TVCC Budget Election Treasure Valley Community College seeks approval on their 1971-72 operating budget at an election Friday, February 19. Nyssa voters will go to the polls at the Multi-purpose room of the Primary Building, and Adrian residents will vote at the Adrian Elementary School. The college administration and board have had a rather dif ficult few months in view of the controversy which has arisen over the OEO Migrant program. These difficulties have some what obscured the fact that life goes on and the college is still in business doing what it is supposed to be doing, educating our young people. As the facts have come out on this controversy it has become increasingly evident that the college board has stood firm in face of demands by an activist group whose main purpose seems to have aims contrary to that of education. In standing firm, the college has gained support from farm and business groups throughout the TVCC district. The Treasure Valley Community College administration and Budget Committee have kept their promise to operate the college next year within the limits set last year. The levy we are asked to approve will be down considerably from the current Jevy, or about $2.60 per $1,000 as against the current levy of $2.93. In studying the proposed budget, we see no significant areas where further'euts can be made. We intend to support the budget, and hope that the college can get on with its work. Won’t you go to the polls Friday, and whatever your beliefs, back up your best judgment with your vote.

The game was well-played and well-officiated. Saturday night’s win over Emmett was even more exciting, here, high school, 8 p.m, LiXUJJ4.LU4.ij U4 -M-I j because the Bulldogs had to come from far behind and pour it on in the last quarter for victory. The game was much more ragged, and perhaps because of that, so was the officiating. CRADLE However, Emmett was called for 21 fouls to 20 for Nyssa, so ROLL the referees were impartial -- as they must be. This leads up to a very unpleasant distraction at the game -- MALHEUR needless and unsportsmanlike BOOING.
