BILL Continued from Page 1 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 p m in iba Sudani Ifoalih ( #n!«r M«*du al library F« mom Inform* t»r«V call 34ft 444?

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 sai44 MM»I * *M■ :+*.*+•** *1 4MH^.
