Child care neglect Proposed legislation that would help students with the high cost of child care is in danger of dying of neglect in the Oregon Legislature. House Bill 2459, is currently mired in the Joint Ways and Means Subcommittee on Education. As the legislative process slows down with the approaching summer break it becomes more and more difficult for new legislation to receive consideration regardless of the bill's intrinsic merit. This bill deserves more consideration. Many students who have children are being priced out of an education because of the high cost of child care that can run as much as $200 a month. Current programs for child-care funding generally exclude graduate students, freshmen and sophomores in four year schools and community college students en rolled in academic transfer programs. The Oregon Stu dent Lobby estimates that 3,000 students in Oregon would benefit from a state-funded child care system. Subsidizing child care costs would be a form of financial aid for a group of students clearly in need. The bill does not lack support. The League of Women Voters of Oregon and the State Chapter of the Ameri can Association of University Women (AAUW) formally endorsed the child care subsidy bill. The AAUWstats "Our members highly value their education receive! the university level, and believe that the lack of chi care should not inhibit the potential student." Four senators and 12 representatives are listed sponsors of HB 2459. The only thing stopping imme ate passage of the bill is the cost: $3.75 millic We feel that this bill deserves the support of theenti college community. The only way the Legislaturevi spend money is if pressure is applied. Pressure frc those who would be most affected by this bill has be sadly lacking, which is why HB 2459 is still in comm tee. Unless enough pressure is applied soon, the bilh whither on the vine and summer vacation cut-t budget feelings will effectively kill any chance it have of passing. Students should write or call their and demand action on the child care measure. Oregon Student Lobby is doing what it can but there no substitute for constituant pressure. The soon HB 2459 gets out of committee, the better its chanc will be of passing.
