College President Ron Daniels recommended to the board that no effort be made to adjust the budget in anticipation of the loss of state funding until the legislature had made a final decision about state funding of com munity colleges. He reminded the board that the proposed college budget reflected a $113,522 cut in state funding. As soon as the level of state funding is known, "we will reduce college expenditures equal to the reduction in state funds," the president told the board. He added that a further loss of $24,000 to BMCC may be possible before the legisla tive session ends. The budget figure set by the board totalled $5,417,027. A property tax levy of $3,118,177 will be considered by the voters of Umatilla and Mor row counties on March 30 to balance this budget. The levy per $1 .000 true cash value is up 18 cents from the current years levy of $1.42. An owner of a $50,000 home would be assessed $80 to support the college for the year, the news release stated. In regular business, the board accepted a bid from Executone Telephone Systems to install a new college telephone system. Figures compiled by the college show ed that over the first five-year period with the new system, the college would save $11,635. This amount assumes a 10 percent annual increase in Pacific Northwest Bell rates, the system currently serving the college. The news release continued by stating that at the end of the first five years, the college would own the new system. The annual savings for the sixth year would be $29,872. The board also accepted the Sabbatical Leave Commit tee's recommendation that Don Allen, political science instructor, be granted a sab batical leave from the college for the 1982-83 school year. In granting the leave, the board stipulated that the leave would be granted if funding is still available after the college knows what the level of state funding will . be and if the budget passes in March. All sabbaticals granted are also contingent on the college's being able to find a suitable replacement for the instruc tor. In other business, the col lege board: - voted to oppose a plan currently being considered by the Oregon Community Col lege Association which would allow the association to en dorse political candidates. - heard a construction up-date from architect Jim Lynch on the Morrow Hall addition and remodeling pro ject. The board approved recommended change orders on the projects. - reviewed the college's quarterly financial statement. - approved agreements with Eastern Oregon Hospital and Training Center and Good Shepherd Hospital to provide training facilities for the college's nursing program.

Block recently imple mented and outlined the provisions for a voluntary 15 percent acreage reduction program for the 1982 wheat crop. He also said USDA would allow Immediate entry of the 1982 crop into the farmer-owned grain reserve. To become eligible for government price support loans, target price protection and the farmer-owned reserve program, farmers must re duce their plantings 15 percent from an established base. No direct payments will be made for the acreage reduction, it was announced in a recent USDA news release. The target price for 1982 wheat will be $4.05 per bushel. Loan rates will be $3.55 per bushel for grain placed under the regular loan program and $4 per bushel for 1982-crop wheat entered into the farmer owned reserve. Farmers can enter the 1982 crop immediately into the reserve without waiting for their regular loans to mature. USDA storage payments will be 26' i cents per bushel for wheat placed in the reserve. Wheat will be released from the reserve when the average price received by farmers reaches $4.65 per bushel. Block said U.S. wheat sup plies are 14 percent above last year and next June's carry over is expected to be nearly one billion bushels. This is the result of two successive record U.S. wheat crops and a recordsetting 1981 world har vest. Block said the reduced acreage program - coupled with an aggressive export program - will strengthen prices by reducing the 1982-83 marketing year supplies. Participating farmers must reduce their acreage of wheat planted for harvest by at least 15 percent from an established wheat base. Generally, the base will be the higher of either the 1981 wheat acreage or the average of the 1980-81 wheat acreages. However, for farms that have been follow ing a definite crop rotation pattern, the base will reflect such rotations. The acreage taken from production must be devoted to conservation uses. For example, a farmer with a 1981 planted acreage of 100 acres must plant no more than 85 acres of wheat for 1982 harvest, for program eligibil ity, ine remaining 15 acres (17.65 percent of 85 acres) must be devoted to conserva tion, stated U S D A. If the farmer plants fewer than the permitted 85 acres, he or she will be permitted to devote fewer acres to conser vation. For example, if only 50 acres are planted, only 8.8 acres (17.65 percent of 50) will FULL LINE OF raw FLYERS POSTERS MULTI-PART FORMS BUSINESS FORMS REGISTER RECEIPTS LETTER HEADS & ENVELOPES in VS.'

The land taken from produc tion and devoted to conserva tion must be. eligible cropland, protected from wind and water erosion. Acreage which has already been planted to wheat, and then designated as reduced acreage, may be cut for hay or grazed. Otherwise, acreage design ated to meet the conservations requirement may not be mechanically harvested and grazing will not be permitted during the six principal grow ing months. No payments will be made for land devoted to conservation. Neither offsetting com pliance nor cross compliance will be required. This means that farmers owning or oper ating more than one farm will not be required to participate on ull farms in order to obtain program benefits on partici pating farms. Also, participa tion In the wheat program is not required to qualify for program benefits on other crops grown on the farm. I Sign-up began February 10 and will run through April 16, concluded the news release.
