Oregon’s good fortune. Senator
Yturri is informed, articulate

Bridge Span
To Ih* Placed
During the week of March
11-17, the Fremont Bridge cen
ter span, weighing more than
6,000 tons and stretching 902
feet in length, will be floated
upstream from its present site
at the Port of Borland's Swan
Island Industrial Park and lif
ted into its place between the
existing approaches.
The entire operation--float,
positioning, and jacking--pro
mises to be one of the most
complex
and ambitious en
gineering efforts undertaken in
the history of bridge building.
The plans have attracted wide
spread interest.
Front row from left, is Peter Imhoff,
Gale Christensen and Dan McGinnis. Hack

ministration Building, Aiken

School, Harper School, Vale
High School, Adrian Grade
School,
Annex School, Hun-
5.tigton School, Nyssa Primary
School, and Willowcreek School.
The budget proposed will
operate at a rate of $2.39, rais
ing $659,291 dollars, an in
crease of 65j over the current
year’s requirement. The pro
posal reflects several changes
from the current year opera
tion. First the estimated FTE
enrollment for the coming year
is 1040, an increase of 15
FTE. Second, the figure in
cludes a 6.5$ increase for col
lege employees, inclusive of
increment,
raise and fringe
benefits. Third, a portion of
the budget adjustment accounts
for increases in employer con
tributions to Social Security and
Public Employment System set
by state and federal legislation.
Fourth, funds are included for
two vocational programs which
have been proposed to the state.
These programs are Body and
Fender Repair, and Veterinary
Technician. Based on studies
of both student interest and area
employment
opportunities,
these would be valuable addi
tions to the college curricula
both for the college and the
Treasure Valley area. The bud
get proposal contains funds for
equipment, supplies and sala
ries necessary to implement
these programs.
