Student lobby wants tax reform
By Tammy Batey
Emerald Associate Editor
The Oregon Student Lobby
has distributed 1,000 copies of a
"Fighting Five, Getting Tax
Reform" organizing manual to
Oregon colleges to help stu
dents understand the effects of
1900's Ballot Measure 5 and the
need for tax reform
ASUO Vice President Kartnen
Fore said OSl, sent the ASUO
about 300 copies of the manual.
The ASUO will give student
groups a copy, and students can
pick up copies in EMU Suite 4
Fore said the manual will
help University students pre
pare for the ASUO Lobby Day
on March 3 in Salem Students
will be bussed to the state capi
tal for a rally and a day of talk
ing with legislators.
"The manual helps student
leaders sit down and organize
their campus campaigns." Fore
said. "It's hard for student lead
ers to know whore to go. This
manual helps student leaders
focua."
In December, the OSL Hoard
decided lo create the 42-page
informational manual Robert
Nosse. OSL executive director,
aaid college students used to
complain that the student-lob
bying organization's message
wasn 't reaching college campus
es.
"The purpose is to put every
one on the same page, with
everyone using the same infor
mation and the same language.”
Nosse Mid.
OSt. sent the manual to stu
dent government leaders at the
seven colleges it represents:
Eastern Oregon State College.
Oregon Institute of Technology.
Oregon State University, Port
land State University. Southern
Oregon State College. Western
Oregon State College and the
University.
OSL also sent the manual to
six or seven legislators who OSL
considers allies such as state
Rep. Cynthia Wooten. These
legislators have said they
believe tnx reform is needed to
help ease the blows Measure 5
dealt higher education, Nosse
said.

simulation of the real thing. The program challenges students
to build a human circulatory system almost from scratch
And though a real circulatory system doesn't have two or
three hearts, Hoefeldt said the program gives a valuable
demonstration of how the body works.
"You're learning about body systems." said Hoefaldt, who is
studying for a career in medicine. "It's stuff you can use,
instead of minutiae like in core biology."
On the computer screen. Hoefeldt joins arteries, hearts and
lungs like so much plumbing. A valve keeps blood from flow
ing backward, and a heart ensures muscle tissue gets enough
oxygen. At the top of the screen, a graph measures the flow
and pressure of blood.
Hoefeldt seems to be enjoying himself.
"This is a good class for non-biology majors, people who
aren't used to doing un-fun things all the time," he said.
Sam Donovan, who manages the biology computer laborato
ry, said computers offer students two advantages over the tra
ditional wet lab.
First, computers save students time by collecting data and
making calculations. Second, students can perform experi
ments that are biologically impossible.
“It would be difficult or impossible to add extra hearts to
an organism." Donovan said. "In these labs, students are
building cardiovascular systems to understand the underly
ing principles."
"You can write many labs around these programs, such as
diet analysis." Donovan said. "Another big use is in their sim
ulation of genetics. The computer can crunch through lots of
information quickly."
But Donovan said that computers alone are no substitute
for the study of real organisms.
"You need both — some work on computers, some on ani
mals. On animals, there’s more gray areas. The animal some
times dies, or the drug doesn't work." he said.
The purpose is to
put everyone on

The first 20 pages of the man
ual explain Measure 5, the Ore
gon budget and the Oregon State
Board otHigher Education bud

the manual offers tips on form
ing a steering committee, work
ing with the media and
coordinating letter-writing dri

Nosse said the manual
includes the names and phone
numbers of members of the Sen
ate. House of Representatives
and the media.

be held responsible."
Carson said the accusations
were a case of finding him
guilty by association because
none of the examples from the
journal used against him were
written by him. He also pointed
to articles he has written
against the OCA and his mem
bership in Republicans No On
9 to refute trie homophobia
charge.
In the letter. Masat, who is
the IFC chairman. Pargot and
Rodgers, also expressed con
cern that it would be inappro
priate for Carson to decade the
budget fates of groups that had
been subjects of Commentator
editorials.
“I question whether student
groups would feel comfortable
with Mr. Carson's addition to
the committee.” Masat. Pargot
and Rodgers said in the letter,
Other concerns raised by stu
dents included the fact that
A SIX) President Bobby Lee had
not followed affirmative action
guidelines when appointing
('.arson.
Senator Brian Hoop said he
was concerned the 1PC opening
had not been advertised before
the nomination was made.
"The (ASUO) constitution
says it doesn't need to be," he
said, "but that would have
opened it up to a lot more stu
dents."
Pargot also questioned why
affirmative action procedures,
such as advertising the posi
tion, had not been followed.
“Ed is not the point," Pargot
said. “The issue is that no one
else was given a chance. That
should’ve been done."
After the meeting. Masat de
clined to comment, but Pargot
said despite her opposition to
Carson, she believed she would
be able top work with him as
"equals."
Carson said he believed he
would be able to work with IFC
members.
"It's not whether I’ll be able
to work with them." he said,
"but whether they’ll be able to
work with me."
