Faculty and students urged to vote Budget goes before voters again By Happie Thacker Staff Writer Clackamas Com m unity College students and faculty who plan to return next year should make an e ffo rt to get out and vote on the budget levy on May 24 and to get others to do so. According to Howard F ryett, election steering committee chairman, it w ill be August 19 before it can go before the pub lic again if the budget doesn’t pass this time. This would mean that programs for next year could be sharply curtailed. W ithout voter approval, CCC has no local money; money which accounts fo r about 43 per cent o f the total budget. "U n til we have that we can't plan any programs or plan on money from the state or federal funds," said Bill Shreve, public inform ation officer. According to Shreve, the state money is structional quality is high, it is close to home and it offers a broad range of special programs. Also affected by the budget election are the more than 30,000 non-students who attend campus functions such as workshops, clinics, conferences and meetings. The highly popular com m unity school programs w ill feel the effects of the levy vote. It i t fails the programs w ill be dis continued along w ith those o f the college due to lack of funds. F rye tt and his steering committee are coordinating a massive effo rt to get people out to vote. They are asking the staff to w rite per sonal messages to friends to remind them to vote, sending post cards to the general public and working on a mass telephone campaign to call voters on election day to get them to the polls.
