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.

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).

“ Well. we’ re probably going to gel
»"«<> * ' rls ' o f,b a l>
>car and
depending on how many teams are
in the playoffs I expect we'll be in the
red for two or maybe three years,”
Hilsenteger said. “ We still pay par
tial expenses o f every athlete in every
state tournament so the more ac
tivities arc added the more expenses
arc going to go up. 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."
