raise the maximum Poll Grant for
low-income college students by
12 percent, increase the sire of
the Arnencorp program and give
middle-class parents tax breaks
for children in college, according
to Associated Press reports

reject President Clinton's budget
in its drive to reduce the federal
deficit.

"Because a foil was passed on campus and a
large quantity of the money was found at the
library, there is a suspicion" that students are
involved, Green said.
While counterfeiting is not o significant problem
in Eugene, Green said the improved technology of
color copiers lias led to an inc rease in the number
of bills made on those machines.
Some of the new copiers on the market employ
computer chips that either won't print bills of any
denomination, or will turn the end product i uni
pletely black, Green said
There are a few easy tests to determine if a bill
in any denomination is real. In 1990, the Treasury
Department started putting narrow polyester
threads (.ailed security strips on the left side of
bills. The strips denote the bill's denomination
Additionally, the words United Stales of Amer
ica surround the portrait of any legitimate lull Che
micro-printed words, require a maun dying glass to
see. One of the problems with a copied bill, said
Green, is that the portrait will appear flat as
opposed to three-dimensional.
Among the easiest ways to dete< t phony money
is to compare any suspected cash to the real thing
"The only way to adequately duplu ate Ameri
can currency is to base the printing plates to do
so." Green said

positive motivation, Fitzpatrick
concluded they had been
coached as to how to reply to
police and cited the fraternity
for hazing
"At this point, there are
charges against us and there is
an investigation in progress,"
DuLong said in a telephone
interview, "There is nothing
more I can say.”
"Hazing is something we're
very concerned about." said
Klaine Green, student conduct
coordinator. “We've done a lot
of work on getting rid of it. yet it
still goes on."
Green said hazing violates the
student conduct code and
penalties for a guilty finding
could lie as severe as revocation
of the fraternity's charter
Hazing also violates Oregon
law. according to l.ane County
District Attorney Doug Mar
cleroad.
"The statute was written in
10H t and has never Immiii used in
Lane County." Marc Inroad said,
He said he hasn't made a deter
mination on how to proceed
with the case
As defined, the statute is a
violation with a fine up to
$1,000 if the fraternity is found
guilty.
