A major revision allows school districts to keep their mascots if they obtain writ- ten approval from one of Ore- gon’s nine federally recognized Indian tribes. Watkins said he contacted the Confederated Tribes of the Grande Ronde because of their afﬁ liation with the Kalapuya Tribe, whose members settled across the Willamette Valley and surrounding areas, accord- ing to the Oregon Historical Society. “The tribe was amazing to work with,” Watkins said. “But at my last meeting with them I could see the hesitancy. They want to support us, but they’re getting a lot of grief over it.” The school is named for the Mohawk River, a tributary of the McKenzie River.

The Register-Guard reported that under a plan backed by UO President Michael Schill, tuition for full-time, in-state under- graduate students would increase $945 for the 2017- 18 academic year. Man- datory fees would also increase $186. Out-of-state tuition would also increase by $945, or 3 percent. Schill said in a letter to students and staff that the state’s ﬁ scal problems leave him “little choice” but to accept the major tui- tion increase. He said UO’s operating expenses are ris- ing steadily. In particular, retirement beneﬁ ts under the state Public Employ- ees Retirement System are requiring large contribu- tions from the university. The UO Board of Trust- ees must approve the tui- tion hike. BIRTH Roseburg 49/62 Brookings 51/59 Mar 12 John Day 11/44 Bend 24/45 Medford 44/61 UNDER THE SKY High 8.7 ft. 7.6 ft.
