Displaced homemakers can come to the college and get job placement careers services, fa m ily services, support groups, in fo rm a tio n and referral, and child cooperative day care information free, she added. The Family Service Center (fu ll- day care for three and four year olds and short-hour care for six months to six yeear olds) and the cooperative day care program are the firs t o f th e ir kind on a com munity college campus in the US. In addition, the careers depart- ment offers in fo rm a tio n about non-traditional careers “ fo r those who have been out o f school for a period o f time” and family services. Ms. C am pf has been w ith PCC fo r fo u r years. She created, developed and funded the Career Planning and Placement Center and recently put together a Student Sur vival Supplement that has a direc tory with 125 scholarship listings. " A list o f scholarships, financial aid sources and student services. Where to go, where to apply, how to qualify.” Most o f the scholarships listed — broadcasting, business, m inority, engineering/science, health (dental and medical assistants), journalism, law, music, Army, Navy and others — are for first and second year PCC students. “ We had to make choices . . . which scholarships to list . . . The scholarships can apply to any student in the state of Oregon.” The supplement is the aftermath o f an idea gleaned from students w ith fin an cia l needs who were unable to apply for financial aid or didn’t want to apply, she said. “ I th in k we live in extremely stressful times and aiding students get an education is what a com munity college is all about.” The year o f planning and research that C am pf, Jerry T a y lo r, Fran James and Kay Jones put in to developing the supplement is in significant to Ms. Campf. She said, “ I guess I get a notion about something that I think is im portant and the time constraints are not important. I am more interested in seeing the job finished.” P C C ’ s careers departm ent ser vices 12,000 to 15,000 people each year. “ We are lo o kin g at the development o f new programs and new ways to o ffe r existing programs.” She encourages those in need o f tu to rin g , career planning and placement, child care, scholarships and/or financial aid information to contact the careers department: 244- 6111, ext. 468 or 469.

His dream fo r himself came true on that day. Caught in a reflective mood d uring a b rie f interview , Tucker confided that he had carried the dream in his heart for a long time. “ I had the dream and I did it , ” he said, “ i f vou ca n't dream it, and work toward it, you can’ t do it. **I had a high school counselor back in Washington, D.C. where I was born, who to ld me I would never make it in college — that I was not college m aterial. She was a black person but if I had listened to her I would not be here (wearing this cap and go>%n) today,” says the 26- year-old personality. “ I went the com m unity college route in Nebraska on a basketball scholarship and earned an associate degree in journalism from Southeast Nebraska Community College. My bachelor degree came in radio and TV communications in 1979. Along the way 1 acquired an advanced certificate in photography before 1 enrolled at the U niversity o f P ortland fo r advanced work in communications. “ N othing beats a failu re but a tr y ” is my message to my six brothers and sisters in DC. I have been role model for them, and I say this to all young people who dare to dream.” Tucker wants to savor this triu m p h before he firm s up new plans.
