Kaiser Permanente's Alcohol and Drug Recovery Service is committed to efforts to reduce substance abuse in this community. The attendant problems, such as increased crime, gang activities, health consequences and social problems threaten the livability and economic vitality of the area targeted by the Fighting Back proposal. Reducing the demand for drugs and well as the availability is critical in the effort to reclaim our community. I have reviewed the grant application and believe it outlines a reasonable approach to these problems. My department is willing to assist in the development of an implementation workplan. If the application is successful, I will name a representative who is knowledgeable in this area to participate in the planning process. Yours truly, R~--eX ~7%A3-: Robert L.

Twenty-four years old, the mother of two small daughters, and in the process of getting a divorce. Not surprisingly, she was broke. "I had always wanted to go to college," Robin remembers. "I thought it was unlikely I could ever go - I had no resources available to me. But I happened to have a good friend who kept telling me to go into the financial aid office and see what they could do." Reluctant at first, Robin finally visited the office in 1980 and , to her pleasant surprise, found that through a combination of assistance programs - grants, loans and work study - she would be able to enroll at Portland State as an undergraduate.

Stowell Bud Clark, Portland's spirited mayor-elect, keeps coming back to Portland State. Whether it's to take a class, find talent, or drop off a bag of money, the former Vanporter has been a frequent visitor to campus. And the school - as extension center,. college and university - has been an undeniable part of the urban landscape that has shaped the new mayor. Clark enrolled at Vanport as an "idealistic" youth just out of lincoln High School, and spent a year studying business technology and playing a lot of pinochle. In the next decade, after his first wife died in a traffic accident, he sought intellectual solace in anthropology and geology classes at Portland State College ("they were still playing pinochle").

STATE OF OREGON PRIMARY ELECTION MAY 20. 1986 Compiled and Distributed by £3.k., ~ Secretary of State This Voter's Pamphlet is the personal property of the recipient elector for assistance at the Polls. Dear Voter: On May 20th, Oregonians will participate in our Primary Election as they have done for decades, , Oregon has been a leader in the nation with laws to encourage voter participation and to pro- tect the integrity of our election system. First came the establishment of our voter registration system in 1899. Then, the first voter's pamphlet, in 1904, to help Oregonians understand when voting no meant no and when voting no meant yes! The initiative petition, that we now take for granted, was considered progressive in 1902. In fact, Oregon was the first state in the nation to use the initiative petition. We were the first state to allow for the direct election of our U.S. Senators by the people, in 1906, rather than the Legislative Assembly. The "Oregon System", a controversial law adopted by the legislature , in 1908, allowed for the recall of publicly elected officials. The newly created law was put into action in 1909 with the recall of the mayor of Junction City. In 1910, we became the first state to have a presidential preference Primary Election. The theme of this year's voter's pamphlet highlights some of these and other Oregon Firsts.

Ideally, civic education must include an attachment to justice, a willingness to serve the community beyond self interest, and an openness to all those who share the rank of citizen. The committee's definition of civic education has two parts. The first is governance, that is, the knowledge of how local, state and federal government functions. This knowledge is essential to provide young people with the skills necessary to participate in a democracy. The second part of civic education involves community values. Values such as justice and community service are fundamental to the future health of the community as a whole. The committee's focus is upon education through the public and private school systems. The committee also considered the participation of business and volunteer community organizations with the schools. The committee's task is to evaluate the state of civic education, to describe a vision for the future of civic education, and to recommend the means of accomplishing that vision.
