Hendriksen mourns higher ed cuts
By GABRIEL BOEHMER
Of the Emerald
The condition of higher
education funding "can only be
described as horrendous," Rep.
Margie Hendriksen, D-Eugene,
told an EMU audience on Sat
urday.
Hendriksen held a no-host
brunch at the University to voice
her opinions on education
■ funding issues at the Legisla
ture and answer consituents’
* questions.
Gov. Vic Atiyeh’s proposed
$480.9 million budget for higher
education would exclude capi
tal construction funds and limit
faculty-salary equity increases,
Hendriksen said. This projec
tion is based on a 15-percent
tuition increase.
"We’re excluding people who
have intellectual ability but no
means to pay for education,”
Hendriksen said. “This is ser
ious in light of federal aid cut
backs.”
And inadequate equity in
creases in faculty salaries could
force University professors out
of the state system, she said.
“I think our faculty has other
places to go.”
University faculty members
requested a 13-percent equity
salary increase in the 1981-82
bienium, but Atiyeh’s budget
would give them only a
6-percent increase.
Atiyeh’s proposal is ‘‘death
by inches," Hendriksen said.
Instead of bleeding higher
education across the board, the
state should maintain quality
programs and eliminate others,
she said.
And Hendriksen called for the
consolidation of duplicate
educational programs. For ex
ample, teacher education train
ing is offered at seven different
colleges and universities in
Oregon, she said.
But eliminating state
educational programs and insti

tutions is difficult, Hendriksen
said.
Hendriksen is sponsoring or
co-sponsoring several bills
related to higher education.
One of the bills, HB 2965, would
require any higher education
program to submit an affirma
tive action plan with its budget
request.
“All statistics from student
organizations are very dismal.
The majority of women and
minorities are in fixed-appoint
ment and non-tenure tract
jobs," she said.
Hendriksen voiced strong op
position to the bill that would
designate campus security of
ficers as peace officers. Cam
pus security personnel would
be able to carry guns and make
arrests if the bill passes, she
said.
Feminists hold
annual meeting
this Saturday
“Women’s rights are under
enemy fire," and the Oregon
chapter of the National Organ
ization for Women will be cir
cling the wagons at the Univer
sity during its third annual con
ference this weekend.
Oregon NOW treasurer
JoAnn Een says the Republican
Party has “gone back to its very
old conservative line, and it’s
forced many of us to say, ‘Here
we are and we have to do
something about it together.’ ’’
The conference will empha
size feminism as a non-partisan,
cultural movement rather than a
political movement, says Een,
who is also conference coor
dinator.
The conference will begin
Saturday at 8 a m. and conclude
at 1 p.m. All conference events
will be held in Carson Hall.
Keynote speaker will be U.S.
District Court Judge Helen Frye.
Frye will speak on the Equal
Rights Amendment and the
Human Life Amendment, which
would constitutionally prohibit
most abortions.
The conference will include
workshops on violence and
women, women’s issues and the
New Right, self-defense, the
Equal Rights Amendment and
the “Mormon conspiracy,” and
the Human Life Amendment.
The fee for the conference is
$15.
