STATE BOARD continued from page 1A The other confirmed members are: Donald Blair, vice president and chief financial officer of Nike Inc.; Kirby Dyess, private investor and former vice president and director of opera tions for Intel Capital; Timothy Nes bitt, chief executive officer of the Ore gon AFL-CIO; John von Schlegell, managing partner of Endeavor Capi tol; Gretchen Schuette, president of Chemeketa Community College; and Howard Sohn, chairman of the board of the Lone Rock Timber Company. Kulongoski, who already appointed three members to the board last sum mer, also reappointed University chem istry professor Geraldine Richmond. ASUO President Maddy Melton said she feels encouraged that the new appointees plan to focus on access to higher education. "That's what we down here in the ASUO talk about all the time, and to hear that echoed at the highest levels is really exciting," she said. Melton added that while she's ex cited to hear about the new board's goals, she will be watching to see if board members follow through on the comments they made in their confirmation hearing. Oregon Student Association Execu tive Director John Wykoff echoed Melton's thoughts. "Obviously (the board members) are looking to do things in a totally ■different way," he said. "We'll just have to see in what way." Wykoff, who attended the confir mation hearings, said the board members seemed passionate about refocusing the state's role on higher education and making it accessible and affordable. He said the cost of post-secondary education was of pre eminent concern to the OSA. He added, however, that the success of the board is tied to the Legislature's own level of commitment to higher education. "We've got to turn around the fund ing," he said. Oregon University System spokes woman Di Saunders agreed that money was a major problem for Ore gon universities. "We're excited that there will be a focus on reinvestment in higher edu cation, because there has been such a disinvestment in the last biennium," Saunders said. While students evenly split the costs of their higher education with the state in 1999, they now pay 64 percent from their own pockets. "It seems to be a national trend," Saunders said. "States have not had the ability to support higher educa tion as they have in the past." Low-income students in particular are suffering from a lack of state sup port, Saunders said. Tuition-sticker shock and fears of borrowing keep those Oregonians away from higher education, she said. Despite concerns about factors out side the board's control, support for the new members was cautiously optimistic "The OUS is looking forward to a new era of leadership in higher edu cation," Saunders said. "Hopefully it will mean lower costs for students." Contact the city/state politics reporter at nikacaifson@dailyemerald.com. MEASURE 30 continued from page 1A backlog will increase even more "We try not to think about it" he said. Oregon voters will decide the fate of Measure 30 on Feb. 3. Approval of the measure will bring in $800 million to the state through a tempo rary tax surcharge and other tax changes, while failure of the measure will allow a $544 million budget hole to remain and force agencies across the state to slash their budgets. If Roberts is laid off because of lack of state funding, it will be the second time in the last three years. After Mea sure 28 failed, she lost her job on the day of her anniversary of being hired at the lab. For one month and five days, Roberts sent out job applications, went to job interviews and waited to see if there was some way to get her job back "It wasn't like we could take advan tage of the time off — we didn't know we were going to get hired back," Roberts said. "There was a lot of uncertainty." She added that she likes working for the state police as a forensic sci entist, but being caught in a funding yo-yo where she isn't certain she'll stay employed has been a rough experience — one she never expect ed to have. 'This is supposed to be a stable job," she said. "I never thought I would be laid off as a forensic scientist — it's an essential part of the judicial system."

The PFC settled on a budget of $21,490 for the Survival Center; an in crease of 12.3 percent. The Oregon Voice, which is print ed twice per term, came to its PFC budget hearing expecting little be cause of the state's current economic woes. The staff left the meeting pleasantly surprised after the PFC voted for an 11.4 percent increase for a budget of $9,862. "Although it's not everything we'd like to have, we think it's reasonable, and we can prove ourselves to you guys further in the future," Oregon Voice editor in chief Ryan Born heimer told PFC. Other organizations that received budget increases include the Athletic Department Finance Committee, University Theater, Sexual Assault Support Services, the Multicultural Center and the Ecological Design Center. ADFC, an organization that nego tiates with the athletic department for student seating at university athletic events, received a budget of $3,005, a 1.7 percent increase.
