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.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF
FILING OF OREGON ELECTRIC
RATE INCREASE
APPLICATION
On March 16, 1979, Pacific Power &
Light Company filed with the Oregon
Public Utility Commissioner an appli
cation to increase electric service
rates in Oregon.
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.
If you wish to receive other informa
tion. including information as to the
time and place of any public hearing
on the proposed increase, a special
toll free number. 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.
A prehearing conference on the
matter will be held by the Oregon
Public Utility Commissioner as
follows:
Date: Tuesday. April 10, 1979
Time: 10:00 AM
Place. Hearing Room D. Basement
of Labor 6 Industries
Building. Salem, Oregon

tion as to Pacific’s proposed rate in
crease, you should be aware that the
proposals, calculations and state
ments contained in this notice are not
binding on the Public Utility Com
