Fees
continued from page 1
“An example would be an art
course with art supplies — those
sorts of things,” he said. Lab mate
rials for Architecture 461 will in
crease from $5 to $10 if the pro
posal is approved.
Dyke said departments can legal
ly adjust fees annually and often
do. The adjustments must comply
with Oregon law and must be ap
proved by a supervising vice presi
dent, the Oregon University System
chancellor’s office and the secretary
of state before they are implement
ed. Public input is considered by
Vice President for Administration
Dan Williams. Student advocacy
also can review some fees and sug
gest changes. A public hearing on
the changes begins at 3 p.m. March
12 in the EMU Board Room.
The increases also affect the
price of parking permits and speed
ing fines. Students stopped by the
Department of Public Safety for
speeding or ticketed for blocking a
fire hydrant with their car would
pay an extra $10 next year under
the proposal.
Rand Stamm, parking and
transportation manager for public
safety, said the department wants
to raise some fines to deter com
placent or reckless drivers from
endangering lives.
“We have quite a bit of speeding
on campus,” he said. “People rid
ing bicycles or walking could get
seriously hurt. If that concern won’t
persuade you, the cost will. That’s
why we have fines.”
Stamm said the department also
will increase parking-permit costs
about 3 percent to cover the rising
annual price of enforcement and
parking lot improvements. The
price of a 12-month student park
ing permit would increase from $85
to $88 in 2002-03, and a yearlong
faculty parking permit would in
crease from $150 to $155.
DPS also plans to implement a
$5 bicycle permit fee for all riders
on campus.
If the fee and fine adjustments
are adopted, not every student will
foot the increases. Williams said
the user fees are designed, in prin
ciple, to tax specific groups of stu
dents. After all, it doesn’t make
sense to charge students for print
ing costs if they’re not using a com
puter lab, he said.
“Students who don’t choose or
need these activities or services
should not be subsidizing them,”
he said. “Some are troubled by the
fact that the fees have grown over
the years. There is discussion going
on now that some fees should be
folded into tuition costs.”
Student advocates closely exam
ine fees levied at students because
tuition has become so expensive,
director for student advocacy
Hilary Berkman said. She said the
bicycle permit fee is a prime exam
ple of a cost students shouldn’t be
forced to bear. She said student
advocacy would object to the fee

because it dissuades students from
riding their bikes to class.
“It doesn’t look like a lot of mon
ey, but it’s definitely a fee we object
to because it doesn’t further the
strong policy of keeping cars off
campus,” she said. “I think it’s im
portant that students don’t have cu
mulative fees they don’t notice un
til they register. If a particular fee
disproportionately affects students,
we might look at that also.”

Lighting
continued from page 1
which corridors to focus on.
But the ASUO input that facili
ties is waiting for seems nonexist
ent. ASUO President Nilda Brook
lyn said ASUO hasn’t really been
involved in the planning, as the
“executive role is giving the mon
ey.” She said ASUO is leaving it up
to facilities to decide how the mon
ey will be used and where the
lights will be placed on campus.
Another obstacle that facilities
must overcome is a new city
code that restricts “up lights,”
Bloom said. He said the lights
used on campus now “look like
airport lights. They light up the
whole sky.”
New bulbs would use less ener
gy than current bulbs and Would
direct more light where it is need
ed, Blooms said. Replacing current
bulbs could mitigate the need for
additional lighting, so it is difficult
to project what new lights would
be needed.
The one project already under
way will replace lights along the
corridor from the EMU to the East
Bean parking lot. The first new pole
has been put up with a new, effi
cient bulb on the west side of the
Agate Street crosswalk, Bloom said.
It is unclear whether the money
will focus solely on improving
lighting on campus corridors, or if
the money will be used for other
safety-related maintenance costs,
such as repairing sidewalks or trim
ming back bushes.
The money for the lighting project
was allocated from the 2000-01
overrealized fund. Enrollment was
significantly higher than projected
for the year, which allowed ASUO
to distribute the extra money to vari
ous projects on campus, including
the ASUO “Bucks for Ducks” con-»
test, the Center on Diversity and
Community, and Facilities Services.
Brooklyn said some of the money
was distributed to facilities because
of student demand for more lighting.
The involved organizations will
be meeting Feb. 28 to discuss ener
gy consumption and student con
cerns. They plan to develop a time
line for when the new lights will be
installed.
