Voters informed of sales tax effects
By Jult* Swenson
Ortgan CtoV lm**a
With 22 days to go before the
Ballot Measure 1 "sales tax for
schools" proposal is decided on,
the University sponsored a forum
Monday night to better inform
voters about what the measure's
effects would be on higher edu
cation in Oregon.
But if the turnout last night was
any indication, the voters likely
won't make an intelligent choice.
Fewer than 20 people showed up
to hear legislative and Universi
ty officials speak at Willamette
Hall in a forum addressing what
would happen if the sales tax is
defeated tor the ninth time
November 9.
If passed, the measure would
enact a five percent sales tax,
with proceeds supporting kinder
garten through 12th grade and
community colleges. At least half
of Oregon Lottery revenues
would be used for education.
In return, school property tax
es on owner-occupied homes
would be abolished, which are
currently $10 per $1,000 of a
property's value, according to the
legislative Revenue Office.
The sales tax would not apply
to services, and many goods
would be exempted. The tax
would be repealed in five years
unless voters clw;ida to reinstate
it in the 19HB general election
Although the measure doesn't
include support for fdur-veor col
leges and universities, thev
would indirectly be supported.
General Fund resources, now
needed for elementary and sec
ondary schools and community
colleges, would be shifted over
to higher education. Moseley
said.
The measure includes only
community colleges, and not
four-voar colleges and universi
ties. because that proposal was
most attractive to citizens who
were polled before the ballot title
was crafted, said |im Scherzinger.
director of the state Legislative
Revenue Office. Since propo
nents of the measure wanted it to
have the best chant* of passing,
a sales tax for four-year colleges
and universities was oxempted
from the measure, he said.
ASUO President Eric Bowen
said the effects of measure 5
should lead people to reexamine
what the purpose of the Univer
sity of Oregon is. The tuition
increases are substantially above
inflation, and what students or
their parents had projected to
pay.
Bowen said he once heard a
joke that the University should
be called ' The University ot Cal
ifornia at Oregon More than 50
percent of the University fresh
man class is from out of state.
"The U of O is no longer serv
ing Oregon," he said. “It needs to
keep its mission."
The University of Oregon has
lost S42.4 million in state Gen
eral Fund support since Measure
5 was implemented in 1991. If a
sales tax or another form of
repla<»ment revenue is not estab
lished. the state system of high
er education in 1995-97 will have
an estimated S100- $120 million
less than it has now. according to
a report from the University
Office of Communications and
Marketing.
"Without Measure 1. the leg
islature has no choice but to make
further cuts in education." Mose
ley said. "With no sales tax. and
if Measure 5 keeps progressing,
it would be a rather severe con
straint on what the University of
Oregon would be able to do."
Today is the last day to regis
ter to vote for or against the
measure in the Nov. 9 election.
Students can register in the
EMU Breezeway. at booths at
Prince Lucien Campbell Hall, at
Oregon Hall and at the ASUO
Executive office.
