' - - - --f'" ARCHITECTS SKETCH of the proposed third building at Blue Mountain Community College, the Cultural Complex, is reproduced here. The build ing would house a library; student center; bookstore; fine arts laboratory, including classrooms, theater workshop, and production center; an ag ricultural unit; art and music center; administrative unit; and faculty office and stor age areas. It would also in clude, on a lower leveL mech anical room, game room, stu dent affaire center. Journalism area and storage. The structure would cost on estimated SI .248.540. and it is proposed that this would be financed by a 20-year bond issue of approximately $1,250, 000, which would cancel an existing annual serial levy 'tor SI 20.000. By cancelling the levy, the directors of the college state that taxpayers would pay less in the ensuing year then they would under the bond issue, although the bond issue would extend for 20 years. They point out that a $250,000 al location from the state will be lost unless the plan is un derway by early summer. This is the third and final phase in the college construc tion program to provide for enrollment that is expected to reach as much as 1200 stu dents. Election on the bond issue, to be held in the two-county (Morrow and Umatilla) dis trict will be held on Tuesday, April 2.

Takes Air Force Test Steve Pettyjohn, Heppner High school senior, went to Seattle Sunday, accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Howard Pettyjohn, to take tests for an Air Force scholarship. Physical examina tion was to be given Monday, tollowed by a written test on Tuesday. Pettyjohn has passed the first cut towards receiv ing a scholarship which would permit him to attend a college of his choice tor four years, af ter which he would serve with the Air Force for four years. The scholarship would include tuit ion at the college and $50 per month. Academic standing ac tivities and other factors are considered in awarding the scholarship. Blue Mountain Community College board of directors last Wednesday night approved pre liminary sketches of a multi purpose building on the college campus and authorized election on the building program to be held April 2. Facilities to be included in the new building include a library, student center, agricultural wing. lecture hall, art and administra tive offices. Several teaching sta tions and faculty offices would be included. The board last month unan imously approved plans to place before voters of Umatilla and Morrow counties a $1,250,000 bond issue to replace a serial levy of $120,000 a year which is currently financing the college's building program. If approved at the April 2 election, the bond issue would reduce taxes for col lege buildings by about 20 per cent for the first three years. Also scheduled for vote at the April 2 election is the college's operating budget, which is set at amost the identical amount approved last year. The levy will total $389,921 and will require a tax of about 75 cents per $1,000 oi true casn value on property in the district. The board of directors has been able to increase Droprams. staff and salaries without in creasing the tax levy by utiliz ing casn oaiances accumulated over past years and by holding the line on purchases of equip ment and supplies. Increased fi nancial assistance from the state has also tended to hold the lo-1 pn.c kAnro cai tax levy down. v.enrer urges more in calling the bond election Students to Register last month the board pointed out r r n ror i.c.v. rrogram the critical need for a library, student center, and related teaching facilities. The board al so noted that construction costs are rising by at least 5 percent a year. Mrs Verne Dale, Helix, chair man of the board, explained that the bond issue must be approv ed this spring if college is to take advantage of state match ing funds. The state has allo cated $250,000 to Blue Mountain Community College this year, Mrs. Dale said, and if construc tion is delayed the money could be reassigned to another college. Also considered bv the board was tne promise oi additional state funds for future construe tion. If the proposed building lew is approved, Blue Mountain would be entitled, unaer tne present state formula, to enough additional state future construc tion funds to fill all foreseeable building needs. 6th Graders Help Sponsor Cards' Page Jack Lovd's sixth grade class was among those who contribu ted to sponsorship of the page that congratulated lone High school's basketball team in tne nnTottn.Timps last week and wished them success in the dis trict tournament, according to Mrs. Marylee Hiemstra, lone school secretary.
