T H U R S D A Y , N O V E M B E R 21, 1974 Buss Belongs on Commission We don’t envy the County Com missioners. The three-man board must pick a local area resident to represent our portion of the county on the Clackamas County Planning Com mission. Names of 12 qualified and capable locals have been su b m itted for co n sideratio n. The im p o rtan t decision is due next week. The m ajority of candidates are affiliated with local land use planning groups in Sandy, Firwood, Boring, Cottrell, Hoodland and Eagle Creek. This nucleus is a logical reservoir for such a position. These people are already in tune with the workings and implications of wise land use planning within the county, especially this area. Three of the names submitted to the commissioners are m embers of a m ountain group who form ed to support the planned Cedar Ridge development. While spokesmen for the group deny that this is their only reason for forming, the commissioners shouldn’t overlook this as being the original stimulus behind organization. While several of the 12 candidates come highly qualified, the Post feels Ken Buss, of Sandy, would be a wise choice for the County P lanning Commission. Buss has illustrated his ability as co-executive officer of SCAN, the local Sandy area land use study group. A civil engineer, he has had ex perience in various phases of design and construction of all sorts of projects ranging from county roads and streets to sewers, water, sewage tre a tm e n t p lan ts and m ajo r buildings. Buss is currently a geotechnical m aterials engineer for the Mt. Hood National Forest. Considering his past experience and sincerity for the job, he seems to be the best person for the position. The Railroad Is Running Winds of change are blowing in the community college movement. That was all too apparent at the assembly of the A m erican A ssociation of Com m unity and Ju n io r Colleges which this w rite r atte n d ed last weekend in Airlie, Va. Briefly, community colleges are adapting to changing life styles by offering more courses at different hours, to different level age groups, to different types of people. The usual pattern in American life was (a) go to school (b) go to work and (c) retire. Now all three are mixing together. People take a job, then go to school to improve their qualifications. Others work, then retire, then go back to school to enrich their later years. Community colleges are appealing more and more to adults. The average age in the Denver system this fall was 29 years old and at some colleges in Florida, the average is even higher. Community colleges no longer can aim just at high school graduates, say those between 18 and 20. Getting a diploma no longer is as important as filling a particular need at a par ticular time. Speakers at the AACJC assembly also emphasized that community colleges have a responsibility to know when not to lead. Sometimes, others can do things better. Moreover, a college must be as willing to lop off courses as to add them. Ju st because a course once was popular shouldn’t mean it’s forever. The time of unlimited expansion for all schools is past and community colleges were urged to take the lead in rethinking old policies and programs. The ideal situation was described as one in which the institution joins hands with the community in seeking new ways to serve. And how does our school, Mt. Hood Community College, score? Rather well, we think. Many of the things they talked about in Virginia already have been implemented at Mt. Hood. Like adult-enrichment courses, like classes at different places in the district, like classes in the evening when ad u lt p a rtic ip a tio n comes easier. F u tu re grow th in com m unity colleges will come from non- traditional services, offered to non- tra d itio n a l au d ien ces, in non- traditional ways. In other words, different courses offered to all ages in all sorts of settings. Mt. Hood already is on the way. Trouble in the M iddle East East Coast newspapers seem much more preoccupied than those in the West about possibility of renewed Arab-Israeli hostilities. P e rh a p s i t ’s geographical proxim ity, p erh ap s th e re a re financial overtones, p erhaps i t ’s m ilitary p re ssu re . W hatever the reason, you get the impression that renewed fighting in the Middle E ast is almost inevitable. The Israelis, one theory goes, are being forced into a pre-emptive strike by growing Arab strength It’s not considered unlikely that the Israelis may strike and seek to hold at least one of the major Arab oil fields. The danger to the U S.. to all of the free world is incalculable. The West would immediately be cut off from Arab oil and slow strangulation for many countries would be inevitable. M oreover, th e long-feared con frontation between the two super powers, the US and the USSR, wouldn't be far behind. The frightening prospects explain the intense U.S. effort to defuse the situation. Realistically, the Arabs have to give up their bombast about driving the Israelis into the sea. For their part, the Israelis have to give up