Measure 5 will also gradu- ty decrease school funding to $5 IS1000in 1995-1996according to the Nov. 6,1990 Voters’ Pam phlet It also says that the state general fund will be required to replace any revenue lost by public schools so long as this does not grow by more than six percent per year. "It’s not the answer. It’s going to limit school funding,” said State Representative Bruce Hugo, who spoke on campus Monday about the measure. All state funded services and schools could be dramatically af fected by the passage of Measure 5. Although the property taxes of the general public will be re duced, property taxes will be as sessed according to the land’s market value.

Although the decision is not final, a possible solution was reached in meetings yesterday. Instead of moving the Recrea tion Center to the trailer it was proposed that it be moved to Randall room 101, according to Acting Dean of Student Serv ices Dian Connett The President’s Council, the Instructional Council and Stu dent Services Council discussed the issues surrounding the pro posal to move the Recreation Center to Trailer A. Part of the issue involved is that the move to the trailer would be tempo rary as would the move of other departments such as the Finan cial Aid Center, Career and Job Development Center, and Coun seling. “We’re considering the is sues surrounding the game room move and all of the moves, and have decided we want to avoid interim moves, and get the areas that are going to move to their final locations,” Connett said. The initial plan for moving the Recreation Center to Trailer A was that the move would take place sometime during Decem ber, most likely over Christmas break. If the Randall location is finalized the move will be sched uled for sometime in the Spring. “The use of Randall 101 and or part of the lobby will take care of the interim move as well as the long term move,” Connett said. “The time frame will also be moved if this space is chosen. “With the Spring time frame, if it happens, that will give us more time to discuss the problems sur rounding the move,” Connett said. After the proposal to move the Recreation Center was ap proved by the Board three weeks ago, Connett looked into the is sues in depth and formed a list of people’s concerns. “If this idea is approved we will take this time to address the concerns with the game room move to the trailer and apply them to the Randall location,” Connett said. Accord ing to Connett, some of the concerns with the trailer location were access, distance from the center of campus, and security. With the Randall lo cation these problems will be easier to solve. “We are trying to move to ward a decision, but this is a new option to discuss,” Con nett said. “We are hoping that people might feel better about this new option. “This whole issue is con nected with the space problem,” Connettsaid. “We saw this as a better solution to the long term plan. “This plan is just in the dis cussion stages, but I don’t see any major problems with it,” Connett said. “I don’t know if the Fire Marshall or the archi tect will have problems with this location.” Speech team takes third in tournament by Heidi A. Hoffman Staff Writer Five new members tackled their first speech tournament on Oct 11. The tournament was held at Lewis and Clark College, and the Clackamas Community Col lege team took third place over all. The competition areas in cluded impromptu, persuasion, oral interpretation, dramatic read ing, informative and extempora neous. Many of the members are new to the team this year. “College debate is completley different than high school,” said Jared Thatcher, one of the new members. “People that I thought were judges were people that I was competing against The age difference threw me.” The subject this year, as taken from the topic analysis, is: “Gov ernment censorship of public ar tistic expression in the United States is an undesirable infringe ment on individual rights.” The team members have to be objective and support both sides of the issue. “Regardless of what your opinion is [on the subject] that’s not the issue, it’s winning,” observed Thatcher. Tammy Recknor, another new member, feels that the tourna ment was a good experience. “You get a lot of support from other people there,” she said. “You meet a lot of new friends.” The team felt that they did a pretty good job for their first tour nament “I think we work really well together as a team,” said David Nash, a third new member. “We build each other’s confidence.” The team’s main goal is to make it all the way to the nation als. There is, however, a need for a few more members, and a little school support. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Thatcher. “It may seem like it’s boring but it realty isn’t” “Sometimes, it can be realty funny,” adds Nash. “If s like watch ing T. V. live, seeing your favorite comedy show live.” Frank Harlow, the group’s instructor, felt that the group did well. “They got their feet wet,” Harlow said. “We had some good performances,” he added. “Now that they know what to do we’ll see if they can do it” The team members include sophomores Todd Alexander and Bill Andersen, and new members Jared Thatcher, David Nash, Ivy Wall, Tammy Recknor and Rich ard Grooms. The next tournament will be held at The University of Oregon on Oct. 26-28. “We expect an exciting season,” said Harlow.
