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.

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.
