Following the approvals, Sena tors passed a motion disallowing further use of student money for food at group events until specific guidelines could be made by a Senate subcommittee. Tlie Women's Center was allowed to transfer $843 from existing funds to pay food bills the group ran up dur ing the Women of Color conference. The environmental design group H.O.P.E.S. was approved for $584 for food bills from its Eco-Design Confer ence. The Asian/Pacific American Student Union was approved for $96 to pay foran upcoming banquet. All three groups transferred mon ey within already approved budgets. Adam Weiss, treasurer of H.O.P.E.S., said having food is of ten integral to programming. “Sometimes food is the only way to get people to come, and it usually keeps them coming back year after year,” he said. But some Senators expressed con cern that using mandatory fee money to pay forgroup banquets and lunch es didn’t always benefit the entire campus culturally or physically. “In the past, groups have always used fund raising to pay for food at their events,” said Senator Kent Black. Despite reservations, senators decided to approve all three line item transfers in order to be con sistent. They said they would study the problem. “This body is anything but con sistent,” said Senator Elliot Dale. “We’ve waffled on a number of is sues this year.” The Senate will draft new rules it will follow when deciding whether to allow a group to use ex isting funds for food or beverages. Frohnmayer: Less funding means higher tuition ■ Continued from Page 1 he said. As funding falls, the Uni versity is forced to dramatically raise tuition, which may limit stu dent enrollment opportunities. In today’s competitive market, Frohnmayer said higher educa tion is no longer an option but a necessity. “It’s a chance to com pete in a global economy where the ticket of admission is no longer a high school diploma but at least a baccalaureate degree,” he said. Demographic analysis reflects the changes that are occurring within the student population. Frohnmayer said only one-fifth of the nation’s college students fit the traditional student profile. “The number of adult learners is absolutely skyrocketing,” he said. "We need to meet their needs.” Frohnmayer also addressed the increasing importance of techno logical savvy, noting that many of the jobs sought by today’s gradu ates are recent additions to the marketplace. “If you said ‘software engineer’ 20 years ago, you’d probably think of someone designing upscale un dergarments,” he said. Frohnmayer emphasized the need to provide a solid liberal arts education for students, explaining that those who can "learn how to learn over a lifetime” may be best equipped for a marketplace de fined by change. He said if a typi cal University graduate holds five jobs over a career, it’s possible that four of those jobs haven’t been cre ated yet. “As a local business and a repre sentative of local businesses, I feel that the local community does have a strong partnership with the University. We work very closely with several departments,” said Kari Westlund, president of the Convention and Visitors Associa tion of Lane County Oregon. She said the organization sends information about Lane County’s attractions to prospective stu dents, works with the athletic de partment to bid sporting events and generates extended stays for visitors drawn to the University to participate in sporting events. Westlund added that like many local businesses, the organization works with the University’s career development program to place in terns and provide real-life busi ness experiences for students.
