OBSERVATIONS
FROM THF SIDELINES
Programs for displaced home
makers and cooperative day care ser
vices are without a doubt beneficial
to a growing number o f people in
the Portland area. Men and women
who have recently been separated or
divorced, either unemployed or un
deremployed and in the home and
out o f the work force for a substan
tial number o f years, are displaced
homemakers, according to Joan
C am pf, P ortland C om m unity
College’ s Director o f Career Plan
ning and Placement.
Cooperative day care at PCC is a
service that enables the parent to

pay a m o n th ly fee o f $15 and
provide a determined number o f day
care service w ork hours in the
program in exchange for child care.
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.

Am ong the U niversity o f P o rt
land May graduates was KPTV
show host, Ullysses Tucker, Jr.,
who received his master's degree in
com m unications. 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. He is a member o f the Black
Media Coalition and o f the Associ
ation o f Black Communicators.
