I opinion In response This editorial is in response to a letter to the editor on this page concerning the levy election. The letter calls this school a poor investment and states that all but two of the departments on campus are not operating at an acceptable-college level. The signees also say they are tired of weak department heads and poor instructors. They manage to tie all this in with the levy defeat expressing their thanks to those who helped defeat the levy. We have some questions and some thoughts to throw out to these 'concerned' students. Why wait till the last week of school to point a finger at these alleged college weaknesses? Why not name names? If you don't have the guts to confront these 'weak' department heads and 'poor' instructors face to face, you've got no right to complain. These vague charges of yours have the ring of true ignorance and stupidity that plagues the legions of do- nothing complainers. We would really like to see something along the lines of constructive criticism because this letter of yours says nothing. Finally, you can thank the residents of Clackamas County for defeating the levy but anybody who thinks that the student vote had anything to do with the defeat is way off base. Not enough students even bothered to vote to make a difference.

The thrill of defeat To the Editor: We would like to thank the students and residents of Clai County who were concerned enough to vote down the pri school budget levy. We are happy to see that the people county are finally realizing that Clackamas Community Co nothing more than an over-rated high school. It is about time that the college board understand thattl pie of this county are not going to give away their hard earned for an investment as poor as this school. We are tired of havin department heads and poor instructors. Of all the departments at CCC, we feel that the counseli business departments are the only two that operate at an aca college level. At this time we would like to give special thanks to Artl Bob Lilly and Doi lie Ammons for their outstanding efforts« departments to help their students learn as much as p Clackamas Community College is not owned by the board, the administration, or the faculty.
