The possibility of the tax
break proposed in Measure 6
not being passed on to renters
was also discussed.
According to Wolfer, lan
dlords would have needed in
centive to pass their benefits on
to renters, wtihout a written
renter relief program.
“Many landlords are terrified]
of the possibility of rent controls
being imposed on them,”
Wolfer said.
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. It seems
ironic that we have run a full
circle, and are now back in the
middle.

head of staff.
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.
