President’s wife new Deputy Secretary of State
Marilynne Keyser finds job challenging
, by Heleen Veenstra

“The most exciting part is
working with Barbara Roberts.
She is a passionate, dedicated
public servant. It is a real
pleasure to work with a person
like her,” expressed Marilynne
Keyser, new Deputy Secretary
of State, and wife of President
John Keyser.
Keyser started her new job as
Deputy Secretary of State for

‘Great! I
would like to talk to you
about a possibility in

Barbara Roberts, Secretary of
State, after having worked at
Arthur Andersen Accountant
Company for nine years. How
did Keyser get the job?
“I’ve known her (Roberts)
for ten years.” Roberts was on
the Board of Education at Mt.
Hood Commuility College
when John Keyser was dean of
students relations and research
at Mt. Hood. KeySer met
Roberts and after that “saw her
of and on through some
Democratic party activities.
“I’ve also arranged her as
speaker in several functions I’ve
been involved in.” Keyser said
she and her husband were very
supportive of Roberts’ ’84 elec­
tion campaign.
Keyser said that past summer
she asked Roberts and her hus­
band State Senator Frank
Roberts for dinner. Roberts
returned the call the day Keyser
resigned from Arthur Andersen
Accountant Company.
“She said ‘great! I would like
to talk to you about a possibility
in State Government.’” Felicia
Trader, former Deputy
Secretary of State resigned to
become the Director of
Transportation for the city of
Portland. “I thought about it
for a week and said ‘yes.’”
Being the Deputy Secretary of
State is a big job. It takes up a
Jot of time since the Secretary
and Deputy Secretary of State
are responsible for five divisions
and two state boards.
The divisions are the Archives
Division, Audits Division, Elec­
tions Division, Public Records
Division, and the Cooperation
Division. The two state boards
are the State Board of Accoun-
Public Office in the future, but State Board of Accountancy and

Keyser commented on managing
time with her family when she
and her husband have such a
busy schedule. “It’s a positive
change in time with my family."
Keyser has not always been
really interested in state issues. “1

“I think this is an ab-

more interested in state issues
when she was in the business
community and Governor Neil
Goldschmidt had an “exciting
campaign.” About Goldschmidt,
Keyser said, “We have met
before and he knows that I’m the
Deputy Secretary of State.”
“This job provides more of an
opportunity to me and John to
share experiences,- his experiences
are very helpful to me. I really
admire his management abilities,
He is really in the public arena.”
“It feels like I’ve been here

“The directors of divisions and

The theme of “Primitive

tawdry past life, his stable cur­

her job. “It’s exciting to be in the

is in the older wing and the fur­

property.”

Marilynne Keyser, the college president’s first lady, was recently
promoted to the ”perfect job” as deputy secretary of state.
What will Keyser do if Roberts
is not reelected in 1988? “It is
highly unlikely that she (Roberts)
won’t be reelected.I consider this
as a five year commitment.” She

Cool” is about a child asking
his “daddy” what life was like
for the father in the 50’s, “Was
it all black and white? Did you
play jazz all night?,” and the
60’s, “Did you fight in the war?
Did you break all the laws that
were ready to crumble?” A
jazz/blues feeling and an odd
variety of instrumentation make
the song complete. “War
Baby” is a man versus himself

questioning war and knowing
it’s “crazy” and another part of
him accepting war and it’s in­
evitability by answering the
shout “to arms.”
