Senate passes bill adding $27 million to higher ed
j If passed by the House, higher
education budget would be S2.5 billion
By Colleen Pohllg
OmQcn Uatiy i rrmaks
The slate Senate'* 21-8 passage of a bill that adds $27.7
million to the 1993-95 higher education budget Tues
day brought a much-needed sense of victory to students
and higher education leaders.
However, the feeling of victory may be short-lived as
the vote now goes to the House Appropriations Com
mittee, where it is expected to face stiff opposition.
The bill, if House members approve it, could allow the
State System of Higher Education to enroll 2.800 of the
4.000 students slashed from (iov Barbara Robert's pro
posed budget
"We re encouraged and appreciate the Democrats and
Republicans who supported us.” University Provost Norm
Wassails said. "This fundamentally addresses access
because most of the money we'll see is for that purpose
Now we just need to convince House members that access
is key to this state."
Sen Lenn Hannon. R-Ashland. who worked closely
with Oregon Student lobby leaders to pass the vote, said
he has mixed emotions about the upcoming House vote
“I would hope the House goes along with the Senate
on this one. but (Rep. John) Minnis (RTroutdale), seems
to want to defeat this and oven further reduce the high
er education budget.” Hannon said. "If that occurs, it's
almost a forttgone conclusion that it will go toconfctruruui
committee. and hopefully wu can settle i! I Imre”
Minnis. chairman of I ho House < ummittee. said he is
not opposed to higher educ ation funding. Imt lie doesn't
tiehevu the money is available
"We don't have the resourt os to put into higher edu
cation. and the Senate is playing a cruel game by making
students and others think we do have the resourt es,”
Minnis said.
"(The Senate) is making a huge try to the public that
this is the right thing to do. hut it's wrong to give the
public false hope." Minnis said
Minnis said he expot !s to tiogin hearings on budgets
for lilt? eight-institution system ill the next two weeks
