“ To this day, I still agree with our
country’s educational philosophy, a
right to a good quality education for
every citizen; a necessity for a truly
Democratic society. Blue Mountain
Community College is a well run,
highly structured school, which is
very responsive to the key issues fac
ing education, but must continue to
adapt to new and different challenges
in order to enhance those citizens of
our communities opportunities to
earn a higher education. At the same
time, it is important that the College
continues to keep a tight rein on the
budget in order to satisfy their
responsibilities to the taxpayers.
“ The past four years, we have
brought the college a long way in
curriculum development, restored a
good open rapport between faculty,
administration and college board.
“ It is my decision to run again,
because of the continuing challenge
presented to the college by the prison
for services arranged through con
tracts with the State Corrections
Division. Also, because I am con
cerned about maintaining the quali
ty Blue Mountain Community Col
lege has achieved, which benefits
business in Umatilla and Morrow
Counties.
“ Finally, I feel it is important to
continue to work toward more off-
campus offerings closer to smaller
cities in Umatilla and Morrow Coun
ties, and better explain offerings for
our senior citizens within our com
munities to stimulate more citizen in
volvement with the college.”
Houk is opposed by Charles S.
Albro of Pendleton.
