There was discussion on the possible effects that both measures would have on such state-funded programs as teh Homeowner Refund Program, which is designed to give tax rebates to the low-income elderly. “Unless there is an expressed legislative act to abolish them, all programs will remain the same,” stated Wolfer. Lindquist disagreed on this point. “All state programs will be reevaluated to meet with the new demands,” he said. In closing, Frank Harlow, college speech instructor and moderator for the discussion, said, “The reason our forefathers first came to America was to avoid con fusing tax systems.

The Placement Center can basically be divided into two parts: graduate positions and “survival” jobs; Graduate placement deals with finding a job that coincides with a specific major. Though most of these are for graduates, it is often possible to find an opening while still attending school. Even when there are nd openings anywhere, positions can be found through graduate placement. “Last year we developed 30 jobs that previously never existed”, Thornley said. “Most of these (graduate jobs) are in the Portland area.” This fall the center is focusing on “survival” jobs, usually temporary positions designed to make quick money for college expenses. These are both full-time and part-time jobs, not necessarily related to a specific major.
