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

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
