The ASUO Executive capitalized on sunny weather
Tuesday, soliciting students to fill out postcards asking
legsiators for a tuition freeze as port of the student government's
ongoing campaign.
Campus and Safety Outreach Coordinator Corey Harmon
said the campaign is designed to advocate for legislators
to end some tax breaks and use the recouped revenue

to freeze rising tuition costs.
She said the executive had a goal of collecting 2,500 cards
during the day. While she didn’t know how many they had
gathered, she said there was a "large box full.”
She said students will travel to Salem next week to make
their presence known to legislators. ”
PSAG: Group will continue policy review
Continued from page 1A
been in the past.”
“Essentially, our message is ‘call
911, save your friend and there will
be no consequences,’” Blake Jones
said. “That’s been the practice the 10
years I’ve been here. ”
Blake Jones and several other peo
ple voiced concerns that automatical
ly issuing citations to people with al
cohol poisoning will have a “chilling
effect” on whether students will call
when they think they need help.
When students living off campus
take friends to the hospital because of
alcohol poisoning, they do not typi
cally receive citations, Blake Jones
said. She said sending students
through University Housing and the
student judicial system would more
effectively prevent future incidents,
and she worried the threat of going
through the city’s court system and
paying municipal fines could deter
underage students from calling for
help in situations involving alcohol.
“If this is our practice, we’re going
to have students, particularly first
year students, not being as willing to
get their friends help when they need
it,” Blake Jones said.
“The chilling effect is real and the
danger of allowing it to happen is so
much greater,” ASUO Legal Services
Director Ilona Koleszar said. “En
forcement shouldn’t be done to
where it’s chilling whether (people)
get assistance.”
Hicks said DPS’s position is meant
to protect the campus community.
“There needs to be a bit of a wake
up call for this problem,” Hicks said.
“It creates widespread community
concern for safety, and if (students
cited for drinking) persist with this
kind of behavior, they’re going to be
putting themselves in jeopardy.”
DPS Lt. Herb Horner said the one
or two cases of alcohol poisoning that
occur in University residence halls
each week use a tremendous amount
of resources, taking up the time of
facilities workers, paramedics,
emergency workers and public safe
ty officers who respond to help.
“We cannot protect (students) by
not enforcing really basic laws and
holding them accountable for their
behavior,” Horner said. “If we don’t
teach them these lessons now, then
they’re really going to be in trouble
when they get out into society.”
The meeting did not produce an
agreement on how to handle the Uni
versity’s policies on alcohol poison
ing, but a compromise is necessary,
Koleszar said.
“We can’t have one part of the Uni
versity doing one thing and another
part of the University doing something
that contradicts it,” Koleszar said.
Hicks said he hopes PSAG will get
input from other groups on campus.
The group will continue to review the
policy on alcohol poisoning at a meet
ing near the beginning of spring term.
