flocking to

(AIM — Californians are finn
ing problems in their state col
lege system and boosting atten
dance at the University.
Lust week, about 300 people
toured the campus at a time
when guides say tours usually
number only about 15 to 20
people. Most of the group (ante
from California, said Jon Ll
lison, u student guide
"Wo bud to call other guides
in,' said Ellison, a senior from
Bellingham. Wash
Numbers from the Universi
ty's admissions office for 1002
suggest that Californians are ap
plying to Oregon in greater
numbers than ever before.
The 1.037 Californians who
applied for admission as fresh
men for the fail 1002 term,
which starts next month, repre
sent a 33-port ent increase over
the number of (Californians who
applied fist fall, admissions di
rot tor Jim But h said l.ast year,
four out of every 10 students
were from California
Buch said they keep turning,
despite tuition increases forced
by the Measure 5 property tax
limit approved bv Oregon vot
ers in 1000
"Californians know about
Ballot Measure 5. but they see
it as being their Proposition 13
They say. 'Yes. we did that sev
eral years ago.' " Buch said.
"But then they go on to talk
about the state's budget prob
lems: 'We're overrun with peo
ple - it's no longer happening
at a humane scale. It's no long
er u good environment to study
and live. There doesn't seem to
be any solution.'"
The Measure 5 tax limit
shifts much of the responsibili
ty for funding Oregon elemen
tary and secondary schools
from local property taxes to the
state. Without some new tax.
state government faces cuts of
up to Si billion in 1993-95 to
compensate, and much of that
would come from higher edu
cation.
The situation is w'orse in
California, said Steve Mac
Carthv, spokesman for the Cali
fornia State University system.
