Halford new senator by Margy Lynch Staff Writer Tony Halford has recently been selected as the new student government senator, who will serve under Scot Camberon, ASG En tertainment Coordinator. The position opened when previous senator, Makeeba Shaugnessy, failed to meet ASG grade requirements. Halford saw that the position was open from a poster on cam pus. He went through a process similar to what the other ASG senators went through which re quired that the applicants submit an application and go through an interview process. It was also re quired that the senator attend a retreat Along with other ASG and some of The Clackamas Print staff members, Halford attended the C.C.O.S.A.C. workshop held at Mt. Hpod Community College. “I got to meet everybody [Clackamas’ ASG] there. They are all really nice,” said Halford. “I’m really excited to work with them.” Halford is currently working on different projects in ASG. He is working with another senator on planning a ski trip for CCCstu- dents. He is also making and hang ing up posters, helping to pro mote the blood drive, and work ing on a petition for Dr. Doob. Halford doesn’t have any experience in student government specifically, but he does have experience being a leader and a manager. “I know I’ll learn a lot about student government,” he added. Although Halford will later take a break from student govern ment to vacation in Australia, he hopes to continue his involvement beyond this position. January 31,1990 Oregon City, Oregon Levy goes to voters by Aaron Brown Staff Writer and Briane C. Dotson Managi ng/Ncws Editor Clackamas Community Col lege will present a three year, $1.42 per $1,000 operating levy to vot ers for approval on the March 27 election. CCCs current operating levy ends on June30,1990. CCC must pass a new operating levy to keep functioning as CCC is not pro tected by the “safety net.” “There might be some confu sion among voters whether what they thought they passed last year was an operating levy and not a bond levy,” said Acting Adminis trative Dean of College Services and Planning, Gary Dirrim. The money raised by this levy will be used for operating and maintenance of the college. This levy will not go to finance the construction of new buildings. The current operating levy is $1.32 per $1,000assessed value. A $60,000 home will pay $6 more a year if the new levy is passed. Of the total property tax only about 55 cents per dollar goes to CCC. For the state, the average tax rate for community colleges is $1.92 per $1,000. Treasure Valley Community College is over $5 per $1,000 a year for an operating levy. Currently CCC is eleventh in the state when it comes to tax bases for community colleges. Only Umpqua Community College and Portland Community College have lower tax bases. Since 1985, enrollment at CCC has increased 30 percent, but the staff has increased only four per cent. “The cashier’s office has the same amount of people it did four years ago; as a result, they have to work harder,” said Dirrim. The last day to register to vote in this election is March 6. This is a vote by mail election. Ballots are to be mailed out to voters on March 9. All ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. on March 27. For more information on voter registration contact the Clackamas County Elections Office, 825 Portland Ave,, Gladstone, OR 97027, or call 655-8510. As of now CCC has the only money issue on the ballot in this district. The Friends of Clackamas Community College are planning a door-to-door campaign. Volun teers will help by putting flyers on doorknobs, asking voters for a yes vote. Anyone who is interested in volunteering to help with the door- to-door campaigning is asked to call Assistant to the President for College Advancement, David Dickson at 657-6958 ext. 545.
