so many people who are qualified
have access to higher education,”
she said.
Bridget Bums, student body presi
dent of Oregon State University and
one of the most vocal critics of the
state’s higher education policy, said
she’s not surprised by the report.
“The state of Oregon has made a
divestment in public education,”
Bums said. “Oregon State (Universi
ty) and the University of Oregon are
social programs — the Legislature
keeps decreasing our funding.”
Oregon Student Association exec
utive director Alisa Simmons said
the lobbying group also expected the
unfavorable results.
“I’d like to say I’m shocked by
these grades, but in reality we’ve
known this for a while,” she said, cit
ing reductions in low-income sub
sidy programs like the Oregon Op
portunity Grant. “Oregonians are
being locked out of education. ”
The state did post-modest im
provements in preparation, partici
pation and benefits. Those cate
gories measure K-12 education,
record the number of students being
educated and show how higher edu
cation improves the state, respec
tively. The full report is available at
www. highereducation. org.
Goldschmidt cautioned that the
new figures reflected data collected
in 2000 and 2001, and she said uni
versities’ performances for this year
won’t be measured until the next re
port is issued in 2004.
“It shows where all the states
were before the economy slumped,”
she said.

Art and Conservation Art P 02
Jan Cavanaugh: Office: 213 LA, Ext. 6-5027
Meets: 12-12:50 MWF.166 la
Format: Lecture
Average class size: 30
Prereqs: One of the surveys in Western or Asian art suggested
Description: Until the recent controversies, such as those over the cleaning of the
Sistine Chapel or Leonardo’s Last Supper, the area of art conservation has received little
scholarly attention by art historians generally, even though a more accurate interpretation of
the meaning of an art work may depend partly on an understanding of its physical condition
and alterations in that condition over time. This course explores the principles and history
of art conservation as it has evolved from the thirteenth century to the present. Emphasis
will be placed on theoretical issues, including those of authenticity; the artist’s original
intent; p reservation versus restoration versus renovation; cultural attitudes toward the past
as well as changing political, religious, and social values; the influence of fluctuations in
taste and fashion on the practices of art conservation; the advent of the conservation
s science in the mid-twentieth century; and the role of the conservator in relation to
§ contemporary, ephemeral art forms.

Boston College watches
off-campus lawbreakers
Walter Alarkon and Julia Green
The Heights (Boston College)
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. (U
WIRE) — Many students flock to off
campus parties on weekends. When
students are off-campus, they might
not worry about resident assistants
catching them, but they do have to
watch out for other pitfalls. Every
body knows — Boston College offi
cials and police officers included —
that at most parties, underage stu
dents break the law by drinking, and
the apartment's residents break the
law by serving them. When they're
caught, students often face serious
consequences.
When student Laura Cassato
had a party last year at her Cleve
land Circle apartment, Boston Col
lege police officers knocked on her
door twice. The first time the po
lice came by, they told Cassato,
“Be quiet and you'll be fine. Con
tinue having fun but keep it
down.” The second time they told
her, “It’s loud. Get everyone out of
here.” The police verified that Cas
sato and her roommates were 21,
then left.
A few weeks later, Cassato re
ceived a letter from the university,
which warned her that any further
incidents may result in punishments
on her housing status. “It's like a
Catch-22,” said Cassato. “You're fi
nally outside the jurisdiction of
BCPD, but residents still have to deal
with ordinances.”
In a letter obtained by The
Heights addressed to students who
hosted a off-campus party that was
visited by police, Michael Ryan, as
sociate dean for student develop
ment, warned that misconduct, dis
ruption of the neighborhood,
disturbing of the peace and alcohol
violations would likely result in ar
rests or court summons and also
possible University judicial actions.
The University also sent the letter to
the residents’ parents.
“We expect students to behave
on and off campus,” Dean for Stu
dent Development Robert Sher
wood said. Boston College may con
front a student if he or she is “in
violation of local, state, or federal
laws which materially or adversely
affects the individual’s suitability as
a member of the Boston College
community and violates university
student codes of conduct. A finding
of guilty or an admission of suffi
cient facts in criminal court may be
used as evidence against a student
at an on-campus judicial hearing,”
according to the Boston College
Web site.
