Staff photo MHCC promise kept - no levy Residents in the Mount Hood Community College district can relax the hold on their checkbooks a bit. The Gresham-based college says it w ill live with its year-old promise tc taxpayers and not seek more money in the form of a new levy this year. Instead, ihe college president indicated last Wednesday evening the school w ill make due with funds from its year-old tax base despite getting less money from the state and a 23 percent inflation rate. The MHCC Board began Wednesday what w ill be a two month process in molding a 191-page document and $17.5 million into its education program for 1981-82. Of that $17.5 million, some $6.35 million w ill come from the district’s tax base, which voters approved last spring. The $5.9 million tax base approved last year w ill automatically grow by 6 percent, as allowed by the state law. And MHCC will combine that money with tuition and fees, state and federal government support and other sources of money to form its $17.5 million general fund budget. The general fund is the source of the day-to-day operations of the college used to pay teachers and other employees, operate and maintain its buildings and provide instructional support and student services. College president Stephen Nicholson told the board at the Wednesday meeting the proposed 1981-82 budget reflects the blend of economic recession and optimism of replacing out moded programs with new ones. “ Our previous experience with reduced resources has provided some basis for making changes which enable the college to do more with its remaining resources than we had believed possible," Nicholson said in his budget message. He reminded the board that MHCC promised in 1980 that if voters approved a new tax base the college would not seek a special tax levy this year. But he said the school is able to keep that promise only because it is carrying over savings from its 1979-BO and 1980-81 budgets. "This is a one-time op portunity and cannot be repeated in the coming year when a new tax base will be required to sustain the college," Nicholson said. The general fund budget is proposed to increase by 13 percent — or $2 million — over this year’s budget. But $1.5 million of that is cash it managed to save during the past two years and won’t have available in 1982-83. The college will also gain $338,000 from the 6 percent growth in its tax base and $200,000 from a 10 percent increase in tuition and fees. But it expects to see a decrease of $180,000 in state support and show a loss of $235,000 in uncollectable taxes and tax discounts. Of the proposed $17.5 million general fund, the largest share — 47 percent — goes for instruction. College support services is hte next largest category — 14 per cent — while building operation and maintenance requires 10 percent of the budget. Another 10 percent of the money is kept in the con tingency fund, but that is expected to drop to about 5 percent after mid-year contracts are negotiated with teachers, staff and some managers. Student services requires 9 percent of the proposed budget; instructional sup port, 4 percent; transfers, 4 percent; unappropriated funds, 1.7 percent and .37 percent is being set aside for public service. In other action Wednesday, the MHCC board authorized the college to apply for a federal grant that would pay 90 percent of the cost to make the MHCC aquatic center more energy efficient. The school estimates it would cost $374,000 for energy saving projects that would BUXTON’S • Cut, Wrapped & Frozen—Locker Packs Cattle Hauling on Tuesdays We Do Our Own Cure ..

It is the year 4022 and he is the ancient country of Usa. In 1985, a catastrophe buried Usa under many feet of detritus. If you have read the reverential and imaginative writings on the discovery and excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamen, then you w ill detect a certain creeping fa m ilia rity in the pharaseology of this book. I confess to harboring heretical suspicions about archaeologists and, in particular, some of their re c o n s tru c tio n s . They conjure up a full-blown philosophy and a detailed account of an ancient man’s day-to-day activities that is more revealing than a film star’s memoirs.
