Committee holding session
to decide fee bill’s fate
The House Education Committee will hold a work ses
sion to decide the fate of a bill dealing with incidental fees
on today at 8 a.m. in Hearing Room D at the State Capitol.
The original bill, sponsored by Rep. Dick Springer,
established voluntary fees.
If the amendments are adopted, the bill sets up a
statewide system similar to the fees process at the Univer
sity, says David Gomberg, committee administrator.
Under the new amendments, the State Board of
Higher Education would establish incidental fees, and the
institutions' student governments and University
presidents would administer them.
If the president and the student government disagree
and cannot resolve their differences by June 30 of any
given year, then the previous year’s budget will be
adopted.
Gomberg says the major difference for the University
will be that the Incidental Fee Committee and the Universi
ty president would have to agree on the fees. Currently, the
IFC recommends the fees to the president, and the presi
dent sends recommendations from the board.
“The key is that it is different at every University,”
says Gomberg. The bill would set up a statewide policy, he
says.
The Oregon Student Lobby supports the proposed
amendments. A OSL-sponsored bill was tabled at a com
mittee work session last week, but OSL Director Bob
Watrus expressed support for the amendments.
Speaker raps media on nukes
By Michele Matassa
01 th* Emerald
The American press is too
light-handed when it comes to
covering nuclear weapons
issues, said Norman Solomon,
a freelance investigative
reporter specializing in
nuclear issues.
“U.S. news media have been
very soft on the nuclear
weapons establishment,
especially in ecological con
cerns,” Solomon said in an in
terview Wednesday.
He accused ‘‘most mass
media” of acting as friends of
the Pentagon, “white
washing” the nuclear news.
Solomon, who also discuss
ed “Catching Up with the
Arms Race” Wednesday night
as part of Earth Week, said a
possible reason for the media
soft touch is “vested financial
on interests in nuclear indus
tries.
Solomon co-authored the
book "Killing Our Own: The
Disaster of America’s Ex
perience with Atomic
Radiation.”
The book, published last
year, reflects six years of
research by Solomon and co
author Harvey Wasserman —
years spent talking with
government officials, “atomic
veterans” and widows of
victims.
Solomon learned while deal
ing with the government that
“they’re gregarious but not
forthright, verbose but not
honest.”
But he admits “they’re just
doing their job.”
Solomon visited atomic test
sites in Utah and Nevada,
where he ‘‘found a very
militarized facility mas
querading as a very benign ac
tivity for protecting the
peace.”
“The Nevada test site con
ducts dry runs for global
holocaust,” Solomon said.
He also conducted late
night radio shows that allowed
listeners to call in looking for
an escape from the dangers of
nuclear attack and radiation.
But "there aren’t a lot of
places to run,” Solomon said,
pointing to a map with sym
bols representing nuclear
sites.
The map was more black
than white.
"Every region is targeted
with nuclear warheads by
some country,” Solomon said.
In 1978, he met Ron Quigley,
a Marine who helped clean up
Nagasaki after the atomic ex
plosion there. Meeting
Quigley, who later died of
bone cancer, sparked the jour
nalist's interest.
How does Solomon deal
with all that he has learned
since that day in 1978?
“It was in the long run both
depressing and inspiring.
Depressing to realize that our
own government is willing to
exterminate citizens in the ser
vice of the nuclear arms race.
