Mon-Thurs 10 7 • Fri 5 Sat 10 9 Open Sunday 12-5 13th& Lawrence* 683-1300 Speech: Students can join rally ■ Continued from Page 1 from the Oregon Health Plan, and the new proposals would return at least 1,700 of them at a cost of $1.9 million, OSA presenters explained. Part of the funding is coming from the 30 cent to bacco tax, which recently took effect. Further funding comes from a two percent cut of the state’s “kicker fund.” “The budget is in jeopardy,” the governor cau tioned, noting that funding for the freeze could be re moved. “There is discussion in the Legislature to use the money to fill other general fund programs,” he said. ASUO President Matt Scotten is on the board of di rectors of the OSA. He praised Kitzhaber for being supportive of students “ ideologically and spiritually, despite fiscal realities. ” Scotten said the tuition freeze has shown up on the legislature’s “collective'radar screen” and has the best chance of passing. The Oregon Students Association presented statis tics on the current crisis in tuition costs. In 1970, they said, students could earn enough from a minimum wage summer job to pay Oregon tuition. “Now earn ings fall short, and paying one’s way through school is no longer viable,” they said. “Tuition has risen 80 per cent, while the minimum wage has stagnated. ” Several Oregon State students gave testimony on how the price hikes and service cuts of recent years had affected them. Tiffany Thacker, a student who used the Oregon Health Plan to cover prescription medicine for her epilepsy, said she can no longer pay for the plan. "I have friends who need glasses and dental care but can’t afford it,” she said. Chris Munson, another student, told Kitzhaber he has given up on plans to continue his education be cause he has taken on over $10,000 in debt in the last two years. Governor Kitzhaber responded, saying “These three individuals help put human faces on the issues. It is more than just fiscal accountability; these bud get choices affect real people in real ways.” He allowed that his budget does not adequately ad dress child care, and he pledged to make that a pri ority. Refusing to promise specific vetoes on changes the Legislature could make, Kitzhaber nevertheless urged the OSA to keep up the pressure on the Legis lature and lauded their efforts so far. He encouraged all students actively lobby the Salem Legislature. “It is an issue of personal integrity as well as a mat ter of public policy,” Kitzhaber said, explaining his resolve in the area of educational access. Scotten said students who would like to become involved can join the OSA-sponsored “Rally at the Capital” on February 20th. Students will meet at 8 a.m. at McArthur Court to depart for Salem. There they will attend a rally and meet with legislators. Career: Center can connect students, jobs ■ Continued from Page 1 said. By networking with friends and relatives, students can make connections that will help them reach their career goals, Paramore said. The internship is also a powerful networking tool, Smith said. “You determine if they’re a match for you, and they determine if you’re a match for them,” he said. But not all strategies are recommended by Career Center counselors. Newspaper classified advertisements are not the most productive search technique, Paramore said. She said approximately 20 percent of jobs available are listed through classifieds, and she advised that students should concentrate their efforts on network ing. The career center provides numerous resources for students interested in finding jobs and internships. University students can register for free with the center and have their resumes given to recruiters who frequently call the center three or four times a week looking for students with particular qualifications and skills. “Reflections of the Histo ry of the Peoples of African Doscent” is the theme for the BSU-sponsored Black History Month Activities.
