"If nothing Is done, this
money will revert to another In
stitutlon," McCrae said.
Bend Issue Proposed
The hoard has proposed a
$1,250,000 bond Issue which
would actually reduce the an
nual levy a "little bit" this year
because It would cancel tne cur
rent serial levy. The bond issue,
however, would extend over a
20-year period. Election on the
issue will be held in the two
county district on April 2 at the
usual polling places for county
school elections In Morrow and
Umatilla counties.
Another reason why the dir
ectors are anxious to build this
year Is that construction costs
are continually Increasing, the
president said.
"They are climbing at the
rate of some 5 per year," he
added.
He said there are no plans for
construction In the physical ed
ucation areas at this time and
the cultural complex would be
the final phase of the board's
construction program.
"Any future building rtan
would be dictated by the future
program, he said.
The armory In Pendleton Is
used for physical education, and
this is a good facility, McCrae
declared. The college rents Its
use for Its physical education
program.
The new building would offer
Deginnings in art and music,
something for which need has
been felt and expressed.
Budget 'Holds Line'
President McCrae said that
this year's operational budget
remains very nearly the same
as for 1967-68, the tax incrcas
ing only about $9,000.
"Our directors are very aware
oi tne increasing burden on tax
payers," he said, pointing out
mat they had worked hard to
"hold the line" and did a good
job of doing so.
While instructional costs will
be up considerably and fixed
charges (mainly "due to social
security and retirement) will al
so be up, additional resources

have come to offset the increase
"The legislature did a real
fine thing operationally for us,"
McCrae said. "They increased
our per pupil contribution"
This, coupled with added tu
ition from greater student en
rollment, virtually offsets the
total increase of some $100,000
in the budget, closing the gap
to the approximately $9,000.

Abroms Commended
McCrae expressed appreciation
of the work of Bob Abrams of
Heppner as director on the col
lege board since its Inception
and to Homer Hughes of Lex
ington for his work on the budg
et committee. He also compli
mented Principal Dick Carpen
ter of Heppner High school for
his "fine work" with the col
lege's adult program.

important step for the institu
tion, he pointed out.

Margaret Marks, who gradua
ted from Heppner High school
and is now living in Buea, West
Cameroon, Africa, while her
father, Les Marks, formerly of
Condon, Is serving there in
civilian capacity, has not yet
tound any evidence that Africa
is the "dark" continent, she
writes in a letter to the Ga
zette -Times.
"Cannibals, wild beasts and
teeming jungles is the American
concept of Africa," she writes.
When I decided to take out a
year from Oregon State Univer
sity and loin my parents in Af
rica, I wasn't sure just what to
expect.
"I have been in West Cam
eroon, Africa, for three weeks
now (letter was written Febru
ary 16) and have seen no evi
dence of this being the 'dark'
continent. No cannibals in sight
and the wildest beast I have
seen was a rabbit.
"Our home is in Buea, West
Cameroon. To refresh your geog
raphy, the continent of Africa
is 2 times larger than the
United States. West Cameroon is
south of Nigeria on the west
coast of Africa. It is the English
speaking state of the Republic
of Cameroon. The other state,
East Cameroun. is its French-
speaking counterpart.
"Buea is located 3.000 feet ud I
Mt. Cameroon, which looms up
an additional 10,000 feet right
out our living room window. It
is an active volcano, which last
erupted in 1959.
"The Atlantic Ocean is only
20 miles down the mountain
and has miles of uncrowded
beach, warm water, breakers,
and brown sand. The brown
sand is a product of the vol
cano. "For recreation there is a club
nearoy with tennis courts, swim
ming pool and a eolf course.
Horses are also available for riding.
Despite the fact that Rnpa
is only five degrees from the
equator, our weather is perfect
so far. We are in the middle of
the dry season with warm days,
not hot, and cool nights.
"Our home is auite laree with
manogany iioors and furniture.
In fact, we burn mahogany in
our lireplace. It is their 'trash
wood here.
ine L-ameroonians are very
irienuiy ana quite nospitable.
They have a country that has
so much potential and they are
Deginning to realize it."

To the early settler, Northwest forests offered both opportunity and challenge.
