NOW, HAROLD'S HEAD SHOP
TA5 MAIN STREET PRESENTS
On Tuesday, April 19, voters will be asked to approve
the 1977-78 operating budget for Clackamas Community
College. The college has no tax base and must have
local approval for an operating levy each year.
The present tax rate for operation of the college is
$1.46 per thousand dollars true cash value. According
to college officials, that rate will not be increased if the
operating levy ($3.58 million) is approved by voters»
April 19.
This week the Cougar Print interviewed 74 residents
of Clackamas County in an attempt to "sniff which way
the wind is blowing." All were non-students. All were
registered voters.
The question asked was this: "Will you vote for or
against the CCC operational levy on April 19?"
another thrilling episode t
"R ick ranger , dope smuggler "!
Results:
"Is it that soon?"
"How much this time?"
"Vote against"
"Not sure"
It is an unfortunate fact of local government that
only those "opposed" turn out to vote. Those in favor
sit home all too often watching "Disneyland" and pay
lip-service to the issue.
Education (at least at CCC) may be the one com
modity that hasn't increased in price this year.
Archie Bunker probably isn't registered. Get up!
Students encouraged
