Levy defeat of little concern to rockers
IIORE IN THE 'HOLE'
THÄN
THOUGHT.
Two weeks ago, “The
Print” published a music
review of a group called
“The Edge of Max” who
played at a dance on cam
pus. In the same week as
the budget and construe*
tion levy defeats, we receiv
ed four letters defending
the Edge of Max’s honor.
How many letters did we

for the College. It’s intrigu
ing to find out where peo
ple’s real interest lie.
What’s obviously in view is
that the two college levy
defeats interested very few,
while a small, two-bit rock-
and-roll band running

more than what the levies
would have cost per person
in the next fiscal year.
That’s the power of a
“rocker.”
“Being a ’rocker/ I can
care about rock music, but
don’t have to care about
where I hear the music
from. So what if the budget
levy failed, they insulted
my boyfriend’s rock group!
So what if the budget levy
failed, “The Edge of Max”
pulled in a profit for me and
my ASG friends. So what if
the budget levy failed, we
can use the profits they
reaped upon us to help the
school’s three-year deficit
of 423,197,358. Now we
only need $23,197,058.
“So what if the budget
levy failed, I’m still more
compelled to write a letter
concerning the critical bap
tism (which all groups
have) of a rock group than
of the possible bankruptcy
of the college that offers
one of the lowest tuitions
of any college in Oregon.
“Where are my priorities
as a rocker? Obviously with
the music. It will train me
for a job as a dishwasher at
Sambos, as an usher at a
movie house, as a gasoline
attendant,- or what-have-
you. Because of rock-and-
roll, I will be able to utter
great prose such as, “Two
lips touching together
cheek to cheek, sweatshirt
to sweater.” Great stuff!
Pulitzer Prize winning (or
at least ‘People’s Choice
Awards’) for sure. Pass me
a beer, Portland Wrestling
is on.”
Ladies and gentlemen,
without the budget levy,
there won’t be any college
for the “Edge of Max” (or
any other group) to play at.
I would like to see a little
more concern for this col
lege, and a little less for our
entertainment—be it good
or bad. If the budget levy
doesn’t pass on the March
31 election, all that money
(tons of it, I hear) “The
Edge of Max” raked in will
all have been tor naught.
Speaking of the budget
levy, I know a perfect way
in which we could pass it. j
We’ll get “The Edge of Max”
to compose a theme song.
Something like “Vote for
the college levy/Haay
Babeee!” would be just
perfect. Every “rocker”
from here to Timbucktou
will come and vote for the
college levy. Sounds ter
rific, doesn’t it?
As
everyone keeps
writing, “rock-and-roll will
live forever.” But if the
budget levy isn’t passed in
March, this college won’t
live past June. Nothing will
exist save empty buildings
and empty heads. Let’s
concentrate on passing this
budget levy so, a couple of
years from now, we won’t
see signs spray-painted on
buildings saying:
Clackamas Community
College lives!

A BIG thanks to all involved
To The Editor:
A “Letter to the editor” is
one way to communicate and
hopefully reach all the students
and staff who participated in
the C.C.C. Festival of the Per
forming Arts. To all who did—a
big THANK YOU is in order!
To the dancers, actors/ac-
tresses, musicians/singers, and
video
artists--
CONGRATULATIONS! Not
only did you present three fine
performances, bat you also
were able to cooperate and
work together as one cohesive
group. This was no small feat
considering the somewhat less
than ideal conditions for a
technical undertaking of this
magnitude.'
To the staff, who showed
dedication to their respective
art form, to the college, and to
a goal set forth some nine mon
ths ago during Spring Term of
1980—Thanks! Without your
combined expertise, coopera
tion, dedication and patience,
the show never could have
taken place.
To the combined audiences,
some 700 people, thank you
for attending and supporting
the performing arts students of
Clackamas Community Col-,
lege.
To all those who supported
the program from “behind the
scenes”--the college custo
dians, electricians, staff arid
students who cooperated and
accepted the inconveniences of
practices and performances in
the Mall-Thank you!
It took time, effort, dedica
tion, talent, patience, and
cooperation on the part of
some 75 individuals who were
directly involved with the pro
gram to make the C.C.C.
Festival of Performing Arts a
success! x To all . who
participated-THANK YOU!

idea how smart they are, and
besides, we’re talking about
“music” not “brains.” :
The type of music played
was obviously advertised to be
“rock,” so I have no idea why
you expected “Disco, or soul.”
If you want to hear these, go to
your local “Disco Studio/;
“Disco is out,” but rock-n-roll
will live on forever. The songs
are also a matter of opinion. I
would like to know what is
wrong with some “oldies’* of
the Rolling Stones and other
groups.
If you don’t appreciate the
old songs played, you must not
appreciate music at all. As for
you not liking loud music, go
home and watch Lawrence.
Welk.
As for advice, I would advise
you to appreciate older music
as well as new. If you want to
hear “new” music, go buy the
album. Arid as for writing
reviews, I would advise you to
go and learn a little more oni
critiquing things.
The only thing that the band
has against.them right now is
the- fact that they do not have*
the right contacts to become
professional. I think the “Edge
of Max” deserves some credit'
for all they have done.
