ed. Survey
sent out
During the next week,
several households in the
college district will receive an
"Adult Vocational Interest
Survey." The purpose is to
find out what kinds of voca
tional education classes adults
would be likely to take.
Because only a small num
ber of surveys is being sent it
is very important that most of
them are returned.
When the survey comes to
your home, the college asks
you to take a few minutes to
fill it out and mail it back.
Even if you are not interested
in taking vocational training
right now, BMCC needs to
know your opinions.

Now you can afford the
vehicle you need. Ever
notice something about the
new cars? Many of them cost
less to operate, but they sure
seem to cost more to buy in ,
the first place.
Well, we can't do anything
about bringing down the price
you have to pay, but we can
do the next best thing: give
you more time to pay it in. . .
up to 48 months, depending
on purchase price.
The way we see it, those
extra months may let you afford
to buy the kind of vehicle you
really want new car, wagon,
van, camper or light truck.

benefit to
you is simple
