PATON JEWELERS Finances unsure High school athletics show svccessful season by B ill Schaefer Expressing an air of cautious op timism for high school sports during the 1978-79 season, the Oregon School Activities Association never theless is keeping its fingers crossed about two potential problem areas. One is financial — an on-going problem — but the other is more un predictable. That would be the effect on high school sports o f a 116 per cent property tax lim ita tio n initiative. The proposal is almost cer tain to appear on the November ballot and few knowledgeable ob- servers o f the scholastic sports scene expect the measure to be rejected. Right now, says John Hilsenteger, assistant executive secretary o f the OSAA. the organization’ s financial structure is sound. “ That was probably our biggest achievement last year — being able to finish in good shape financially,” Hilsenteger said. ’ ’ That was due mainly to the fact that we expanded our Class A A A football playoffs from eight to sixteen teams That helped carry the non-revenue type activities.” But whether the OSAA can sustain its financial stability is uncertain. Legal info available Want to know how financial sup p o rt fo r a child or spouse is established in a m arriage dissolution? How to change your name? What taxes have to be paid if someone dies? Or your rights if you are arrested? These are just some o f the topics addressed in a program called Tel- Law, sponsored by the Oregon State Bar with generous financial assis tance fro m the M u ltn o m a h , Washington and Clackamas County Bar Associations. How does Tel-Law work? Call 248-0705 and ask the T el-Law operator for any one of 33 different tapes. Designed for residents o f the T ri- County area, Tel-Law is a free public service, started on July 17th, providing a library of general legal information as close and as private as an in d iv id u a l's own home telephone. The program ’ s hours are from 10:00 a.m. - 8:30 p.m ., Monday through Friday, and from noon to 6:00 p.m . weekends. Tel-Law is closed on holidays. Tel-Law equip- ment, including an automated tape deck capable o f playing five tapes simultaneously, is located in, and staffed by, operators o f the popular Tel-Med program at the Doctor’ s O fficial Telephone Exchange in the basement o f the Multnomah County M edical Society headquarters in southwest Portland. A Tel-Law brochure, listing all the subjects currently on tape (more w ill be added bim onthly), is available through the Oregon State Bar, at libraries, social service agencies, and at the various county courthouses. Tel-Law is designed as a “ preven tative” law program. Like preven tative health, preventative law is aimed at helping people recognize early signs o f trouble, or if a problem is already serious, effective methods o f dealing with it. Tel-Law is not to be used to replace an attorney. The tapes discuss in lay language topics ranging from marriage in Oregon to the rights and duties o f tenants and landlords. Three tapes have been translated to Spanish. They are: Your rights if you are arrested, Part I (tape #25), Your rights i f you are arrested, Part II (tape #26) and Small claims court (tape #27).

So we're looking at a deficit in softball for at least a couple o f years." Only four high school sports make money or arc at the break-even point, Hilsenteger said. The Class A A A boys basketball tournament is the big money earner with football second. Baseball revenue is somewhat above the break-even point and income from wrestling “ is barely holding its ow n." Track and field accounts for the largest deficit in the OSAA's budget "o n ly because o f the sheer number of athletes involved,” Hilsenteger said. Although the OSAA has not as yet examined all the ram ifications of what the tax lim ita tio n in itia tive might do to high school athletics in the state, Hilsenteger said some programs w ould inevitably be in jeopardy if the measure is approved by voters. ’ •.Alter all. the OSAA is an exten sion of the high schools in Oregon." he said. "Y o u begin at the local level financing your own program and if the schools are forced to drop a program because of a lack o f financ ing there is no reason to have a state championship in that program I he only way you can have state cham pionships is if the schools want them We don't just sit around and say. ‘ We're going to have a state cham pionship.’ It must come from the schools." Another subject that is causing some consternation w ith in the O SAA is the m atter o f product liability. It was a major issue at last week's National Federation conven tion. "W e don't think the manufac turers o f sports equipm ent are blowing smoke about th is," Hilsen teger said "T h e y (the m anufac turers) are getting sued and the courts have been saying that an injured person doesn’ t have to prove that the merchandise was defective. If the trend continues, the manufacturers may not manufacture the merchan dise and we're talking now mostly about fo o tb a ll helmets. And if helmets are not manufactured, the kids aren't going to play fo o tb a ll." Intereeted in current books about African Liberation? Visit. N.
