"With our college enrollment
Increasing 12 to 13 per cent a

it allowed for no new major pro

mittee March U SUISH.X'S,
an increase of $i."H,504 over the
current year's figure.
'This is the first budget In
crease in two yearn," President
McCrae pouted out. adding that
the college "actually lost ground
last year In ita oK-ratin budg
et." Comparing the BMCC levy
with those of other community
colleges In Oregon, President
McCrae said Blue Mountain's to
tal lew this year la 22 cents
under Ihe average for the state.
He said also that Umatilla and
Morrow counties were the only
counties In the state whose
property tax levies for Commu
nity colleges were not Increased
the past year.
R-l School Budget
Election Slated
(Continued from page 1)
this $13.15 compares with $16.90
paid for schools at i'endleton,
$16.67 at Pilot Rock where the
figure will go to S-'O.IT ir tnelr
l!i!-70 budget is approved,
$18.05 at Echo and the possibil
ity of going to $21.29, $21.24 at
llermiston and the possibility of
coin i? to $23.02.
Morrow county's levy is less
principally because no great
Increase has been provided for
teachers.
Percentagewise, Daniels said,
Morrow county taxpayers pay
71.74 of their tax dollar for
schools. In Umatilla county they
pay 77.77 for schools; in Gil
liam county, 72.35; and In
Wheeler county, more than 92.
Daniels said that the old
School District 1 levy, which
goes back to the pre-consolida-
tion days, will go off after the
coming year, and this will cut
the tax load somewhat. This
year, in Heppner, the figure
amounts to 83c per $1000 TCV.
In discussing what he called
"The Battle of the Budget," the
superintendent said that the
directors and administrators of
the district would like to reverse
the process of having no one
appear at the budget hearing to
state objections and opposing it
at the ballot box. They would
prefer that the public's views be
heard at the hearing with the
hope of presenting a budget
that all could support at the
polls.

Diamondmen Lose To Nyssa, Burns
Nyssa won the Pilot Rock In
vitational baseball Tourney on
March 2S and 21) by a substant
ial margin. The four team tour
ney proved too much for llepp
ner lllgh's Mustangs, so newly
out for spring sports. The Horse
men dro:ed both their contests,
to Nyssa, 10 0, and to Burns in
the consolation bracket, 8 3.
Pilot Rock also lost twk-e.
In the Nyssa clash the Mus
tangs' bats just wouldn"t con
nect. The Heppner boys sot a
mere two base hits, a single by
Larry Pettyjohn and double
by Keith CurnutL
Pettyjohn went the distance
on the mound, allowing 10 runs
on five hits, fanning 10, and
walking seven.
Lewis stayed on the hill for
Nyssa, giving up no runs on
two hits and walking three.
Saturday looked brighter, with
the Mustangs deadlocked with
Burns until the last frame. The
seventh Inning, which opened
3-3, proved to be fatal, however,
as Burns collected five tallies
and the win.
lleppner batters ripped out
five hits, with John McCabe
lashing bases-loaded single
which sent two runs across, Mike
Smith knocked In the other
lleppner run with a single.
