Have you received your copy
of the New Testament yet?
Many students here at CCC
heard this question on Monday,
when Gideons International vis
ited the campus.
Gideons International, which
was founded in about 1899, is an
organization of Christian business
and professional men. The group
has members in 146 countries, the
most recent being Romania.
When the group comes to
Clackamas, they send about eight
men to stay for one to two days
and distribute the small, green
copies of the New Testament
Each year, the Gideons pass
out about 1000bibles here, which
constitutes a small portion of the
approximately 30 million copies
they give out every year to loca
tions around the world.
When asked about the re
sponse they receive at Clackamas,
two Gideon members, Donald R.
Smith and Donald R. Lucich both
said that the response, in most
cases, was "very positive.”
“It is always a pleasufe for us
to come here,” said another Gid
eon, Earl Kabel, “because we get
such a good response.”
Most of the students don’t
seem to mind the Gideons. Some
of them get upset if they are asked
more than once if they would like
a Bible, but most are very toler
ant
• “I think it’s fine,” said stu
dent Ginny Cowan. “They’re not
pushy. I think they ought to have
the right to hand out the Bible.
You don’t have to take it”
“I think it’s great,” said an
other student, Paul Champlain.
“If people wanted to give me a
copy of the Koran, Fd be happy to
take one of those, too.”
“It’s a public place,” said David
Plankinton, also a student here at
CCC. “There are some things that
you just have to contend with in a
free society.”
“It’s freedom of religion. It’s
also my choice not to accept it,”
stated Steve Jones, student
Some students aren’t so tol
erant
“They have the right to be
here,” said student Mark Veta-
nen, “but if the college is going to
allow them here, where are the
Zen Buddhists, for example? The
college should allow other groups
on campus if they ask, not just the
Gideons.”

the college] they have.”
According to a President’s
Council memorandum from Lee
Fawcett, over 60 percent voted
yes in seven out of ten Communi
ties in which Wilsonville, home of
a major CCC satellite campus,
came in ahead with 65.5 percent
voting yes. Canby went from a 46
percent 1989 yes margin to a 60.4
percent yes this year. The memo
also reports that there was a little
more than a 10 percent gain in 60
percent of the communities.
This may have been due to
the fact that the 1990 ballot was
mainly that of a mail-in type. Al
though not a lot is known de-
mographically about mail-in vot
ing due to its relative newness,
Keyser has faith in it. “I tend to
think that the mail-in ballots help
the college because more people
vote--It gives busy people more
time to vote, [where otherwise they
might forget to get to the polls,]”
said Keyser.
In 1993, a new levy will have
to be brought before the voters as
the 1990serial levy which recently
passed expires. The projection
within the CCC staff is positive
for 1993. However, a tuition in
crease, spread out at about five
percent increments, which will add
up to approximately 15 percent by
the 1993 elections has been pro
posed. This may create mixed
feelings with the voters.
“Tuition increases are un
popular with a lot of people;
however, they are popular with
other individuals in the commu
nity who think that the direct user
ought to pay-a greater share,”
Keyser states. “They believe if the
user doesn’t pay their fair share,
then their property taxes go up: so
it’s a balance issue. Even if we
raised our tuition $10 (4 percent),
we would still be the lowest in the
metro area.”
* Despite these increases and
Oregon’s tax' structure based
unpopularly on property taxes,
Clackamas Community College
has its fingers crossed and sup
port ready to campaign for the
1993 election.
“We have to start thinking
right now about three years down
the road,” Keyser comments. “The
best thing we can do is keep doing
a good job in everything that we
do: all of our classes, all service
areas, to be as responsive as we
can to the community, and if we
are, we’ll pass again if wc develop
a reasonable budget.”
