“We lacked individual campus
support last time and simply lost,”
Brouillette said. “What we’re showing
people now is what it would mean not
to have Clackamas Community Col­
lege here. More importantly what it
really means to have it here.”
Hakanson’s main concern with
the levy during this past year has been
the growing need to improve some of
the College’s programs before they
become obsolete. The current levy that
the College is functioning on only call­
ed for a two percent increase in taxes,
which has not enabled the College to
expand.
With the November failure,
Hakanson is also concerned with the
College’s morale.
Brouillette said a transformation
is taking place. “We need everyone to
get into a positive frame of mind about
the whole thing. I don’t think we did
that last time,” Brouillette said. “We
need to spread the message clearly to
let the voters know exactly what they
are voting for, and we are doing that.”
Brouillette has a positive outlook
for the March election. “We’ll win.
There’s no question about that. It is
just by how much,” he said.

Spring term registration slated
Spring term appointment
cards are now available at the
admissions office in the Com­
munity Center Mall.
Registration for returning
students, by appointment on­
ly, begins on March 12. Ap­
pointment registration for new
students begins on March 13.
March 14 is the day when open
and mail-in registration begins
and all mail-in registrations (7
credits or less) must be
postmarked by March 21.
Those interested in
telephone registration (also 7
credits or less) can call March
19-22 from 2-4 p.m. and must
pay by either VISA or Master­
card. For anyone who cannot
meet the designated deadlines,
there will be a Saturday
registration on March 31 from
8 a.m.-l p.m. Spring term
begins March 26.
An increase in enrollment
is not predicted for spring
term. “Of course we haven’t
started registering yet, but
we’re down this term and so
far the trends have remained
the same,” Mary Dykes, assis­
tant to the registrar, said.
There are several reasons
for the decline. “There are a
number of contributing fac­
tors,” Art Hames, head of
counseling, said. The employ­
ment situation seems to be the
leading cause. “Students used
to be able to quit their jobs to
start school, but now if they’re
offered a job they’ll quit
school to take it,” Hames
said.
