chance to express their feel

and expenses and to enable
the officials and citizens to
learn from each other.
President Daniels' opening
statement was that the college
people were concerned about
the feelings here and were
eager to listen to citizens and
answer any questions.
The matter of scholarships
was covered these are main
ly tuition waivers and match
ing funds for low income
family members. The tuition
grants to high schools are
based on school size and the
local faculties make the
choice. In this county, Hep

was explained that the mile

members on the first team.
The college has no income
from sports and budgets a
total of $65,000 for athletics,
which Daniels said is $4,000
less than was budgeted sever
al years ago. The matter of the
operation of the McCrae
Center was discussed and the
cost to use it, $15 per hour.
Some future planning, such
as the possible phasing out of
low-enrollment studies in ra

forcement and electronics was
mentioned. O'Rourke told of
the possibility of daytime
classes coming soon to Her

to Heppner.

all the communities.
Dr. Harold Huber, Heppner,
a concerned citizen, stated
that BMCC takes about one
half million in Morrow tax
payments each year, which
brings the approximate cost
for each county student who
attends to between four and
five thousand dollars. He de
clared that this county isJ
always the underdog, is al
ways outvoted; that Morrow
pays heavily for benefits that
Umatilla people reap. It was
pointed out that although resi
dents of the two counties pay
the same tax levy, that
Morrow has a much higher
per student cash value than
Umatilla. "Our distance from
the campus cuts our com
munity use of its facilities,"
Huber concluded.
As the forum ended, it was
agreed that there is a definite
need for better communi
cation and development of
better understanding about
how BMCC spends its appro
priated funds.
