over Measure 5

The passage t)f Measure > has dumped a heav> load

schools afloat
Measure '> requires that property taxes he lowered to

change will prodtu e a StiOO million gap for the

Although the la-gislalure does not i onvene until Jon
nary, the (piestion of how to fill this gap and replace
the lost money is now on the minds of legislators and
must later be addressed by the governor anti voters
The two most probable alternatives are to trim the
budget by cutting programs or to implement a sales
tax Raising income taxes is also .1 possible solution
"Some have said the new governor is Measure !»."
said Peter Toll, executive director of the state Senate
majority caucus, adding that Measure '1 will lie the
yardstick tolling people yvh.it they can or cannot do
with their money.
Complicating matters is the tact that Democratic
Governor-elect Harlmra Roberts has said she will pro
pose a 5 percent sales tax. Hot she will first have to
contend with the state House Republican majority
who, some legislators fear, will favor cutting human
service programs rather than try to raise new money
via a sales tax
"The Republicans really have a stranglehold on (In

<IIA representatives are returning to the
University Tuesday and Wednesday to in
terview students for employment, amid
planned protests by students who are op
posed to the government organization and
its presence on campus
When the CIA recruited on campus last
year, several students charged the organiza
tion with discrimination against gays and
lesbians Brian Hoop. ASUO University el
fairs coordinator, and other students have
planned a rally in the EMU Courtyard Tues
day at 12:30 p in. to address the alleged dis
crimination and other issues.
Hoop said the students' objectives in
clude petitioning the Student Senate and
the University Senate to prohibit the CIA
from recruiting until and unless there is
proof that such discrimination no longer oc
curs.
The students also plan to include a reso
lution that no recruiting can take place by
any employer involved in illegal a< livities
If such a resolution were passed by the stu
dents. it would still lie subject to University
approval.
In response to the discrimination ( barges,
the University Senate passed a resolution
last spring amending the Affirmative At lion

Those who proposed the resolution did so
specifically with the CIA in mind, in the
hope tli.it it would prevent the organization
from returning this year In the past, the
CIA has refused to sign sin h non-disr rimi
nation statements at other universities
However. CIA representative Tom Cul
liane signed the statement and addressed
Smith's request for information as to how
the CIA evaluates potential employees
Smith received a memo from the CIA re
garding its hiring policies The memo stales
