A SOSC by any other name Bud nips ‘University’ of Southern Oregon in bud ASHLAND (AP) — Southern Oregon State College will be Southern Oregon State College a little longer. In a letter Thursday to Ashland-area legislators, college Pres. Natale Sicuro said he would drop a long-running campaign to change the school’s name to University of Southern Oregon. “It is critical that nothing distract atten tion from the necessity to obtain legislative support for adequate higher education funding and approval of the strategic plan during this (legislative) session," Sicuro said in his letter. “I believe it is in the best interest of all concern ed to withdraw our proposal from further consideration." The letter was written a week after Sicuro asked local lawmakers to introduce legislation this session to change the school’s name. Sicuro told the legislators Thursday that he regretted what he termed his "sharp yet friendly difference of opinion” with state higher education Chancellor Bud Davis over the proposal. But, he said, he believes that by raising the proposal, he has encouraged the state Board of Higher Education to clarify confusion about the process for changing a school name. Sicuro contends that the Legislature alone has the power to rename a state school, but members of the Board of Higher Education have said that body should consider any name change first. The proposal received widespread en dorsement in Jackson County from students, faculty members and various educational and civic organizations. Supporters said the name change would enhance the school's prestige. ‘Army of God’ pair convicted ALTON, III.
