Davis wonders where the line
is drawn if a non-student is
allowed to sit on the board and
give input. She believes the ad
ministration and faculty have a
powerful influence on the IFC
regardless of whether they vote
or not.
I think there is a real tenden
cy for the administration to
watch the students with an
eagle eye,” Davis says. *i think
they are unsure of the students’
ability to handle the budgeting
process. .. they haven’t given
the students the opportunity so
they don't know.”
The OSL was formed in 1975
due to a growing concern about
student issues. Student
presidents in the state higher
education system then formed
the board and elected its direc
tors. In addition, three staff
positions were created. This
year the staff is made up o£
Daut; Sherry Oeser, executive
assistant; and Mary Nass, ad
ministrative assistant.
OSL has been on shaky
ground in the past for various
reasons, including student
apathy, differing interests of the
participating colleges, and an
overall lack of time, says Cress.
Some of the larger schools, such
as the University and Portland
State University, have con
sidered dropping out of the pro
gram because the members felt
they should have more lobbying
time as they paid more into the
OSL. Under the current by
laws, each school pays an ap
portionate amount of money in
to the OSL according to number
of students in that school. But
so far, this hasn't been a pro
blem this year, he says.
This year the OSL is going
through a major overhaul to
strengthen its power. The board
will be increased to 14 members
to allow another delegate from
each school to participate.
Rebecca Roby has been chosen
by the ASUO as the University’s
second delegate. The organiza
tion’s focus will be to get more
students involved, and during
the voter registration drives this
fall OSL members will try to
organize lobbying parties.
Davis says that the revision of
the by-laws and revamping of
the board will “create a better
way for more students to get in
volved in OSL and hopefully
build a grassroots organization
on each one of the campuses.”
On the practical side, Davis
admits it is difficult for students

MATH, BUSINESS, SCIENCES AND
FOREIGN LANGUAGES.

undergraduates and $5.86/hr for graduates.
✓ Tutoring at the LR.C. contributes to your own
academic sucess as you review basic concepts
in your major, (e.g. tutoring chemistry, math, or
physics is an excellent way to prepare for the
MCAT.)

academically related reference.

to lobby.
“It's kind of intimidating,"
she says. “It’s great to come and
talk about it, but going up there
(Salem) and marching down the
halls and into someone’s office
is another thing."
Although lobbying takes
time, she says it is just as impor
tant and probably as effective to
write letters. It is also important
that if students do write or lob
by, the information must be
consistent and have a solid
base, she adds.
