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" U-WIRE 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" (c) 2003, The Dallas Morning News.

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."
