ALL THE LATEST
The College
wants you
With the current- drop in enrollment threatening to
curtail some of the FTE monies this College needs to
operate we feel that the Baord of Education should
whole-heartedly support the proposed enrollment manage
ment program.
This program, which would make available funds to hire
a full-time enrollment manager, would give this school a co
ordinated plan for attracting and retaining new students.
We feel that with all the competition this school has for
a limited number of students from places like Oregon State
and University of Oregon, there is a need for active recruit
ment among all age groups.
There is also a prevalence of community colleges in this
area who are perhaps gaining students because their pro
grams, although no better than ours are better advertised.
An office of Enrollment Management would also be able
to coordinate all areas of the college who are currently
working on recruitment such as the counseling department,
the Department of Public Relations and indivudal depart
ments and faculty members.
A coordinated effort in this area would help avoid a lot
of the competition and counter-productive efforts that
have surfaced in the past in the development and publica
tion of brochures, posters and other printed materials pro
moting the College and its programs.
There is no reason why this college should not enter an
aggressive marketplace of attracting student »and state
monies for these students in an aggressive manner. If we
are to reamin a viable institution and serve all the people
we can it is necessary to get out the information and let
these people know what we have to offer.
We feel that the proposed Enrollment Management
Program would successfully complete this task.

Back pat
To The Editor:
On behalf of the Board of
Education, the staff, and speak
ing for myself. I would like to
thank the students who contri
buted to our successful serial
levy election on April 4 by their
help in the campaign, and more
especially, by their votes.
Successful elections don't just
happen. They are the result of
organization,
hard work and
commitment. Our winning was
brought about by a well orga
nized Citizen Election Commit
ment on the part of the college
staff and students.
We have all earned a pat on
the back. Thanks for your help.

ERA ratification
To the Editor:
Mot made a basic mistake in'
his last letter to you. He meant
Thomas Jefferson's "Declaration
of
Independence" specifically
the line that reads "All men are
created Equal" Mot's legal point,
though pretty basic, was that
Thomas Jefferson contrived to
use "Men" in the same manner
Thomas Paine used "Man" in
his publication "The Rights of .
Man": To add Poetic meta
phorical Punch to a document
that was a statement of our
America's intention of Demo-
cratic self-rule, in a hostile world
(our Revolutionary Forces-ex-
cept for the tough lean Marines,
were a sad comparison to Brit
ish troops-at the time) Also
Mot was correct in saying Wom
an back then were considered
Chattel.
Nowdays, Democracy being
Equality in all senses. Women
having been treated as second
class citizens in the job market
and legal rights in some areas
such as bias in pension, retire
ment rates and Insurance bene
fits. It would only be in the
nature of a true responsible
Democratic
State to simply
Equality of Rights under
the Law shall not be
denied or abridged
by the UnitedStates
or by any State on
account of Sex.
Thrilling isn't it?
To my
mind, it really puts some Punch
into our Democracy.
According to Reader's Digest
one of the most Catholic peri
odicals, ERA will not lead to
Uni-Sex bathrooms, meddle in
private lives or mandate Homo
sexual Marriage.
Nor will it
Abrogate States Rights. Each
State will have two years to
bring its Laws into conformity
with the basic concept of sex
neutrality in the eyes of the
law.
There are some strong emo
tions opposing
ERA.
The
strongest being the emotional
issue of Male dominance. Sec
ondly, a quasi-religious inference
that a womans place is |
home. My reality on thl
point is the actual figures||
men to men ratio's in the-
market and the 25% disfl
tion in same skill pay difl
ces.
