Rally members dress up to support funding fo r higher education on the steps o f the Salem Capitol last week. Students rally at Capitol Patty Salazar Photo Editor On what would normally be a quiet day on the Salem Capitol steps, last Thursday turned out to be a rather full day. Hundreds o f Oregon col lege students were there pro moting funding for higher edu cation; students from all over Oregon attended the Salem rally. A ssociated Student Government President Diana Muresan was one o f the many students to be there. “I believe they have over 800 students signed up,” said Muresan. With tuition prices rising all over the state, it is definitely being felt right .on campus. Starting summer term, CCC students will have to pay $84 per credit hour. Although com munity college students feel the financial sting, it can bum even hotter for four-year uni versity students. “This one [rally] is specifi cally for the budget because that is our biggest concern,” M uresan said.

H ood on Saturday was not the best place to halt a six- gam e losing streak. The Saints have w on seven o f the last eight South R egion titles and are tied w ith Lane atop the standings this season. N o t to w orry though, as freshm an righthander M ichael Kelly, from H untington Beach, stepped up for the C ougars, pitching a com plete game shut out by scattering five hits over nine innings in a 1-0 win. The w in stopped C lackam as’ (9-21 overall, 5-13 in league) sec ond six game losing streak this season and w as ju s t w hat the Cougars needed, according to 2 3 -y ear v eteran head coach R obin Robinson. “This w in w as huge,” said Robinson. “W e’ve been press ing a little bit lately, everybody trying to do too m uch. Today we w ent in and relaxed and played the gam e and had som e fun and I think the guys did th at.” K elly w as excited after the gam e, both for his com plete gam e effort and the fact that his defense stepped up behind him. “I felt really good. I got a good stretch in w arm -ups and m y catcher w as calling a really good game for m e,” said Kelly. “T here’s no better feeling in the w orld. I cam e out and told my team I w as going to give them a lot o f balls and they helped me out a lot. Today w e left it all on the field.” D espite 11 hits, the C ougars m anaged only one run as fresh m an right fielder Luke M arks rapped a single to score sopho m ore DH Scott M yers from second in the sixth inning. The run boosted K elly’s confidence to close out the game. “O nce w e got that one run, I knew I had the gam e,” said Kelly. Please see BASEBALL, Page 6
