It was intended to cut the state's 51.5 billion budget in half and carry the remaining deficit over into the 1985-84 fiscal year. He stated that We won't spend what we don't have. The budget included a hefty fee increase for 500,000 stu- dents in California'S 110 com- munity colleges, state univer- sities and the University of California system. over 1,400 UC Berkeley students march- ed in protest, and Tokay grad- uates planning to attend Del- ta Community College faced tuition expenses for the first time. After officially going bank- rupt, the California govern- ment was forced to mail over 100,000 IOU'S to people ex- pecting tax refunds. The war- rants, representing a total of S21 million, were immediately Cashable as regular state checks due to a S428 million loan arranged by Jesse Unruh, state treasurer. Fierce campaign competi- tion was prevalent for the November propositions. Near- ly S8 million poured in for Prop. 15, the handgun control measure. opponents spent nearly S6 million of the total. Prop. 11, the bottle bill, which would have required a 5 cent deposit on most beverage containers, was soundly de- feated. Advocates hoped it would eliminate six million tons of litter annually. Prop. 12, the nuclear freeze initia- tive, ordered Gov. Brown to urge President Reagan and other federal officials to ne- gotiate an immediate nuclear weapons freeze with the So- viet union, and the halt of all nuclear weapons manufactur- ing and deployment. Also, the Peripheral Canal Referendum, or Prop. 9 as it was known, was rejected by a vote of 3-2 after 20 years of debate over the waterway that would carry Northern California water south. Despite hard economic times and high unemploy- ment, all five bond issues passed, providing 51.5 billion for schools, veterans, environ- mental planning, newjails and first time home purchases. Bill Honig, newly elected state school superintendent, campaigned on a back-to-ba- sics platform, and began to initiate changes as soon as he took office. He stated that fewer than two-thirds of the 7,000 teachers Who took the first of the new state Teacher Proficiency Exams passed, and commented, These people simplyshouldn'tteach. A measure to lengthen the California school day, one of the shortest in the nation, was killed in the Senate amid fears that it would cost the state an extra 51.2 billion in teachers' salaries and related costs. lt was ironic that Cali- fornia ranked fifth in personal income, but 50th in the per- centage of per capita income allocated to public schools. 1.

lvlother Nature fills skies, ground ith ater supply by lVliCl'l3el SHODDGI Powerful storms, raging winds and crushing waves battered California in a year of record-breaking weather. state politics and the econo- my were equally as turbulent and unpredictable, and even the Queen of England was not spared from the blustery tempests. ln January, the first storm siege caused S71 million worth of damage to homes and businesses along the coast. The surf pounded the shoreline while 60 mph winds ripped through san Francisco and scattered parts of the state. A tornado ravaged part of Los Angeles, and electrical power outages brought sev- eral southern counties to a halt. The Southern California shoreline from san Diego to santa Barbara was hardest hit causing a piece of Highway 1 to slip into the ocean. About 2,000 residents had to be evacuated. Locally, crews worked day and night on the san Joaquin Delta levees, by filling sand- bags in attempts to stop more farming tracts from be- ing flooded. But still the rain continued. February storms caused more than S4 million damage to state beaches and parks, and President Reagan de- clared San Joaquin County as well as 25 other counties, dis- asterareas. Floods, Wihds and high waves slashed the coast in lvlarch, causing S160 million worth of damage, and the forced evacuation of 10,000 residents.

SDIIIIDIIIUYE Class SIIDWS Iaell of paftitipafiell Low participation was prevalent in the class of '85 during their freshmen year. But through the help of President Art Shingler, the year ran smoothly. Shingler explained that there were few financial difficulties during the year. We were trying to focus on promoting class spirit rather than raising money. Perhaps funds earned at the Christmas Bazaar con- tributed to the financial balance. The class sold gingerbread cookies and hot chocolate and planned to have a candy sale late in the year. Class advisers were Rebecca Bolt and Susan Heber- le, home economics and science teachers, respec- tively. James Cerney served as vice president. The seatfof secretary treasurer stood vacant as no one was elected. Sophomore Officers 1.
