OSU student VP criticizes
increasing education costs
Blasting ‘financial gerrymandering,'
Danielle Cox said the hikes would
prevent students from starting or
returning to OSU classes this fall
By Chris Godwin
Daily Barometer (Oregon State U.)
CORVALLIS — Associated Students
of Oregon State University Vice Presi
dent Danielle Cox recently testified be
fore a public hearing in reference to the
Oregon University System's proposed
2003-04 academic year fee book.
Cox testified before Jim Lussier, pres
ident of the Oregon State Board of
I ligher Education, Richard Jarvis, who
is the OUS chancellor, and the admin
istrative assistants of the State Board of
I ligher Education, saying "Ibis current
assault on affordability is far more titan
a mere tuition increase in the minds of
the students."
Cox continued to compare the tu
ition increase to "slight of hand" and
"financial gerrymandering" where the
increase "condenses the boundaries of
full-time students for no apparent rea
son other than to generate more rev
enue from those who fall outside the
top end of the plateau."
"1 think the issue here is not the tu
ition increases because the tuition in
creases were approved in March at the
OHS meeting," said Andy Saultz,
president of ASOSll. "Ihe issue here
is, basically, manipulation of the
numbers because the OlIS approved
numbers in March, they gave those
numbers to the legislature and let stu
dents know about those ... and then
they went back and they decided to
change the tuition plateau."
Ihe tuition plateau breaks down
what kind of tuition students pay. Stu
dents who register for credits ranging
from one to 11 pay tuition for an hourly
rate. While, for students taking 12-18
credits, the tuition rate is a constant. And
if a student takes more than 18 credits,
there is a surcharge on top of that
"What they did" Saultz said, "was
after the proposed tuition rates, after
they told the students, after they ap
proved the tuition rates for OSII and
every other school and they gave them
to the Legislature, they said 'We're go
ing to now change our plateau from
12-18 to 12-16.'"
Ihis change means that students reg
istering for over 16 credits would have
to pay an additional hourly rate just as a
student would if they were to take 19
credits under the current plan.
In her final statements, Cox asked
the Board to take into consideration
the effect increases would have on cer
tain people.
"Please remember," Cox said, "the
students who will not be returning to
campus this fall, and likewise the stu
dent that will never set foot on campus,
because they were priced out of the
market. For these students, this propos
al does not represent a new plateau, but
rather an eroding ledge"

Bush meets with African leaders
During a five-nation tour, Bush
defends American action in Iraq and
discusses options for Liberia
By G. Robert Hillman
The Dallas Morning News (KRT)
PRETORIA, South Africa — Facing
growing worldwide demands on U.S.
military forces, President Bush said
Wednesday that he intends to honor
his commitment to African leaders to
help enforce a tenuous cease-fire in
Liberia but will not push America's
military beyond its limits.
"We won't overextend our troops,
period," he said during a joint news
conference with South African Presi
dent Thabo Mbeki.
Again, Bush stopped short of com
mitting troops to Liberia, saying he was
awaiting an assessment from an advance
military team in tire war-tom country.
But he made it clear that he intend
ed to continue to support the training
of African peacekeeping forces.
"It's in our interest that we contin
ue that strategy," he said, "so that we
don't get overextended."
As he travels across Africa this week,
Bush is increasingly finding that his
messages of trade, aid and health care
to combat the AIDS epidemic ravaging
the continent are competing with per
sistent questions from African leaders
and others about his commitment to
help ensure stability in Liberia.
On Tuesday in Senegal, the issue
arose during Bush's meeting with
Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade
and other West African leaders. And
on Wednesday in Pretoria, it arose in a
meeting with Mbeki and again during
their news conference.
"Lie asked whether or not we'd be
involved, and I said, 'Yes, we'll be in
volved,'" Bush said. "And we're now
determining the extent of our
involvement."
While the South African president
welcomed the U S. commitment, he
emphasized that "We're not saying
that this is a burden tiiat just falls on
the United States."
"It really ought to principally fall on
us as Africans," Mbeki said. "Of course,
we need a lot of support, logistics-wise,
to do that but the will is there"
Bush again called on Liberian Pres
ident Charles Taylor, who has been in
dicted for crimes against humanity in
neighboring Sierra Leone, to leave the
country. But in Liberia, there were no
signs of a quick Taylor departure to
Nigeria, where he has been promised
asylum, or to anyplace else.
Bush is ending his five-day, five
country sweep of Africa on Saturday
in Nigeria. And aides indicated it
would take considerably more time
for members of the military team to
complete their assessment in Liberia.
"They've got some thorough work
ahead of them," White House press
secretary Ari Fleischer said.
The U S. military is already de
ployed in large numbers in Iraq,
Afghanistan, South Korea and the
Philippines, among other places. But
Bush brushed aside new questions
about whether his administration had .
deliberately misled the public with
his State of the Union assertion —
since acknowledged to be false — that
Iraq had tried to buy uranium in
Africa to build nuclear weapons.
"There's no doubt in my mind that
Saddam Hussein was a threat to
world peace," Bush said. "And there's
no doubt in my mind that the United
States, along with its allies and
friends, did the right thing in remov
ing him from power."
The president said he remained
confident that "when it's all said and
done," he would be vindicated in his
decision to topple Saddam.
"One thing is for certain," Bush said,
"he's not trying to buy anything right
now. If he's alive, he's on the am. And
that's to the benefit of the Iraqi people"

California mulls athletes’ rights bill
California Senate Bill would expand
athletes’ rights, but some critics say
it would jeopardize the state’s
involvement in NCAA competition
By Angelee Field
Daily Californian (U. California-Berkeley)
BERKELEY, Calif. — Collegiate
sports in California are facing an un
certain future with the introduction of
Senate Bill 193, also known as the
Student Athletes' Bill of Rights.
InUoduced by Sen. Kevin Murray,
D-Los Angeles, and Sen. John Burton,
D-San Francisco, in conjunction with
Ramogi I luma and Ryan Roques, co
founders of the College Athletes
Coalition, the bill addresses the stu
dent athletes' grievances with the
NCAA system.
But in the eyes of the NCAA, the
bill would make California student
athletes ineligible for participation
due to violations of the extra-benefits
rule under current NCAA guidelines.
"The intention is to make the
NCAA and student athletes' environ
ment better and we applaud that,"
Cal's Executive Associate Athletic Di
rector Dan Coonan said. "But the
method used to achieve that end is
what we have a problem with."
Bill 193's main points are to re
move limits of scholarships and
stipends, giving athletes more money
for cost of living expenses as opposed
to covering only the cost of tuition,
and offering health care during off
season training.
The NCAA expressed disappoint
ment with the legislation and could not
only make California student athletes
ineligible but also deem California
schools ineligible for participation in
games against NCAA-eligible teams.
"If allowed to run its course, (the bill)
will force California out of the NCAA"
the NCAA said in a statement. "The bill
ignores the rights of colleges and uni
versities across the nation to deliberate
and act on intercollegiate athletics."
Being eliminated from the NCAA
also means a loss of a $327 million
per-year industry through advertising,
television revenue and bowl payouts.
If the bill passes into law California
athletics programs are placed into a
compromising situation.
"It puts us in a position where we
have to choose between California
law and NCAA rules," Coonan said.
"Obviously, we'll have to follow Cal
ifornia law."
