SOSC eyes non-resident tuition cut By DAG MAR OBEREIGNER Of the Emerald With its enrollment down and its students being lured to California schools, Southern Oregon State College (SOSC) is considering lowering non-resident tuition for junior and senior students. Enrollment is down nearly 10 percent since 1975, and the school’s president, James Sours, is worried about a new California policy that could drain off even more students. “Our out-of-state enrollment has declined in the last few years Protesters— (Continued from Page 1A) hallway it became unclear whether the demonstrators were supposed to leave. He also said Roy Lieuallen, state chancellor of higher education, had told the Southern African Lib eration Support Committee (SALSC) last April that he didn’t care if they stayed in his office all night. Spickerman told the jury it would be unreasonable for any one to take the chancellor's re marks literally and the defense, by arguing such points, was grasp ing straws.” ‘This kind of testimony cheapens the political statement they were trying to make by being there," Spickerman said. Members of SALSC haven’t decided whether to appeal the de cision yet. but they have agreed to stay together whatever course they take. Goldstein said they have 30 days after sentencing to get a notice of appeal for a new trial in circuit court. Meanwhile, two demonstrators nave already forfeited bail of $55. They are Falamak Bardaei, of Springfield, and llene Louise Gus field. from 15 percent to just 7.8 per cent," Sours says. “Everytime non-resident tuition goes up, our enrollment goes down." The California policy, begun last fall, allows students to move anywhere within the state and qualify immediately for residency tuition at a community college. Several Northern California community colleges are in terested in transferring their stu dents to SOSC if non-resident rates are dropped, but Sours is hesitant to drop non-resident rates completely “If we drop rates, we'd nave to absorb that revenue loss by con siderably increasing our out-of state enrollment," he says. Present non-resident tuition rates cover 100 percent of a student's expenses while resident tuition pays for 26 percent of the total cost of an education at SOSC. Any request for reducing tuition would have to be taken to the State Board of Higher Education. Freeman Holmer, vice chancellor of higher education, says a lower non-resident tuition for SOSC is not planned for the 1978-79 year, but he says the board meets next month in Ash land and the subject could come up. Holmer says SOSC and the Oregon College of Education (OCE) in Monmouth, already have tuition breaks for non-resident students, at the rate of $113 per term, or a $339 per year reduction. “A lower rate would bring non residents to the institution,” he says, “but the other side of the coin is, it would have to be made up for by a general fund appropria tion and the taxpayers of Oregon.” ‘Clucks’ may replace ‘moos WASHINGTON (AP) — More poultry and less beef may soon show up in military mess halls and school cafeterias as part of Pres. Carter’s new anti-inflation pro gram, administration officials said Wednesday. Tom Joyce, a spokesperson for the Council on Wage and Price Stability and Lester Fettig, who is in charge of federal buying policy, said meat is a “hypothetical” ex ample of where the government might economize. The price of meat is expected to rise 10 per cent to 12 percent this year. The Pentagon buys large quan tities of beef for the military, and the Agriculture Department makes purchases for the school lunch program. “Maybe this is chicken month,” Fettig cracked. The government may also be buying cheaper copying machines or finding ways to buy plastic items to replace metal ones. But don't expect any of that to bring down your grocery bill. The president is ordering the federal government to shop for bargains as part of his announced policy of turning the federal gov ernment into a belt-tightening, thrifty example for the rest of the nation. But even the $50 billion the government spends each year for goods and commodity purchases doesn’t make a big dent in the nation's trillion-dollar economy. TDA plans third occupation The Trojan Decommissioning Alliance Wednesday announced plans to occupy the Trojan nuclear power plant Aug. 6 near Rainier for the third time. A Eugene TDA spokesman said the group will initiate a “series of non-violent direct actions" aimed at closing down the Trojan plant. August 6 marks the 33 anniver sary of the atomic bombing at Hiroshima. Dave Zupan, local TDA member, said the group will try a new occupation tactic — “continu ing occupation”—instead of the previous mass demonstrations and arrests. ‘ We ll use smaller groups, and occupy for a longer period of time,” Zupan said. When the Al liance blocked the Trojan gates last Nov. 25, 123 demonstrators were arrested for trespassing in little more than an hour. The group will also plan some form of peaceful demonstration at the Portland General Electric Co. in downtown Portland. Zupan said, “to emphasize that they are the plant’s owners' and responsi ble for the plant’s operation. ‘ During the past year, the anti nuclear movement in Oregon has expanded considerably...(but) if anything, our experience in the past year has confirmed our deci sion to choose civil disobedience as a tactic,” TDA said in a pre pared statement. Alliance members will also sup port locally a nationally organized demonstration at the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Facility in Col orado, scheduled for April 29. Eastern Oregon State College faced a similar problem, and did away with non-resident tuition two years ago, Holmer adds. Enroll ment there has been rising. Would such a move be feasible for the University? Ray Hawk, vice-president for Administration and Finance, doesn't see it in the near future. "We have more non-residents now than there ought to be,” he says. Out of 16,701 students during fall term 1977,3,981 or 24 percent were non-residents. The average over the past five years has been 29 percent non-residents. "Our school has an attraction for non-resident students,” Hawk says. /‘I’m sure we get a lot of stu dents that come here because we’re a good, research-oriented school in a nice setting,” he says. Hawk also commented that it is an attraction for people who may find California schools out of their reach. "California schools are hard to get into, qualitatively. We're not only dealing with costs, but ad mission standards which screen out many good students,” he says. Acting Registrar Wanda John son says projected fall 1978 freshman non-resident enrollment is stable. She says many of the resident freshmen students are going to Oregon State University (OSU). One of the reasons, according to Johnson, is OSU’s having “more marketable degrees.” She does, however, defend the value of a liberal arts degree, but says some things are going to have to change to keep up with contemporary life and education. She suggests that the Univer sity serve the community more, change course organization and structure more interdepartmental and general studies, focusing on the older students.
