The most promising building suggested was the old McKay's store on Mohawk Boulevard in Springfield. This would be the most convenient, Keen explained, because (1) it could accommodate at least 500 people, (2) just one additional campus would result instead of a number of them, and (3) the cost for partial partitions would run to about $6, 000. Gib Bloomquist, assistant dean of instruction, explained the problems his office had encountered with scheduling He told the group that there could be a possibility of having a few college transfer classes on the Eugene campus, but these would prevent further expansion in the vocational prograIIJ.s. Bloomquist said it is hard to anticipate how many students will be interested in what courses. He referred to the number of cancelled classes as an example of this problem. The 3-M schedule was discussed at great length. Bloomquist illustrated the many possibilities of change of this program. He said that many students did not fully understand this program, and that if it was used, it would be introduced during the term, not in the middle of the year. Gary Dillon reported on the investigation for the further student poll committee and presented possible material for this poll. The next CASH meeting is scheduled for Jan. 25 at 4:30 p. m. in the KR VM studio. It is open to the public. - -Debbie Jo Briggs DR.

Tuition Hike Here A rise in tuition fees for Oregon colleges, termed "inevitable" last week by members of the State System of Higher Education, will not affect LCC. Bert Dotson, administrative assistant to the president, said Monday, "A raise in tuition costs would begin excluding people; this is not the objective of a community college. " "LCC is under a special board, " said Dotson, "as ase all community colleges. As far as I know, the administration here is very much opposed to a boost in tui.:. tion costs. " The proposed increase in tuition next fall was discussed by State System of Higher Education students who met last week at the University of Oregon. One of the speakers at the meeting was Roy Lieuallen, chancelor of the State System of Higher Education. He said the tuition increase will be necessary because of "the rising costs of higher education and the scarcity of state resources. " The upping of tuition, suggested by the State System's Finance MAL'S Custom Tailoring Custo111 ltlade Clotlies 2CY/4 Off Ready-Made Clothes 992 Willamette Phone 344-4871 Committee, is expected to net an additional $3 million.
