Students sought for
open committee seats
Committees concerning student conduct, dorm
policy, fiscal affairs and legal matters have
openings for student members, according to Mike
Kment, ASUO Vice President.
Kment, who counts on the increased desire among
students for involvement in policy-making, expects
to fill positions on a number of faculty, ad
ministrative and ASUO committees.
Qualifications are minimal, although some posts
do require graduate student status. Concern,
dependability, and interest are the criteria for the
job, with no experience required, said Kment. The
majority of the appointments are for one year
terms, but re-appointments are not unusual.
Petitioners can inquire at the ASUO executive office
as to which committees are open. Petitions are
available in the ASUO executive office, 308 EMU.
Interested students should call Mike Kment or the
administrative assistant at 686-3724 for further
details. Petitions are due Friday.
Three ASUO committees have been altered from
previous years: STUDENT COURT PANEL,
ROTC advisory committee, and SEARCH com
mittee.
The Student Court Panel includes 12 students with
jurisdiction to determine major cases, plus two
types of judges, senior court panel and associate
court panel judges. One senior judge will make
procedural rules in the three man panel acting on
matters of fact.
A major change in the ROTC advisory com
mittee, which has five student members, includes
it’s ad hoc status.
The SEARCH committee works in conjunction
with the vice-president, screening candidates for
that position. Three students sit on it.
Also open for application are several areas in the
ASUO Senate task force. They include: higher
education, student conduct, campus plans,
governing, fiscal fiscal policy, legal affairs, and
dorm policy. These positions may be held
simultaneously with the ASUO committee seats, the
petition procedure being the same as with com
mittee seats.

People’s bookstore plans
The University’s first attempt
at a “people’s bookstore” has
been a failure, but better things
are in the works for students next
quarter, promises Walker Edens,
ASUO Chief Administrative
Officer.
The main purpose of Book Fair,
an ASUO project, is to provide
students with a cheaper , more
responsive alternative to
Eugene’s present bookstores.
Suggested by students last
year, Book Fair plans began last
week, but due to lack of time and
publicity most students were not
aware of the project.
The fair was planned to provide
a place where students could
come and exchange textbooks
with one another, thus freeing
people from much of the expense
associated with getting texts.
There would be no middle man or
overhead involved - students
would deal directly with each
other.
Because of the lack of funds.
Book Fair will be using volunteer
help and perhaps charge a very
nominal fee for participation next
winter. “Book Fair will buy used
texts for more and sell them for
less," said Edens He explained
the primary’ advantage would be
less expensive prices. Also,
books the stores would not buy
back would be purchased by Book
Fair and be available to students
as supplemental texts or for
research purposes.
Edens added some professors
have expressed interest in buying
new books through the ASUO
project.
