Federal
vet law
repealed
Federal Law 94-502 has been repealed.
Educational benefits for veterans w ill not
be interrupted during the fall seuion.
"The new agreement allows us to
certify students for falI session as early as
June 2 0 ," said Mike Umbras, veterans
adm inistration
(VA ) representative at
Clackamas Com m unity College. " In order
to receive continuing benefits a vet should
pre-register for fall term when he registers
for summer session,"
The change w ill not affect veterans who
do not plan to attend summer session.
Vets who wish to attend school in the
fall, bu t no t in the summer, should regis
ter w ith the V A office by Aug. 15, Umbras
said.

Pyramid power is put to the test on the lawn between Barlow Hall and the Community
Center building. This was just one of the many exhibits on display during the Experimental
Energy Exposition held at Clackamas Com m unity College last week. See related story on
page 3.
Both Umbras and Reggie Latham, Cou
gar Vets president, attribute the recent
change to letter campaigns.
"The registrars o f all Oregon institu
tions got together and created a uniform
pre-registration fo rm ," Umbras said. "D u r
ing the meeting they were kind enough to
w rite a jo in t letter to the legislature. The
colleges really lent support where it was
needed."
"N obody is going to be concerned
w ith someone who isn't concerned w ith
him self," Latham said. "Letters to legis
lators showed the am ount o f concern."
Cougar vets w ill not cease to exist just
because one obstacle has been overcome.
"We plan to pursue legislation in the
Oregon Legislature that would provide
tuition free education fo r Oregon veterans
at Oregon institu tio n s," Latham said.
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.
They are also sending 7,000 flyers to
com m unity schools in every public school
classes to the County Courthouse in Ore
gon C ity to vote.
