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.

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. Besides the cost o f paving

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.

Student qualifications for SNAP

A
s if 'th e life o f a college
student couldn’t get m ore dif
f i c u l t ^ - given the fact that
students are already feeing the
stress o f funding tuition, books
and living expenses — add the
stress o f the rising cost in essen
tials, like food. -
How m uch o f an im pact is i t ;
causing today’s college students?
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?

H um an Services can help stu
dents go through the process
o f getting S.N .A .P benefits.

Here are some examples of situations that
must apply to students (providing verification Is
also required):
•A paid employee working an average of 2 0 hours per
week.
»Approved for a State Federally funded work-study
program students cannot have turned down a work-study
position.
• Receiving unemployment compensation or in job train
ing classes through the Workforce Investment Act.
• Already in a TANF (cash grant) benefit group.
• Physically or mentally unfit for employment. Training
through VA Rehab or VRD automatically meets this need.
For additional information feel free to contact DHS
offices.

in O regon City, o r any DHS
office that is m ore conveniently

student eligibility to qualify for
SNAP (see grey box).
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.
The idea o f a “starving col

sibility o f m ore assistance pro
