LD 4349 ----~~ .A2'1 ·••111111• p68512 \S~\ " We met in college-both ofus the first • in our families to attend a university. Everything we've accomplished since can be traced to our opportunity to earn college degrees. We know through personal experience that education is synonymou with oppor­ tunity, and the quality of education determine the quality of life in our state. After graduation, career paths opened up to us. Marilyn worked for First Interstate Bank (now Wells Fargo) for 22 years. The bank encouraged continuing education and assisted her in earning a master' degree, which opened the doors to teaching part time at Portland Community College. Marilyn's experience speaks to the changing oppor­ tunities for women in education and business. She was the only woman in most of her business courses in the early '70s. Today, the gender ba lance in busi­ ne s courses at PSU is at lea t 50-50, and Portland tate students are increasingly diverse in other ways as well. A university degree opened the door to Ray' career a a CPA. An accounting professor at PSU for the past 20 years, he has also served as a consultant to the Auditing Standards Board and as pre ident of the Oregon ociety of CPAs. Ray is proud to be part of the nationally recognized • accounting program at PSU. "I've seen incred ible growth in the accounting profe ion change over the past 20 years. The number of CPAs in Oregon has doubled, and the quality of those CPAs is higher than ever. An accounting degree i an incredibly rich way to learn how organizations work, especially in a multi-disciplinary program like PSU's. It' truly a high­ way to a wide range of career opportunities." A university education offered us many opportunities that were not open to our parents. Many PSU students are first-generation, which re onates with us. Portland State students are extremely motivated-taking on a lot of challenges while working to build life-long learning habits. As we enter the knowledge economy, the opportunity for Oregonians to enjoy high-paying job and a high quality of life depend more than ever on the quality of higher education in Oregon. We want to hare our legacy of opportunity with others. Our giving, both now and through our estate plans, includes upport for accounting scholarships, the School of Business Administration, and other University-wide programs. To u , philanthropy isn't about money. It's about a better University, a better Oregon. That's why we give to and help P U's fund-raising efforts. We believe that because Portland State give tudent a crucial blend of liberal and professional education, it is the University of the future. 1\qy and cMarilyn Johnson • P 0 RTL AND ST ATE U N I V.E R SIT Y 0 ~FI CE 0 F DEVEL 0 PM ENT •!• 5 0 3 - 7 2 5 • 4 4 7 j ~ Co NT ENT s FEATURES Our Bodies, Our Cells? 8 EDITOR Faculty engage in the ethical debate surrounding genetic privacy.

    2of 2 Voters’ Pamphlet Candidates Oregon General Election November 4, 2008 Bill Bradbury Oregon Secretary of State This Voters’ Pamphlet is provided for assistance in casting your vote by mail ballot. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION BILL BRADBURY JOHN LINDBACK DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 JEAN STRAIGHT SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 My Fellow Oregonians: Once again, it’s time for Oregon voters to make good on the bargain we make for living in a free country. It’s time to vote. In these pages, you will see the candidates running for office this year. These are the words they’ve chosen to represent themselves to you. Read them carefully and evaluate what they have to say because the decisions made by our elected officials make a difference in our lives. Voting is only one of the duties we share in preserving our blessings of liberty. We serve on juries. We pay our taxes. We serve in the armed forces. We don’t litter. And we vote. Voting is no mere footnote to democracy. It’s what separates us from tyrants, a practice we’ve nurtured and encouraged for more than two centuries and preserve today as a bulwark in keeping our country safe and free. It’s already been an exciting year. In the spring, Oregon saw a huge surge in voter registration and we may well set new records in November for turnout. Registering, remember, is only half the process and doesn’t mean a lot unless you actually vote.
