Fee hikes split student groups By David LoBaugh Staff Writer
entral State University's student senate wants any upcoming tuition increases linked to additional, more fairly distributed legislative funding for higher education. "We feel that Central State is horribly underfunded in comparison with other Oklahoma universities. This piece of legislature would give CSU the funds they richly deserve," Student Association President Peter Regan said.

Resolution 90-121 resulted from a recent forum on tuition at CSU in which students disapproved of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education six-year tuition plan and legislation approving the Regents' plan from the Oklahoma Student Government Association. "We will send a letter to the OSGA executive board and let them know that this is our position and that we are not in agreement with their vote and their policy, and ask them not to include CSU as any part of their group of schools supporting tuition increases without specific conditions," SA Vice President David Slane said.

MOSCOW (AP)—President Mikhail S. Gorbachev fired back at Boris Yeltsin on Tuesday, saying his political rival is not working toward "the goals of perestroika," Tass reported. Speaking to tractor factory workers in Minsk, Gorbachev was asked about a Feb. 12 interview on national television in which Yeltsin accused Gorbachev of abandoning perestroika, his economic restructuring policies, for personal political power. Gorbachev replied that Yeltsin's own objectives "are at odds with the goals of perestroika," the official Tass news agency reported. "It would be very simple if everything boiled down to our personal relationship, What is at issue is two political lines and associated strategic goals," he said. "That's where the difference i s."
WASHINGTON (AP)—States seeking to tax goods sold by Indians to non-Indians won a limited Supreme Court victory Tuesday. The justices unanimously ruled in an Oklahoma case that such taxes may be imposed upon products sold at Indian tribal stores to non-tribal members. But the court barred state officials from using the most efficient means of collecting the revenue—a lawsuit. At stake in the case are millions of dollars in state taxes and the ability of tribes to increase revenue by selling goods more cheaply without state taxes.

The Student Voice Since 1903
Dr. Clif' Warren, Liberal Arts College dean, said that this year the college of Mathematics and Science was invited, and that he hopes one day the Symposium will have campus wide participation. The faculty wanted the students work presented before their peers and an invited audience, hence the Crosscurrents Symposium was created. During the symposium students give oral presentations of their
scholarly endeavors. Regular classes in the Liberal Arts College are dismissed so students and faculty can observe the presentations. The general public is invited as well. The symposium will help the students in their future endevors, Warren said. "The Crosscurrents Symposium has become our scholarship day," Warren said. "We use it to showcase our students. But, in the short time since its inception it has become more than just a display of literary efforts, it has become a means for students to advance their scholarly careers by presenting specialized research in their disciplines."
