B reslow continued from page 6A here after they finish their two years there. So we need to make sure that students coming into [the Universi ty] have the best possible education. There will be a rise in tuition next year, but we have had a tuition freeze for the last 5 years. So not this year, but next year, there will be an inflationary tuition raise. In the last five years, tuition hasn’t gone up at all, so it’s just going to be bumped up for inflation. But we’ll keep an eye on that. We know that if the Republicans take power, we’re going to be bat tling to keep our student fees, which we thought We won with South worth. Last year, with Southworth, which was a Supreme Court case where they challenged student fees all the way up to the Supreme Court, we won 9-0 ... which would make you think that the fight’s over, right? But the Republicans have it in their platform that they’re going to look at student fees. It’s basically looking at if student fees can fund political or ganizations, such as say, OSPIRG, or the College Democrats, College Re publicans, or if students get to choose where their student fees go, if that’s legal. We think it is, and we’re going to fight for it. K I hope I’ve estab lished a good relation ship with the administra tion and I hope to keep it that way. But I’ve kind of shown in my past that I’m not afraid of stand ing up to anybody, and sayingwhatlfeel. I’m also not out to piss peo ple off. JayBreslow ^ ^ ASUO President // Q: What relationship do you ex pect to have with the administra tion? A: We get along great at this point. We need their help, and thev need our help for voter registration. We have some issues on the ballot next year that I can’t talk about openly be cause of my position, that could drastically affect higher education, not only students, but administra tion. We need to have a united front for ballot measures that could dras tically affect higher education. I hope I ve established a good re lationship with the administration, and I hope to keep it that way. But I’ve kind of shown in my past that I’m not afraid of standing up to any body, and saying what I feel. I’m also not out to piss people off, or to make people angry or to set up an adver sarial relationship. Q: What does the future hold for your office and the Worker Rights Consortium? A: The ASUO will fight for the WRC. The reasoning behind that is because last year’s students voted for it, and by a 75 percent majority they passed the WRC. So as far as this ad ministration is concerned, we’re in support of the consortium, and we’ll do all things in our power to do what was deemed a good thing by an overwhelming majority. Our executive will fight to edu cate the campus on the decision that was made last year. Maybe we can go back and explain how it hap pened, and people will see that we signed on to the best monitoring or ganization that was available, and we'll talk about corporatization is sues, you know, what happens when corporations have too-high an influence on the University. Some of the stuff we need to start looking at — corporatization and Turn to Breslow. page 17A • j »n j j. i Pick up an Emerald at 03camPus & community locations.
