides, making the area trickier to navigate than it is now. Capital Campaign has grant in works fo r Clackamas Communi ty College — slippery slope on pavement issue. S een it News Editor W i n t e r weather in Oregon has always been on the wet side, mixed with wind and mud-strewn pathways, but none have made 'their presence felt, more than on the grassy slope on the Oregon 213 entryway to the Clackamas Community College grounds. For students who choose to walk to the O.C. Point Shopping Center for lunch at one o f the many eateries or for those who walk home from classes, this patch o f muddy ground has become a source o f consterna tion. We asked Campus Services about their fixture plans for this area. Will there be a sidewalk in the fixture? Bob Cochran, dean o f campus services, answered our inquisitive ness with solid reasoning. CCC is one of, 16 community colleges that have money earmarked from the Oregon legislature’s capital campaign .for capital construction and deferred maintenance. CCC is working to replace the 1960s era Clairmont building with a new Clairmont Career and Technology Center to house the horticulture and industrial technology programs. “We understand the need for a sidewalk at that location,” Cochran said. “But we are waiting to hear from the city if w e will need to widen the college entrance if we add another building to the cam pus.” The college has looked into what would be required to place a side walk on that side o f the highway entrance.

Bob Cochran Dean of Campus Services The college is waiting on the final word from the city before moving' forward with a permanent change. “We don’t want to build a side walk that m ay have to be tom down again within a few years to widen the entiyway,” Cochran said. The college could put that money to better use, he said. “HUH?” Y O U G O ....

I t’s been reported that fed eral funding for colleges have been cut, causing tuition to go up. A ccording to the O regon D epartm ent o f C o m m u n ity C o lle g e s and W orkforce Developm ent report, “The recent ‘great recession’ led to a decrease in funding o f over $100 m illion from 2001-2012; and only about h a lf o f Oregon high school grad uates head to college — ranking our state 47th in the nation.” Students are having to find a w ay to financially support the extra cost by juggling a jo b or two. O f course there is the sup port o f financial aid and scholar ships, but it’s not m aking the cut for many. W e’re all fam iliar w ith the saying “starving college student” — w ithin the last several years this m ay have becom e quite lit eral. W ith the rising price o f gas, it has affected the cost o f food; it’s the process o f transporting our food from one side o f the country to the other. Even the standard “ju n k food” that m ay ■seem like an affordable w ay o f eating isn’t cheap. So w here exactly can students find the extra assistance needed in getting groceries? A local D epartm ent of H um an Services can help stu dents go through the process o f getting S.N .A .P benefits.

Training through VA Rehab or VRD automatically meets this need. For additional information feel free to contact DHS offices.

In addition, students have to com plete an office interview dur ing the application, m aking sure all the questions are answ ered and the application a is signed, she said. “[Students] can ask clarifying questions,” A lioth said. “It takes anywhere from 45 m inutes for the interview.” W ithin a couple o f days, if approved, students can be on their w ay to receiving the extra assistance that can take a load o ff their plates. A SNAP (EBT) card is issued, and it can be used in local grocery and convenient stores. F a rm er’s M arkets are also open to accepting SNAP cards, some even have price-m atching program s.
