- W2021857908 abstract "OORBELL-RINGING has many times been proved an efficacious method of picking up votes for the practical politician; but a new twist was given the old process in Oregon prior to the general election of 1960 when students crusaded for a bond measure for the State System of Higher Education. This was a voluntary effort dreamed up by the student body officers on the various campuses of the state system. Assisted in their organization by a Citizen's Committee called Colleges for Oregon's Future, students rallied in Portland on November 6, 1960, two days before the election, and visited precincts in the metropolitan area on their doorbell-ringing campaign. Precincts to be covered were selected from research material collected after the 1960 May primary election by the Portland State Political Research Bureau under the direction of Assistant Professor Marko L. Haggard and his research assistant, Kenneth Gervais. Statistical research done at this time indicated a very high percentage of negative voting on all measures involving taxation or spending of any kind in certain areas of the city, so the precincts to be visited were selected from these highly negative-minded voter areas. Statistical research subsequent to the election as to the effect of this campaign provides some interesting assumptions; but some background information will be necessary for an understanding of the political and financial facts of life in Oregon. Under the provisions of Article XI-F (1) of the Constitution of the State of Oregon which were adopted November 7, 1950, by a vote of the people, the legislature may permit the credit of the state to be loaned in order to finance the construction of higher education buildings which are to be wholly self-liquidating and self-supporting from revenues, gifts, grants, and building fees. Dormitories, married student housing, health service, athletic facilities, and student activity centers have been provided on the various Oregon campuses in the past ten years through such borrowing on general obligation bonds. However, Oregon's constitution limits the maximum amount of bonds which the legislature may authorize the State Board of Higher Education to have outstanding at any one time to an amount equal to three-fourths of one per cent of the assessed value of all taxable property in the state. The 1959 session of the Oregon legislature, in an attempt to balance the state budget for the 1959-61 biennium, cut in half the State Board of Higher Education's request for twenty million dollars in building funds. Oregon's public colleges have seen a 90 per cent growth in the past seven years from 12,900 to the present 23,139 full time students and present facilities were bulging on most campuses. By 1970 an increase of more than 25,000 FTE (average term enrollments for the academic year) is forecast, more than double the 1960-61 enrollment, and this is a minimum forecast based on percentages of students now in" @default.