some of the territory they’ve taken by force. Israelis and Arabs eventually are going to have to live together in peace. Is a war necessary for them to see the light? Supplemental budget passed The Sandy city council unanimoualy approved its proposed *44.233 72 sup- piemental budget Monday night. The budget is based entirely on federal revenue sharing finds, THE O-O-O-N-NLY WAY TO F lY I’ LETTERS ToThe EDITOR To the Editor: Editorial writers continue to wail at the predicament of the school d istricts of Oregon whose boards and ad ministrators have to call the voters to the polls again and again to pass an operating budget. The articles cry about wasting hundreds of thousands of tax dollars on these elec tions. And they point out that three Oregon districts, on the verge of slamming their doors on the students, were only saved by a drudging electorate at the last-ditch Nov. 5 election. The w rite rs urge the Legislature to legalize something that will separate the voters from their franchise to turn down a budget. In one district of nearly 1000 students, the superintendent was asked to furnish the school board with figures on the cost of a second election. The figure was *381.00—for ballots, election - board, poll books, advertizing—the whole bit. Of course w ith the counties fumbling with the elections for the last year, this coat would multiply. In many cases a board will attribute a budget failure to “lack of communication,” and will re-submit the same budget after a suitable period for brainwashing. Sometimes this gimmick works, but when it doesn’t, the board reconvenes in a sweat for a frenzied session of fat-cutting, as they should have done in the first place. Most budgets fail because they are too high. In the above- mentioned d istrict the fa t cutting amounted to *46,000.00, and in another year, *36,000.00. The editorials don’t mention the millions saved by astute voters in turning down these over-fed budgets. And let’s not belabor the possibility that education will suffer for lack of these funds. Voters have had a belly-full of today’s high school graduate, only half as well educated as his parents, at ten times the cost. Oregon School Law adequately provides for districts to adjust their tax- bases by election. Few tax-base elections would fail if boards would submit the figure of this year's budget to be next year’s taxbase. But boards get CRAG to discuss hiring specialist by Margaret Hoard The executive board of the Columbia Region Association of Governments (CRAG) will take action on hiring a com munication specialist at its meeting Tuesday, Nov. 26, at 527 SW H all, Portland. H ie meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. with a 15 minute tour of the new CRAG facilities, located on the third floor of the P ortland State Book Store building. The board normally meets Thursday but moved the date up to Tuesday next week, because of Thanksgiving. Following the tour, agenda items to be discussed include a staff report on the Fasano Decision; release for public discussion of the Columbia- W illam ette Region Com prehensive Plan; and a com mittee report on state bond highway project priorities The Metro Committee of the League of Women Voters has studied the need for a com munications specialist at CRAG. They recommended investing funds in the com munications position to aid the public in understanding of CRAG’S fisiction.

Hearing set on Sandy water The Portland Metropolitan Boundary Commission has announced a public hearing on form ation of a com m unity water system to be located nine miles north of Sandy. Called “ Hideaway Hills,” the community water system has been proposed for the east edge of Herrick Road and both sides of Latigo Lane. The hearing will be held Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. in room 680 of the Multnomah County Court house, 1021 SW 4th Ave. in Portland. Any interested person may appear at this time to testify on the proposal Mobile home turn down appealed A denial by the Clackamas Couity Board of Adjustment on a request to use a mobile home for a temporary residence will be appealed to the Board of Couity Commissioners on Dec. 4, at 10 a m. in Room 201 of the County Courthouse in Oregon City. Walter R. Von Bergen has filed for the hearing. The mobile home is located on the west side of Keisecker Road just south of Reim Road in the Sandy area Von Bergen would like to use the home as a residence for his parents who require special greedy -o r lazy and want to add “just five or 10 per cent. ” So the election fails. There is nothing the matter with the law, and nothing the m atter with the voters. Boards need to hold tax-base elections presenting a base that will barely squeak by. And they will pass. If the press wants to enter the picture, it had best do so by fairly reporting the issues, costs and savings. And let’s let our legislators know that we don’t need any more bills referred to the voters which meddle with local school finance. They would do well to make the state devise an in- tellegible budget summary for publication. Milton M.
