J By Jim Rogers Cougar Print Editor Voters down budget; next attempt in May Clackamas Community College's oper ating levy failed to pass in Tuesday's elec tion by a margin of 135 votes, according to the Elections Office at the"Clackamas Coun ty Court House. The total vote count for the operating levy was 8,401 yes votes to 8,536 no votes. The Elections Office also said that 1,024 voters in the college district voted on other measures but failed to vote one way or the other on the college's operating levy. The percentage breakdown of the vote was 46.7 per cent yes, 47.4 per cent no and 5.7 per cent under votes (votes that could have been but were not cast). One reason for this discrepency in votes could be attributed to voters who support the college but who feel that the amount asked for was too much and decided to ab stain on the matter. Another possibility is voter ignorance as to what to vote on. "There's nothing we can do to get voters to read everything carefully," said a deputy in the elections office at the county court house. According to this source, if voters wanted to make sure that they voted on every mea sure affecting them they could vote on everything on the ballot. The ballots are computer coded to only record votes on specific issues in each area in the county. County areas most receptive to the opera ting levy were the Milwaukie, West Linn and Oregon City areas. County areas that were not so receptive included the Estacada, Col ton, Canby, Redland and Molalla areas. According to Dr. Howard Fryett, CCC Assistant to the President and chairperson of the college's Elections Steering Com mittee, the results of the other levy elec tions may be a factor in the next election. "I think that the fact that so many of the public school levies passed (Canby High School was the only levy to fail) will be a definite factor," said Fryett. Fryett went on to explain that voter turnout could be reduced in many favorable areas where the public schools are all taken care of for next year. The Election Steering Committee will probably meet tomorrow to decide on strategies to get the levy passed. "I would guess that no attempt will be made to convert no votes into yes votes," said Fryett. Fryett also stated that they would em phasize student participation in the elec tion. "The students are still a critical area," said Fryett. "They didn't turn out at the polls like we had hoped. I guess it's a matter of convincing them that they should vote." May 24 has been set as the next try to pass the operating levy. The dollar amount asked for will not change on the second attempt. ugar pr Clackamas Community College Thursday, April 21, 1977 First spring fair slated by ASG jociated Student Government (ASG) |(taken the task of planning the first Mi Fair ever held at Clackamas Com- [Itstarted out as a small fair," said ASG ■president, Marsha Marzano, "and it has Bly grown bigger." he fair will be held Thursday, May 19 Mh Sunday, May 22 and will feature poise and buggy tours of the campus, belly ,jing exhibitions, public football and ¡Iannis competition, a rodeo and possibly a -Based pole contest. ■ The main focus point of the fair is to Ijirovidean open house to inform the public what CCC students are doing.
