Late last month, two state leg
islators offered a novel solution
to the University's budget prob
letns — make the I 'Diversity a
private school
Hut what Reps. Carolyn
Oakley, D-Albony. and |im
Whitty, D-Coos Bay. didn't
address in their letter to the
state Hoard of Higher Education
were the problems privatization
could raise.
First, there is the issue of
tuition Although privatization
is only a suggestion at this
point. Oakley said Friday that
University tuition should
remain comparable to private
schools in Oregon, such as

University education Peter
Swan. legal adviser to
University President Myles
Brand's office, said privatiza
tion would hast* to accommo
date residents used to paving
about S2.700 a year for a
University education
"No one wants to see the
University become an elitist
institution," he said.
Swan suggested the state
might buy a number of seats at
a privatized University, and
offer them to residents at a sub
sidized price; out-of-state stu
dents would pav full tuition
To what degree in state tuition
might lie subsidized. Swan said
he didn't know
If operationally and political
ly feasible. Swan viid ho would
npa t privatization within lwo
to six years
Also in question is how the
University ilscdf would t hange

associate vi< e chancellor for
administration, said University*
buildings represent a puhlii
investment of about St.n mil
lion dollars
Whether to sell the campus
outright, or lease certain build
ings out by year would be
decided by the Oregon
Legislature, f’ernsteiner said
At a special Oregon State
Hoard of Higher i'ducation
meeting Friday to discuss
future directions for higher
education. University President
Myles Brand said if the
University is privatized, it

the board.

would drive students away,
and the University would

would learn from other states
that have mode similar i hanges

transition smoother

Psychologist Kvans said students like Kirk have
the right idea when it comes to dealing with stress
"Get out of your head for a while." Kvans said
"Take a walk. Go swimming Go running Chances
are. when you come back, you’ll have more energy
or mental capacity.”
Study breaks don't have to involve heavy exer
cise, either
Freshman Rob Froom said he plays guitar or video
games to gel his mind off of his studies
The key, Brau said, is to give the brain time to
process and consolidate new information hv taking
frequent study breaks (about to minutes every
hour).
“The principle of memory that operates when you
are taking breaks, is the principle of avoiding inter
ference," she said. "Interference can be anything
from thinking about another problem to thinking
about something you just learned "
Finally, after all of the studying is over and it’s
time to take the exurn, Brau said students should
pay attention to their breathing.
"People tend not to breathe as deeply (when they
are stressed)," she said. "So just sitting tali am) tak
ing three deep breathes will very often counteract
some of the most alarming effinis of adrenalin."
