Caudle was there last month representing the views and concerns of CCC students. felt frustration at Bunn’s stead fast, “almost egotistical” ideas. “Representative Bunn couldn’t seem to see that this affects people’s lives. He has the knowl edge but not the concern,” said Caudle. According to Caudle, Con gressmen and Senators “don’t get enough of the personal touch through the everyday media. It bothers me mostly because I see the effect of the cutbacks all across Oregon and I see how frustrated students are becoming. The Sena tors and Congressmen don’t have the day-to-day experience of go ing to school and dealing with program cuts,” he added. Caudle also noted, “Cutbacks won’t directly affect college pro grams, but with less financial aid, fewer students will be able to at tend college and then programs will have to be cut.” Caudle said that his visit to Washington D.C. did succeed in helping to educate legislators on how financial aid helps individual communities. “The best way to bring about productive change towards edu cational funding is to be educated in what the funding cuts will af fect,” said Caudle. He encourages anyone interested in learning more about financial aid cuts to stop by the ASG office, room 140, in the Community Center and talk to him personally.
