“The fee is so important to us be
cause it allows for all thoughts and
all expression on campus to be
alive,” he said. “Without the fee, stu
dents would just get the bare-bones
academic experience.”
Since its inception, the bill has
drawn fire from many sources in col
lege administrations and student
governments in OUS, including
ASUO President Rachel Pilliod, Uni
versity President Dave Frohnmayer
and OUS Chancellor Richard Jarvis.
In a letter to legislators, Frohn
mayer told members of the House
General Government Committee
that the student incidental fee
process provides students at the
University with “essential campus
programs and services.”
“The student incidental fee pro
vides an essential learning experience
for students, and is a process that has
been managed effectively and respon
sibly on the campus level,” he wrote.
“I urge you to carefully consider
House Bill 3600 and return the cur
rent student choice model.”
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld
the constitutionality of students
controlling the distribution of their
student fees two years ago in South
worth v. University of Wisconsin.
Now, opponents of House Bill 3600
say it would violate that ruling.
Unless the bill is granted a work ses
sion in the Legislature, it will die when
the current legislative session ends.

War

by Islamic clerics, it has a strong re
formist element that openly chal
lenges authority.
For the moment at least, the Unit
ed States feels content in making the
Tehran regime extremely nervous
about the presence of American
forces on its borders. That reality
could help moderate the govern
ment’s extremism and enhance the
power of reformers in the country,
analysts say.
In Tehran, Iranian President Mo
hammad Khatami reflected some of
this concern in a news conference
on Wednesday. He said his country
would not accept a U.S.-installed
regime in Iraq and will support Syria
if it is attacked. But there was a
caveat: “We will defend Syria, but
that doesn’t mean we will engage in
military confrontation,” he said.
