Illegal immigrants will be charged higher tuition fees By Andrea Cavanaugh Staff Writer Illegal immigrants registering for college classes in California will be charged significantly higher tuition rates next semester as a result of a recent state court decision. The court ruled that students who are not legal United States residents must pay out-of-state tuition fees of $103 per unit for credit classes, a sharp increase from the $6 per unit. Although the Bradford decision, which takes effect Jan. 1, applies only to the University of California system, community colleges will be "forced into compliance because of the directive that has come from t.Pe Chancellor's office," according to Herman Lee, director of admissions/ records. To adhere to the decision, students registering at California community colleges for the spring semester will be asked to provide information regarding their citizenship status for the first time, Lee said. He acknowledged that enforcement of the ruling will rely on the honor system. Only those new students who indicate on their registration form that they are not United States citizens or have lived in California for less than two years will be asked to provide documentation, Lee said. "We have way too many students (to check everyone)." While the admissions office is already gearing up for the

Student Government Senator Tom Turk put this sign up at the entran·ce of the Student Union calling for ASG Adviser Jim Bowen's removal. Turk and ASG President Erik Johnson allege misconduct by Bowen.
Voicing his dissatisfaction with Associated Student Government Adviser Jim Bowen, Senator Tom Turk posted a sign at the entrance of the Student Union Wednesday, calling for Bowen's removal. "Don't Advise, DeBowenize" was the message on the sign put up by Turk. "I personally would like to see the students get the proper representation," Turk said, "to get someone in student services that the student government can work with." Bowen said although he did not see the sign , he was aware of it. "I heard about it," Bowen said. "I think it's juvenile. My office is always open. I think we should talk one-on-one." He said the relationship between him and the ASG needs to be clarified. "Their job is to represent students," Bowen said. "My job is to

Although Turk and ASG President Erik Johnson will not disclose any of their grievances until they have a chance to discuss it with administrators, they said the changing of the Palomar student constitution last summer was one factor in their dissatisfaction. Most of the changes, according to Bowen, were corrected typographical errors but a by-law was added stating that the ASG secretary must maintain a 2.0 G.P.A. Bowen is accused. of changing the student government's constitution intentionally and without ASG consent.
