Physical therapy study
seeks stroke patients
University researchers studying how
the brain responds to a new physical
therapy program are looking for volun
teers who have lost some control over a
hand because of a stroke.
"This therapy, known as con
straint-induced therapy, has been
shown to improve functional mobil
ity," Associate Professor of Human
Physiology Paul van Donkelaar said
in a press release. A brief phone in
terview is enough to determine
whether potential volunteers are
good candidates for the therapy, van
Donkelaar said.
Among other criteria, candidates
must be at least five months past the
onset of stroke, and their ability to
move the affected wrist and fingers
must be restricted to approximately
10 degrees.
Volunteers will complete a free,
intensive two-week therapy program
and four brain-imaging sessions dur
ing a five-month period, and will re
ceive a stipend of $20.
Researchers will use magnetic reso
nance imaging equipment to investi
gate neurological changes that occur
with improvements in arm movement.
For more information, contact
Jeanne Langan at the Department of
Human Physiology at 346-0275.

Napster makes a deal
with various colleges
LOS ANGELES — The company
behind the Napster 2.0 online music
service said Monday it has signed
agreements with several universities
to offer students its digital song sub
scription program.
Beginning in the fall, students at
Cornell University, The George
Washington University, Middlebury
College, the University of Miami,
The University of Southern Califor
nia and Wright State LIniversity will
have access to the service through the
schools, the company said. The insti
tutions will receive access to unlim
ited streaming and song downloads
at a discount.
The Napster deals are one of many
steps colleges nationwide are taking
to discourage illegal music file-shar
ing among students.
Students must still pay Napster's
regular 99-cent charge for a perma
nent download if they wish to burn
the song to a CD. Full album down
loads outside the subscription service
start at $9.99.
A Napster spokeswoman declined
to specify the extent of the discounts
given to the universities.
The company estimates that more
than 150,000 university students will
be able to obtain access to Napster
through their schools in the fall.
Software maker Roxio Inc.
launched Napster 2.0 in October.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based
company acquired the Napster
brand from the ashes of the free pio
neer file-swapping service, which
was forced to shut down in 2001
after a protracted legal battle with
recording companies.

be harsh to make us pay for
it that way."
Mention of the fund raising ac
count prompted a discussion
about whether KWVA should use
that money for equipment
purchases and let the programs di
rector stipend become part of
Senate surplus.
Both Day and summer-session
Senate Vice President James George
felt the cost of the dual cassette play
er should be covered by fund raising
money because it was for a third stu
dio, something the Senate never
approved when KWVA presented its
remodeling plans.
"It might be time for you to pick
up the tab," George told Nisser, not
ing that the requests actually totaled
$50 more than was available in the
Programs Director stipend.
Nisser said Senate approval of the
third studio, or the lack there of, was
irrelevant to the real issue at hand.
"Initially, yes, the request to Sen
ate was for two studios, but after
that request was made, University
advisors advised me to make three
studios ... I have to look out for the
station which is all three studios,"
Nisser said.
The Senate approved the $289
transfer from the Telecom account
to the equipment account 7-2, with
Day and George dissenting.
The $679 transfer from the Pro
grams Director stipend was ap
proved 5-4 after being reduced to
$629 to eliminate the $50 discrep
ancy. The $50 will be taken from
fund raising, Nisser said. All
other transfer requests were unani
mously approved.
In other business, the Senate
unanimously approved a $1,412
transfer from the Senate surplus to
the Women's Center travel fund.
The Women's Center is searching
for a director and assistant director,
both professional positions, and
two qualified applicants live out of
state, Women's Center Education
Outreach Director Sarah Wells said.
Wells, also a senator, abstained
from voting on the transfer to the
Women's Center fund.

BUDGET
continued from page 1
"It's a different way of setting tu
ition and keeping closer to family
income increases," Saunders said.
The Board has adopted a one-year
"Tuition Mitigation Plan" to lessen
the impact of tuition increases on
students seeing larger-than-normal
increases. Per-term charges for resi
dent undergraduates will not exceed
spring 2004 levels by more than 15
percent during the 2004-05 school
year, according to the plan.
"It's a different way of setting
tuition and keeping closer to
family income increases. "
— Di Saunders
Oregon University System spokeswoman
"It's heartening that they realize
something needs to be done,"
ASUO President Adam Petkun said,
adding that this represents a turn
around from previous tuition hikes.
Moseley said that in addition to
the budget, which now faces legisla
tive approval, the board approved
seven policy packages, including
funding student enrollment growth
at $14.7 million dollars. The Uni
versity projects an annual enroll
ment of 21,000 by the end of the
next biennium.
The board also allocated $32.8
million for the policy package of
faculty recruitment and retention.
Saunders said that OUS is
concerned, with losing top faculty
members due to salary freezes.
"If these faculty members leave,
there will be a decline in quality of ed
ucation," she said. These professors
are also important because they can
attract grant money, Saunders added.
Retaining top students in Ore
gon is also a priority; many
students leave the state because
they receive better financial aid
packages elsewhere.
Saunders said OUS hopes to
keep students in Oregon by
offering more financial aid and
possibly expanding the University's
Honors College.
Only 26 percent of the U.S. popu
lation has a bachelor's degree; the
Board would like to help increase
that number by removing barriers
from transferring from two- to four
year institutions, Saunders said.
Other policy packages approved
include student access initiatives,
engineering and technology
investments and the health care
work initiative.
Moseley feels the proposal is a
step in the right direction, but it
won't be enough.
"The proposal is a very modest
one, and will not lead to the kind
of reinvestment that we need,"
said Moseley.
Moseley added that the numbers
in the budget are an estimate, and
not a firm dollar amount.
In August, the Board will submit
the final draft of its plan to Gov. Ted
Kulongoskifor approval.

with Howard Vollum. Senior
program director John Van Zytveld
said that the trust gives about 20
percent of its annual budget to sci
entific research, but is a general-pur
pose foundation that also gives
money to the arts, education
and health and human services.
The lab will be part of the OCO,
which contributes to the Oregon
Nanoscience and Microtechnolo
gies Institute in collaboration with
OSU, Portland State and the Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory, as
well as the state of Oregon and
some private industry.
