Ballot Measure No. 1 provides bond-borrowing authority for a limit of $25 million for college and university construction, and $5 million for community col lege and vocational-technical school buildings. The authority is usable only through 1969 and cannot exceed the ceiling esiao lished. Each legislative session must approve the portion used for each biennium. The 1963 legislature approved a limit of $12.5 million for col lege and university buildings this biennium and $1.4 million for the community colleges and vocational-technical schools. More than $11 million addit ional in general fund approp riations for buildings were can celled after the October election. Leaders in the colleges for Oregon's Future program have pointed out that failure of the bond measure on May 15 would result in virtually a complete halt this biennium to construct ion for Oregon public post-high school education and would also keep the state schools from getting their share of the federal building funds under the new college facilities act.
