Pane 4 Portland Observer Thursday. Aprils. 1979 Board denies Adams program JACQUELINE ANN SOLOMAN Jeff senior leads busy life Jacqueline Ann Solom on, the eighteen-year-old daughter o f Mrs. Margaret Solomon o f Portland and Jack Solomon o f Los Angeles will be graduated at the end o f the school year by Jefferson High School. E arlier in her last high school term. Miss Solomon was presented by her mother and The Links, Inc. at the Links’ second annual Starlight Cotillion held at the Sheraton Hotel Ballroom. During her student days at Jeffer son, Jacqueline was a member o f Jefferson's in tram ural track and volleyball teams and was a member o f the Junior Varsity Rally Squad. She was in the cast o f the school’s production o f “ Bye, Bye, Birdie” and currently she is a working mem ber o f the Jefferson “ Spectrum” staff and is on the Senior Prom and Graduation Committees. Outside o f school, Jacqueline is se cretary o f the First A .M .E . Zion Youth Choir, is Isiserette Chaplain and Isiserette Youth Group Presi dent. During summer vacations Jac queline has worked as a library aide and clerk-typist. Jacqueline plans to attend college, probably P o rtla n d C om m unity College, where she expects to major in Merchandising and Fashion. The P ortland School Board squashed a proposal by Adams High School that would have made the school a magnet for computer science and introduced “ computer assisted skills upgrading." Dr. C ollin M orris, principal o f Adams, described the district’s need for advanced curriculum in com puters that would train young people in the rapidly expanding field o f computer technology. He felt this program w ould not o n ly bring Adams attendance urea students to the school but would draw students from throughout the district. Adams receives freshmen from W hitaker/Colum bia middle school only, but 46 percent o f the graduates o f that school do not attend Adams but go to other high schools. The computer science program is seen as a way to attract these students, some o f whom have already had some ex perience with computers at Colum- bia/W hitaker. Adams has declined to an enrollment o f 740. including night school. The second program would ad dress the problems o f underachieving students. O f this year’ s freshman class, only 25 percent could read at ninth grade level; 57 percent read below seventh grade level and 23 per cent below fifth grade level. The program w ould o ffe r com puter assisted training in reading, math and other subjects to aid un derachieving students. Don Jones, Area II Superinten dent, recommended that only the remedial program be established for the next school year and that the computer science program be added later. Dr. Blanchard recommended that computer programs that would make use o f existing computers in other buildings be developed, to try the project prior to purchasing addi tional computers. The Board decided to table the program until the Superintendent can study the issue and make a speci fic proposal.

For the average residential electric customer using about 1100 KWH monthly, this will result in an increase in the monthly electric bill of $4.05, or an additional 13.5C per day. This appli cation for a 15 percent rate increase in Oregon will produce an annual increase in revenues of approximately $39,534,000. Why Have We Had To Ask For An Increase In Electric Rates? The Company faces a continuing requirement to provide electric ser vice to increasing numbers of cus tomers This growth has meant the addition of significant new distribu tion and transmission facilities during a costly period of high inflation. Other factors influencing this request for a rate increase include the higher costs of borrowed funds to finance new facilities and the necessary, but expensive, requirement to provide for environmental compliance at all gen erating plants For Other Information Although we have described in very general terms the basic reasons why Pacific believes an increase is neces sary. more precise information in support of the Company’s proposal is contained in the testimony and exhib its filed with the Public Utility Commissioner. Copies of such testi mony and exhibits are available for inspection at the offices listed below where a representative of the Com- pany will answer any questions that you may have. Please feel free to con tact our offices by phone at the num bers indicated. Also, copies of the Company’s testimony and exhibits are available for inspection at its main office located at 920 S.W. Sixth Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97204.

I-(800) 452 9105, has been established by the Oregon Public Utility Commissioner or you may write to the Oregon Public Utility Commissioner at 300 Labor & Indus tries Building, Salem, Oregon 97310.
