option, the radio station would
protect its current frequency.
Cost of this move was esti
mated by Hanks to be between
$12,000 and $15,000. Funding
for the project will be deter
mined by the 1980-81 budget
committee.
The alternative would re
quire an expenditure of $2,000
to conduct a channel search.
This search would have to be
repeated each time a new
commercial FM station wish
ed to use the assigned fre
quency. Hanks noted, "Under
this option we could be
bumped by anyone and have
to move again."

SC President Rodney
gs attributes the growth
spurt at Eastern to a multiple
of factors including the in
creasing diversification of
program offerings and an
intensified institutional visi
bility program. The growth of
the agri-business and the
business programs and the
anticipation of the expansion
of the nursing program are, in
Briggs' opinion, major attri
butors to the increased enrollment.
The campus radio station
(KRBM-FM) provides train
ing for BMCC's radio broad
casting students. Additionally,
Hanks noted, the station
provides a service to the
community by its plans to
broadcast Oregon Education
Public Broadcasting System
(OEPBS) programming as
well as National Public Radio
programs.
Turning to matters of col
lege maintenance, the board
toured areas in need of repair
on the college campus. Ero
sion has affected the bank
between the McCrae Activity
Center and the Health Educa
tion Building. Additionally,
cracks have been noted in the
south Pioneer parking lot
where the bank there is also
eroding.
The board requested that
cost figures be obtained for
placing either a concrete or
railroad tie retaining wall to
hold the bank between the
MAC and Health-Ed. The
services of an engineer will be
obtained to determine what
steps must be taken to prevent
continued loss of soil base
under the parking lot.
Discussion was also held on
possible uses of the triangle
property below the college
near Carden. A study will be
made of the cost and feasibil-
