  The bill was used to counter planned changes in the tuition payment system next fall, said Brady Horenstein, director of legislative affairs for ASWSU.The university reported it would have cost $1 million a year to create a program allowing students to make monthly payments, Horenstein said."We said we'll stop pushing the bills if the university would agree to reverse those policies," Horenstein said.In order to halt the tuition payment bill, WSU agreed to stay with the current tuition plan, Horenstein said.New plans would have disenrolled students after 30 days if tuition was unpaid, and current 5- and 10-percent late fees would be effective much earlier, he said."Right now, you have until December," Horenstein said.
  ...
  University officials and ASWSU representatives agreed on Feb. 2 to drop the bill and pursue other ideas within WSU because it is much easier to deal with issues here than it is to create new legislation in Olympia, Horenstein said.
  ...
  "They're totally willing to work with us now," Horenstein said.
  ...
  Horenstein said ASWSU is interested in settling on a system that will recognize the fact that emergencies or other special circumstances can prohibit students from meeting due dates.ASWSU would also like working students and families to be able to budget monthly, allowing them to pay tuition as paychecks are received, he said.

  Brady Horenstein, ASWSU director of Legislative Affairs, said the rising cost of tuition has been a major focus of his lobbying efforts.Financial difficulties for the state of Washington have led to major cutbacks in higher education, causing universities to raise tuition during the past several years. "Everyone still wants to fund everything," Horenstein said, but is difficult to do when the "cost of government exceeds the revenue."

Aspuria said he feels the pair's only reason for going on the trip was "for personal campaign purposes and gains."

  "Any issue that comes up in the legislature that is beneficial or detrimental to students, we weigh in on," Horenstein said.
  
  Horenstein heads the local chapter of the Washington Student Lobbyists, an organization that has a chapter in each of the public universities in Washington.
  
  Students have the option to donate $2 when they register for classes.The money goes toward the student lobbyists on campus to help fight for the interests of WSU students, Horenstein said.
  
  Once the legislature is in session, he works in Olympia to provide input on issues relevant to students.Students involved in the committee also collaborate with other WSL chapters across the state, advocating student interests in Olympia, Horenstein said.
  ...
  Horenstein said there has been a significant movement state wide for universities to have full control over the price of tuition.
  
  Last year, the legislature gave universities the power to control the tuition for graduate and out-of-state students.
  
  Currently, the tuition for in-state undergraduate students is set by the state.Though the plan is in the very beginning stages, Horenstein is worried it will give more freedom to universities to choose tuition prices.
  
  "We're just trying to hold the line and prevent them from giving the universities full control," Horenstein said.
  
  He also said students who wish to express their opinions have easier access to the legislature than the university administration.

  "Any student or parent can call their legislature and schedule an appointment," he said."It's a lot harder to schedule a meeting with the president of the university, or the Board of Regents."
  
  The chapter also has been actively observing the developments of Performance Compacts, Horenstein said.These compacts specify certain requirements that universities would have to meet in exchange for more freedoms.
  
  Aside from actual lobbying, the WSL chapter at WSU has been trying to get more students involved with the political process, as well as bringing all the different branch campuses and WSL chapters of WSU together.
  
  "Membership is up, and we're working to be more visible on campus," Horenstein said.
