Keep cp the good inert Roberts, you've nocked some proposed recoaimenda tions regarding Higher Education. Much of the recom trvrnAtfyiix are ia response to the passage of Measure 5 Tax limitation. If the State follows the Governor' s budget plaa there could occur some drast ic changes concernisg Oregon's colleges and universit ies. Look for these changes, if the proposed budget goes into effect: - Imposing of stricter Em it at iocs on enrollment at Oregon colleges & universities, the G2JXO student higher education system could shrink by 6100 students within the next two years. -Tuition at Oregons eight puNic colleges and universi ties would increase. - Eliminate approximately 500 jobs and reduce enroll ment, and tack on an estimated 200 surcharge on student tuition. -Thousands of college students will face tuition hikes of 20-43 over the next two years. At this time, these arc merely proposed recommenda tions. In speaking with Ms. Sarah Ames, of the Governor's Office, she indicated, it is highly likely students will see tuition increases within the next two years. There is also a possibility that one or two State colleges could dose At this time the recommendations have been made to the Chancellor's Office and the State Board of Higher Education. They will wrestle with the recommendations and determine where the cuts will fall and how what budget adjustments need to occur. It is also likely that colleges will impose an enrollment ceiling oa the cumbers of students that are admitted. They could also set higher admission criteria for new and transfer students. The steps will need to be reviewed and acted upon by the State Board. The outlook for Tribal students may be that numbers could decrease due to higher costs to attend college. It is also likely that the community colleges could face a strain oa increased enrollment Whatever the outcome, be forewarned, it is important that you apply for all the Financial Aid available and it is to your benefit that you donl delay b seeking admission into the four year schools.

Boerckal SCHOOL: International Air Academy MAJORPROGRAM: Reservations & Airport Services Agent ACCUMULATE GRADE POINT AVERAGE: 3.90 HONORS: Honor Roll "Most likely to Succeed" Award. Like most young people her age, Tannette originally had her sights set on heading in a different direction. During her junior year in high school she decided on pursuing a degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis on mathematics and physical education. After graduation in 1989 from Wilson High School in Portland, Tannette worked at a day care facility. She was an instructor with pre-school to 6th grade aged children. Feeling the need for a change and the decision to pursue a vocational program, Tannette enrolled in the International Air Academy in Vancouver, Wa. She found her program hard and requiring a lot of memori zation. Tannette felt the biggest hurdle she had to address, was the matter of "self discipline." Because of this, a number of her classmates failed to complete the program. The IAA. also had a strict dress code required of all students. Tannette said, "it wasn't a matter of wearing jeans and a sweat shirt to class, you had to wear clothing which provided a professional image!" Inspite of the initial adjustment, Tanncttc's class all agreed, "the clothing did make you feel professional." "By the time you finished your program, you had to obtain an 'interview suit' for the job search." Tannette completed the IAA. program in December 1990. She credits, her success to her mom's, Terry (Farlon) Bocrckcl, encouragement. "She always told me to push for college or training. I feel really good about starting this program and actually finishing it," Tannette stated. "I feel I've gained the training to help me in the future." Currently Ms. Boerckal is working as a Reservations Agent for the Shilo Inn Corporation. She handles all reservations on the 1-&X) national reservations line. She has also submitted her resume to Alaska Airlines and hopes to be handling the reservations behind an airline ticket counter, in the near future, Tannette became the Tribes 2Sth Adult Vocational Training graduate, Ms, Tannette Boerckal you have our CONGRATULATIONS!! YouN made us proud!
