It is at this level where students cap affect changes in the final version adopted by Congress. ; ■ "Congress isn't happy with Reagans proposed budget hither, " she added. . The ASUO will stress three points that other Oregon schools also will stress in their letter-writing campaign. Kester said. First, because education spending did not cause the deficit, students shouldn't have to bear the weight of the cuts, she said. .Second, education is an in vestment in the future and society as a whole, and cuts will affect everyone. Finally. Kester noted that proposed program reductions and changes in financial aid will hamper access to higher education for some students. “If the proposed cuts go through, they will hurt women and minorities more because they are poor," Kester said. Kester expects thousands of Oregon students to sent! letters to representatives in Washington. DC. She hopes that a large number of letters will carry some weight for the ASUO delegation when it at tends a Spring lobbying Con ference in the nation's capital from March 14-18. Along with workshops, the ASUO twill lobby the Oregon representatives concerning pro posed financial aid cuts. A II ■!
