President Reagan's proposed
budget would slush federal stu
dent aid by about $2 billion
below the current uppropria

an OSL newsletter. Nationally, •"
more than 1.3 million students

wore in school.
All of these proposals must
first lx» approved by Congress
before going into effect. Kester
said. 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.
