Postal Hikes Bring Expenses By DAVE SECORD for the Emerald Oregon students and faculty, will, in the next two terms, pay to the U.S. Government for services rendered, an estimated $26,078 more than they normally would have if the United States Congress had not deemed it necessary to iacrease postage rates. Although $26,078 seems like a generous sum of money, when you split it (fairly or unfairly), or just average it among the 14,000 or so students and faculty who use the University, you will prob ably arrive at the earth-shaking sum of $1.86 per human unit. So while you might have to dry up to the tune of a six-pack plus two, I think I can safely conclude that the recent postage hike is not going to drive Bean complex into mass bankruptcy, or bring SDS out picketing. It seems though, that the scene in some of the departmental of fices is a bit different, especially in the ones with large mailing budgets, such as the Registrars Office, which has the task of mail ing out over 13.000 grade reports every term. Taking them as an example, for just one grade mailing, it is estimated that as a result of the postage hike, the cost to the de partment will increase about $120. According to Walter McLaughlin. Business Manager, there are no relief funds in sight and "the individual departments are just going to have to tighten up their belts (again) and absorb it.” This means that the University will have to sit tight (again) until Governor Thomas McCall activates the State Department of Finance to conduct a survey of all the state agencies and the effects of the postal hikes on them. The date of said survey has not been made known I was as sured though, by R.L. Collins, Director of the Budget for the Oregon State System of Higher Education, that "they arc aware of the increase and we have reason to believe that they are look ing into it.” Somewhere in this article 1 had planned to try and reverse my position if I could do it without feeling too much like a traitor to the cause. Maybe we’re not so bad off with our standard six-cent stamps, if we compare oursehes with some of our fellow coun tries around the world. We are told we have the highest standard of living in the world, so when countries like Saudi Arabia. Lebanon. Germany, and Can ada, charge (in American terms) sums like six, five, five, and seven cents respectively, we might conclude, taking into account their lower standards of living, that maybe we're not in such a bind after all. Committee Looks at Vietnam A student-1 acuity steering committee called “Three Days of Concern About Vietnam ’ has been formed to present a thorough examination of the Vietnam conflict. The organiza tion has planned a series of programs April 24-26. which will include a talk by Rear Adm. Arnold True. The three-day series of events will also include debates, work shops, plays, movies, and an Angry Arts Festival. These pro grams will not only examine the Vietnam war in a political and moral context, but will also look into the economics, psychology, sociology and business problems that are linked with the war. i ne purpose is 10 give me in dividual a chance to question the value and purpose of vari ous forms of dissent. First day tentatively features speeches by major political fig ures, possibly including Sena tor Eugene McCarthy. A “liberal dissent" workshop, an evening panel and the Arts Festival are also planned for that day. Second day will feature a teach-in on L'.S. involvement in counter-revolutionary wars, a political play and at least one social-political event. Third day will include Rear Adm. True’s speech, workshops on draft re sistance and another social - political event. ' Experience makes the difference... get it now! Come out on top because of your prac tical experience.
