Oregon Indians receive tuition break
No matter where they now reside,
members of Oregon's federally rec
ognized tribes will soon pay only
resident tuition in the Oregon Uni
versity System.
A new policy, adopted in July by
the Oregon State Board of Higher
Education, gives resident tuition sta
tus to any member of an Oregon tribe
whoenrolls at one of the state's seven
public universities. It will save
money for Native American students
w ho previously paid higher non-resident
rates because they lived outside
Oregon.
The new policy becomes effec
tive with the beginning of fall term
1998.

ing that the system's historic way of
charging tuition failed to recognize
the historic ties tribal members have
to Oregon's land, whetheror not they
reside in the state.
"We've identified the tribes that
have recognized traditional and cus
tomary tribal boundaries within our
sute,"explained Chancellor Joe Cox.
"We share the hope with tribal lead
ers that this will help bring students
back to Oregon.
"While the number of students
will not likely be large, the symbol

Man dies after being bit by
Five employees from the Confed
erated Tribes' Public Safety Branch
have been placed on administrative
leave pending a full investigation
and review of an incident that led to
the death of Luther Danzuka, 42, of
Warm Springs.
The Warm Springs Public Safety
ambulance was summoned to a resi
dence at 3248 Walsey Lane behind
Warm Springs Plaza Tuesday
evening, August 4. The Tribes' 9-1-1
system had received a call that a
man had been bitten by a rattlesnake.
Ambulance personnel found that
three people at the residence, where
Danzuka had come for help, had been
attending to him. After questioning
Danzuka, conferring with the resi
dents, and consulting with Mt. View
Hospital in Madras, ambulance per

Danzuka had been bitten by a snake.
However, it was determined that he
was under the influence of intoxi
cants. Danzuka was transferred to the
Warm Springs jail and placed under
observation. After jail personnel ob
served that Danzuka's right arm was
swollen and he was having difficulty
breathing, the Warm Springs ambu
lance was again summoned and he
was transported to Mt. View Hospi
tal. Danzuka died at the hospital.
Charles "Jody"Calica, the Tribes'
Chief Operations Officer, said, "This
is a very unfortunate accident and
death. We are taking all possible
measures to determine if appropriate
procedures were followed and to en
sure that they will be in the future."
The Tribal Council has directed that
there be an inquiry into the incident

to identify corrective measures, if
any, that may be required.
The Warm Springs Police Depart
ment, in conjunction with the FBI, is
conducting an investigation into the
events leading up to the fatality. De
tective Don Courtney is working with
FBI investigatorGary Samuel as they
try to determine what actually oc
curred. The names of the Public Safety
employees placed on administrative
leave are being withheld until the
investigation is complete. With re
gard to the employees, Calica said,
"We have drawn no conclusions of
any wrong doing. The final disposi
tion of any formal issues will be
decided when a better evaluation of
the totality of facts and circumstances
has been completed."
