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.

Spring Rummage Sale
Schedeuled for April
uatcs tor tne annual spring
rummage sale, sponsored by the
Heppner civic League, have
been announced for the week
end of April 12-13. Co-chairmen
of the sale will be Mrs. Bud
Peck and Mrs. Gerald Rood, with
a location to be announced at
a later time.
Residents who will be engag
ed in spring housecleaning dur
ing the coming weeks are re
minded to keep the Civic League
in mind and save good, usable
items for them to pick up for
the sale. Also, anyone who has
extra plants or shrubs left from
spring transplanting, is asked to
save them for the plant sale.
It is also planned to have a
food sale in conjunction with
the regular sale.
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.
