ODE Board meeting
attracts many critics
Members of the Oregon Daily Emerald Boara of
Directors brought notices of motions Tuesday
that could add two students to its membership.
The board decided last Friday to create a five
student, five non-student board That decision
and the subsequent action drew criticism from
student government officials and Emerald staff
members.
The board, meeting to discuss its 1982-83
budget, heard three letters indicating that last
Friday's action is contrary to the purposes and
history of the Emerald and that the board risked
IFC funding with its action
The board, previously consisting of two faculty
members, two ASUO representatives, three
Emerald department representatives, one com
munity member, and Emerald editor Sally Hodg
kinson, voted 4-3 Friday to include a second
community member, Jim Duger
Duger, at the end of Tuesday s meeting, gave
notice for consideration of adding a student-at
large position to the Board A motion to make it
mandatory that the representative from the
production department be a student was made by
another board member
The three letters outlined displeasure with the
addition of another non-student position
“Such an action would have grave con
sequences for the Emerald's continuing eligibility
for a student subscription through incidental fee
support It is essential students have a majority
and imperative that there is student control of the
newspaper,” read, in part, a letter from Rich
Wilkins, ASUO president, and Karsten Rasmus
sen, IFC chair.
Work-study positions should not be eliminated,
as the Emerald has done, in favor of non-student
employees, Wilkins said after the meeting "I'm
not saying it would be a better newspaper, but it
would be a student newspaper,” he said, when
questioned about eliminating non-student staff
members
‘ But when the underlying structure (of the
Emerald corporation) shifts away from a student
controlled and operated newspaper to one in
which students are hired as cheap labor to fill
holes around advertisements, we feel our real
purpose has been lost," reads a letter written by
Harry Esteve, news editor. The letter, read and
signed by Esteve, was presented to the Board
with nine other news-editorial staff signatures.
The Board will meet again Feb. 2 An ASUO
sponsored hearing on student control of the
Emerald will be held Jan 28 in the EMU.

“I think we’ve cut human

Update No. 2
To provide members of the Univer
sity community with official infor
mation from the administration, the
Office of Public Services will publish
in this format statements, answers to
current questions, responses to
rumors, and facts about the budget
crisis as details become available.
Students, faculty and staff mas ad
dress questions to “University Up
date, ” c/o Office of Public Services,
111 Susan Campbell Hall.
Students Ask
Q: Why did I have to pay a S49
surcharge?I am an Oregon
resident—an in-state student!
A: The State Board of Higher
Education authorized the sur
charge winter and spring
terms. It consists of S37 ear
marked to cover the shortfall
in tuition (fewer students en
rolled fall term than projected)
and S12 identified to meet
budget reductions required by
the State Legislature.
Q: Why aren’t out-of-state
students paying that new 149
surcharge?
A: Out-of-state students already
pay 105 percent of the cost of
their education. The State
Board determined that the 149
surcharge would be unfair to
these students. Out-of-state
undergraduates pay S3,768
per year in tuition and fees
while in-state students now pay
SI,239.
Q: Is there anything I can do
about this S49 surcharge? I
think it is terrible.
A: You, your family and friends
should let your hometown
legislator know what you think
about the surcharge. The
Legislature is meeting in
special session this month.
Public comment on the sur
charge, or on the financing of
higher education, will help
legislators establish funding
priorities. (Call the Office of
Public Services, ext. 5555, for
the address of your local legis
lator.)
Q: Will the surcharge for in-state
students this spring still be $49
or will it be more? I heard it
would be $98.
A: At its December meeting the
State Board authorized a $49
surcharge for spring term.
However, this could be
changed by the Legislature.
Q: It is true that there were sub
stantially fewer GTF appoint
ments for 1981-82 than there
were for 1980-81?
A: University Budget Office
figures as of Janaury 6 show a
decline of 41 GTFs (4%) from
those recorded a year ago.
Classified Staff Ask
Q: Is it true classified staff will
have to take time off without
pay this year?
A: It is too soon to know. Until the
Legislature acts on the Gover
nor’s proposed budget and the
Executive Department com
pletes discussions with the un
ion after the Legislature acts,
no one can give a definite
answer.
Q: What will happen to the clas
sified pay increases for the rest
of this year? Will they be
stopped?
A: Any change in the schedule
classified staff pay schedule
would first require reopening
collective bargaining
negotiations with the union.
Faculty Ask
Q: Are President Olum’s illustra
tive examples of closing the
School of Law, School of Ar
chitecture and Allied Arts,
College of Education, and
School of Music more than
that? Are they intended to
identify the programs and
schools that are on the “Hit
List?”
A: The example of school closures
was just that—a hypothetical
illustration to show possible
consequences of the second
five percent cut proposed by
the Governor.
Q: How firm is that spring “fur
lough” idea?
A: The furlough (leave without
pay) was part of the Gover
nor’s proposal which is under
consideration at the special
session of the Legislature.
