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."

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."

SATURDAY
continued from page 5A
increase Thursday.
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.
Joseph Gilg, development director
for the University Theater, touted its
programming and ability to use PFC
funding to provide discounted tick
ets to University students. PFC de
cided to increase the University The
ater's budget to $30,750, a 3.8 per
cent increase.
SASS, an organization dedicated to
sexual assault prevention and educa
tion, received a budget of $52,090 for
an increase of 4.8 percent.
Steve Morozumi, director of the
Multicultural Center, said the center is
involved in developing the Universi
ty's five-year diversity plan. PFC in
creased MCC's budget to $91,129, an
increase of 7.5 percent.
The Ecological Design Center, an
organization that promotes sustain
able building designs, received an in
crease of 14.2 percent for a budget of
$20,986.
PFC tabled The Outlaws' — the Les
bian and Gay Law Students Associa
tion — budget because of a schedul
ing miscommunication.
