lured the essence of a prohlem. that rising tuition costs
adversely affect students trying to attain a higher degree."
Upham said.
Upharn said ho is against the bill because it bypasses the col
lective bargaining process, which ho believes the graduate stu
dent* should use to make the change in tuition policy.
Willioms disagreed. "My personal inclination is to think that
because we re talking about a time when CTFs are not
employed, it falls outside the scope of Iwrgaining," he said
Upham also said he was "afraid the bill would create an
incentive for students to give up GTF positions "
Kerens said the Oregon State System of Higher Education is
considering a policy change, rather than waiting for the l.egis
Inture to puss the hill.
“We don't have a prohlem with the state system addressing
this through policy."' Williams said, "but because the state sys
tem changed residency requirements by legislative order wo
felt we had to go back to the l-egislature to mandate this."
luirry l-nrge, vice-chancellor for public affairs with the
OSSHE. said he had spoken with Karans and would meet with
him again to discuss how to Im*si address his concerns, whether
by a policy change or by legislature
Melinda Grier, dins tor of legal services for the chancellor's
office, said the state System of Higher Education would rather
make n policy change than wait for the hill to pass
"Setting fees and suiting residency policy are things that are
generally handled by the state board," Crier said "Changes are
easier to make through the board than through the Legislature,
ami it's a twitter way to have a more • (insistent approai h "
Another concern mentioned by Crier and Largo is the pos
sible cost of the lull.
"We haven't any idea what the price is. and that's a con
cern.” l-arge said.
Of 1.128 graduate teaching fellows employed spring term at
the University. 695 are considered to lie non-residents
The difference between resident and non-resident tuition for
a full-time graduate student is Si.005. If half the non resident
students were to take one term off during one year, the lost
tuition money would amount to alnnit $350,(KM)
Crier said it was hard to predict what the cost of the bill
might bo, but that one estimate went as high as $5<H).()O0 each
year.
Upham said he Ixilieves only a small percentage of the GTE
population would take advantage of the hill if it were passed,
and "if this hill had another section that dealt with funding
provided by the state, it would lie better "
"l can't imagine the legislature at this point would make that
money up." Crier said. "When you look at the budget overall,
the legislature will say vou'll have to eat the half million."
"I would like in a lot of ways to lie able to help," Crier said
"But I'm not sure this is the !m*s! way to do it." Crier said she
preferred the idea of a need-based program
Williams said he would like to see different residency poli
cies for graduate and undergraduate students because the two
groups differ in degree goals, family support and reasons for
attending an out-of slate school

FUNERAL
Continued from Page 1
Forty Acre*. 150 mile* north of Los Angeles, is
the land where Chavez began his struggle with
table grape growers in 19fi2.
After violenc e in the fields. then-Gov Brown
spearheaded passage of an historic; state law in
1975 that let farm workers choose their union rep
resentation by sec ret ballot. Within four month*,
more than 400 elections were held on farms and
ranches throughout the state.
The UFW won half the votes and gained now
contracts.
By the decade's end, however, growers were
refusing to renew the contracts. Many complained
that Chavez was more intent on running a social
movement than n union. Union membership
declined from lOO.O(K) workers to 20.000.
Chavez renewed the table grape boycott in 1084.
hoping to force growers to sign contracts once
more.
Fewer Americans followed his call than had
joined in the 1960s, so Chavez shifted the boycott s
emphasis to a demand for a ban on pesticides used
on grapes.
To promote the boycott, he fasted in 1988 for 36
days, the longest of numerous fasts Chavez said
heiped clear his mind. Doctors said it left him with
kidney damage.
Chavez ended an almost week-long fast the day
before he died. But a report released by the Chavez
family from his physician. Dr. Marion Moses,
made no mention of fasting as a possible contribu
tory cause of death.
Medieval major to go solo
By Debbie Lair
fix tt*e Oregon Dotty £ mtxokj
The medieval studies program, currently under the humanities
department, will soon become independent, said the program's co
director
"Ballot Measure 5. which has decreased University funding, is
slowing down the application process for the new program,” said
lames Earl, the program's co-director But he said he hopes to see the
program became independent by 1 994 or 1995.
This is the program's first year of operation, he said. There are 16
students currently majoring in medieval studies, and they will grad
uate with a humanities degree, he said
When the program tmcomes independent, students will lie able to
warn an actual degree in medieval studies, he said
"The program stresses two things." Earl said. It is "very broadly
interdisciplinary” and is multicultural in that, unlike other medieval
studies programs, this one includes Asia in its study of the Middle
Ages, he sai<i
One student in the program. Corine Wienk. said the program
brings the people of the Middle Ages to life for her.
"The time period has become more personalized for me now," she
said. "It gives the student the total focus of the time period, and I’ve
just really enjoyed the program ”
