ASUO sponsors phone bank today
By Chester Allen
f me? aid Reporter
Students opposing a proposed $4(K) increase in
nest year's tuition will have the chance to use a
free phone line today to lobby state legislators in
Salem.
The ASUO and the Student Senate are sponsor
ing the three-line phone bank, which will be locat
ed outside the ASUO offices in the EMU from 9:30
a m to .130 p m. today.
budget cuts mandated by 1990's Ballot Measure
S are Ion ing state legislators to consider cutting 20
percent from the University's 1993-95 budget,
causing the tuition increase, said Student Senate
President John Thomas.
Students will be provided with the name and
telephone number of their state legislator at the
phone txink, said Student Senator Matt Hasek
"We're looking at an increase in tuition from
$2,700 this year to $3,100 next year.” Hasek said
“We're encouraging students to make a free call
to contact their legislator and oppose this plan.”
Because University administrators plan to
reduce all programs equally instead of eliminating
programs, all students will pay more money for
fewer instructors teaching more crowded classes if
the budget cait passes the legislature. Thomas said
"We need to show the legislature that we're not
invisible,'' Thomas said. "We are the future of the
state, and our university is on the chopping
block."
If the tuition increase is passed, student enroll
ment at the University will decrease by about 500
students, said University Budget Director Trent
Spradling.
Calling and writing legislators is the most cffw
tive way to fight the" 20 percent budget cut,
Spradling said.
The ASUO is hoping between 75 and 100 stu
dents call their legislators today. Thomas said
Although many student callers won't personal
ly talk to their legislators, a stack of messages from
concerned students is a powerful message to am
politician. Thomas said.
In addition to the phone hank, ASUO is spon
soring a letter-writing campaign and a March 3 stu
dent lobby day in Salem, said ASUO President
Bobby Lee.
