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

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.
