Student Lobby opposes tuition increase
The Oregon Student Lobby an
nounced that it is seeking a tuition
freeze for resident students and a
smaller increase in nonresident
tuition than recommended by Gov
ernor Vic Atiych.
The tuition levels recommended by
Atiyeh in his 1979-81 biennial budget
would result in increases ranging
from $282 to $1494, the “ largest tui
tion increases in over a decade,” ac
cording to Nahum Chandler, chair
person o f the OSL Board o f Direc
tors.
A tiy c h ’ s tu itio n recom m enda
tions, he said, violate the spirit o f
President Carter’ s voluntary seven
percent wage and price controls and
“ his
g u b erna torial
campaign
promise to college students to keep
tuition low .”
Claiming that “ students have been
bearing a disproportionate share o f
cost increases for more than a de
cade,” Chandler said that tuition
and fees for resident undergraduate
and graduate students at the state
colleges and universities are already
significantly higher than the national
average — 18 percent higher for un
dergraduate students and 61 percent
higher for graduate students.
For the first time since the incep
tio n o f state scholarship aid, the
Governor is proposing a reduction in
the financial aid for students from
middle-income families, according to
Chandler. The student lobby is not
asking for general fund monies to
serve additional students’ needs, he
said, but asking that the program
continue to serve the needs o f mid
dle-income students it currently serves.
A tiy c h ’ s proposed tu itio n in
creases, coupled with the reduction
in the amount o f state financial aid
available for middle-income students
w ill mean that “ many Oregonians
w ill be denied post-secondary educa
tional opportunities,” said Chand
ler.
Chandler, student body president
at Southern Oregon State College,
said that the student body also wants
m andatory release o f faculty and
course evaluations. A ll state colleges
and universities are now required to
evaluate faculty members for promo
tion and tenure, but the decision o f
whether or not to make the results
available to students rests with each
institution’ s president.
HB 2831, introduced by Represen
tative Mary Burrows (R-Eugene) at
the request o f the Oregon Student
Lobby, w ould require that the
evaluations be released to the student
associations, which would then make
the decision about publishing them.
Rebuttals by faculty members would
be published w ith the evaluations
and evaluations fo r first-term in
structors would not be published but
released to the faculty member under
the bill, said Chandler.
The Oregon Student Lobby, which
represents students at the state’ s
seven public colleges and univer
sities, is also proposing a systemwide
in s tru c tio n im provem ent p roject
which would create opportunities for
faculty members to improve their in
struction techniques through w ork
shops and counseling.
Both the faculty-course evaluation
and the instructional improvement
project bills are directed toward im
proving the instructional quality at
the state colleges and universities,
according to Chandler.
Other legislative priorities o f the
Oregon Student Lobby include: child
care for low-income students; fund
ing o f women’s intercollegiate athle
tics; requiring student employees be
paid the federal minimum wage; and
m aking in s titu tio n s o f higher
education accessible to handicapped
persons.
"W e believe that our legislative
p rio ritie s are reasonable, being
formulated in line with the limited fi
nancial resources o f the state and the
financial needs o f its citizens,” said
Chandler. The Oregon Student Lob
by identifies with the taxpayers’ fru
stration over the increasing cost of
government and the declining quality
o f its services. These principles are
embodied
in
our
legislative
program,” he concluded.
Alberta/Concordia businesses organize
Ten Alberta Street business per
sons and property owners have given
approval to a set o f by-laws forming
the Alberta Street/Concordia Busi
ness Association.
A t a breakfast meeting on
February 21st hosted by Concordia
College, members o f the Association
approved the constitution outlining
these functions: to help improve the
appearance and business clim ate
along A lberta Street; to gain the
benefits resulting from joint efforts
toward a common goal in such areas
as advertising, promotion, and better
security; and to help Alberta Street
businesses become eligible for certain
types o f government assistance.
Members of the new Alberta Street/Concordia Business Association
listen to newly-elected President Brien Ratty explain the purposes of
the organization.

PORTLAND — A new environ
mental rule has been adopted by the
Oregon E nvironm enta l Q u a lity
Commission requiring retail outlets
selling motor oil to post signs in
forming the public where they can
recycle their used oil. The new law is
designed to encourage and inform
the consumer to recycle their used
motor oil at one o f 450 special oil
depots across the state.
Each year in Oregon it is estimated
that more than 5 million gallons o f
used oil are disposed o f improperly.
Much o f this oil is dumped on the
land, “ over the fence,” or worse,
down storm drains where it enters
public waters. This indiscriminate
disposal process contributes to con
ta m in a tio n o f O regon’ s many
streams and lakes.
The used oil recycling program
was established by the 1977 Oregon
Legislature. The legislature recog
nized the improper disposal o f used
oil by the consumer as a waste o f a
non-renewable resource, o f potential
energy, and as a severe pollution
problem. The program was geared to
the “ backyard m echanic,” who
changes his oil and has no way to
properly dispose o f the used oil. Ser
vice stations and the car maintenance
industry have long recycled their
used oil products.
Through the used oil recycling
program, the Department o f En
vironmental Quality has established
450 oil recycling depots in various lo
cations o f the State. The goal is to re
cover the estimated 5 million gallons
o f used oil lost each year. To obtain
the location o f the depot nearest you,
call the Recycling Switchboard in
Portland at 229-5555. In locations
outside the Portland area call the
State toll-free number 1-800-452-
7813 and ask for the DEQ Recycling
Switchboard.
Used oil can be re-refined and
cleaned to produce as good as new
lubricating oil. Used oil can also be
sufficiently screened to produce a
bunker grade fuel oil for use in in
dustrial boilers. It is used also for
dust control measures on unpaved
roads, replacing virgin oils used for
that purpose.
Although some 450 depots have
been established, the DEQ is conti
nuing its search for new recycling
depots. Anyone wanting to start a
used oil depot should contact Chuck
Geyer, the used oil recycling pro
gram manager, at 229-6434 or toll
free 1-8OO-452-78I3; ask fo r 229-
6434.
