president, vice-president Paige Jackson 1884 Alder Apt. No. 14 344-7557 Senior - Psychology Richard Sanchez 135 East 33rd Ave. 344-2022 Senior - Political Science Community Health Statement: Last year, students paid a total of $874,000 in incidental fees to the ASUO. This year, there .have been $1,250,000 worth of budget requests, leaving a deficit of $376,000, or a 43 per cent increase in requests. It would require almost a $4.00 per term-per student raise in incidental fees. There is no way the students should be subjected to that kind of raise in incidental fees. The ASUO funds a tremendous number of varied, programs. Everything from the student union and the athletic department, to the ethnic unions and Escape are at least partially funded by student incidental fee money. In addition, many new groups have requested funding this year. All of these programs have been repeatedly asked to seek outside sources of funding. Fortunately many programs can, and have received some funding from other sources. However, it is still possible that a raise in incidental fees may be necessary. Therefore, programs must be consolidated and in some cases cut. The degree of the cut will vary from program to program but it will not be so great as to markedly decrease their services Program cuts should be determined by two basic criteria: first, how many students the program serves and secondly, does it provide a service which is not available anywhere else on campus. In order to insure the continuance of such programs, it may be necessary to raise the incidental fees by $1.00, but hopefully, this will not occur. We will not let it raise any higher. Andy Holcomb 1884 Alder Apt. 25 687-0322 Senior - Political Science Ana Aiken 1860 Alder 343-6706 Junior - Political Science Statement: Many issues will be discussed during the next few weeks. Candidates will define and re-define their major areas of concern and develop policy to deal with those problems. Look at those statements carefully and question what we all have to say. Co-governance is a very real concern to this University. Many candidates will talk of what they want done with co-governance, but the executive is only one input on that committee and cannot speak for that body. Co-governance is an extremely important and complex issue A few universities have instituted some form of co-go eraance (the University of Minnesota, the University of New Hampshire, and the University of Antioch) and many problems have arisen. The fifty-fifty representation in the “University Senate” is a popular idea. But the problem develops of what will come before this new senate. If representation is present but the power and salient issues are lacking, the student input will remain token. A strong interdepartmental student union is also a consideration when talking about co gov ema nee. The proposed EOS is a co-option by the ad ministration. Candidates talk about what they want to do with the Student Educational Programs, but isn’t this another form of co-option but from another source. The programs don’t want the administration’s plan. Let’s find out what the programs want, not proposed what we think they should be. Another concern is with ASUO programs. Many programs are so successful and growing so fast that the ASUO fee support cannot match this increase. Decisions have to be made. Either to limit the scope of the programs or by putting a ceiling on the fee support. These are some of the issues Ann and I are concerned about. Next year will be a turning paint in what direc tion the ASUO will take. Another year of just “matin taining” will seal its fate. We feel we can provide the ASUO with new and innovative leadership. If you get a chance, come talk with us, for we will need all the help we can get. Greg Leo 1230 Ferry St. Apt. No. 12 680-2185 Junior - CSPA - Affairs & Administration Statement: Deborah J. Barnett 597 Country Club Road No. 7 *4373 Junior - Rhetoric & Public Address GREG LEO - DEBORAH BARNETT FOR ASUO EXECUTIVE Students are consumers of their education. To be effective consumers students should have influence as well as input into the decisions which effect their lives. We feel that strong departmental alliances need to be developed on this campus to provide influence on matters such as tenure, curriculum, and advising. In addition, an inter-departmental student alliance should be developed to interact with the faculty and ad ministration. We have grave reservations about a student-faculty senate. This would erode the power students derive from incidental fee allocations. Any meaningul type of co-governance will take research and planning to be successful. We feel that the inter-departmental student alliances are the first steptoward a viable co-governance system. It will fill the gap between the state of student government now and the implementation of co governance. Another concern is the lack of understanding the campus has for minority students and foreign students. We hope we can, with the help of these students, provde effective programs for the ethnic papulation of the University and the U of O community as a whole. We feel the ASUO Executive should be advocates for student groups who have been passed over in the previous allocation of authority and resources. The U of O is becoming mare of a commuter campus. The ASUO must provide services for these students such as adequate parking facilities. We would propose that the ASUO provide a shuttle-bus service from south Autzen parking lot to campus. New People, New Politics, New Ideas, and the Experience to make it all happen. Vote: Leo - Barnett for ASUO Executive Jerry Lyle 1860 Alder St. Apt. No. 28 687-8731 Junior • Business Admin Statement: Tom Condon Box 3477 748-7654 Sophomore - Chemistry Money is tight. The administration of President Clark is noted world wide for its Common Sense. So why should we conflict? WE ARE TWO Straight Young Men. who will Attempt the Capacity of Pres, and Vice Pres. of "Hie ASU of O. We promise to work along Present Parameters with Vigor, to develop leadership Potential and to Explore Constantly, and declare student awareness as The only business of the first and second Positions in Student Government. Douglas Marshall 1261 Alder Street Grad. Public Affairs Cathy Fitzpatrick 1021 Mill Street Senior - Political Science statement: Every student has the right to representation in all decisions affecting the University, with or without the compliance of faculty and administration. Students gain representation when they acquire equal voting power in. University decision-making. Without an equal share in University governance, students are unrepresented, lacking the power to initiate student programs and check the decisions of faculty and administration. Darrell Murray Kirby Garrett 1412 Hayes Street 4491 Hawthorne Avenue 687-0087 689-0077 Junior - Political Science Sophomore-Political Science Statement: Problems 1. Underfinancing of all major ASUO programs that benefit students. 2. Under-representation of the majority of students due to poor election operations 3. Lack of public relations effort in state to extend student power base. 4. Lack of innovative research into programs to enhance student life. 5. Lade of involvement by students with programs and government. 6. Lack of student participation in educational decision making. Proposed Solutions 1. Income Production Incentive Program (new) 2. Income Investment Program (new) 3. Performance Rating System (new) 4. Public Opinion Poll (new) 5. Faculty Review System (new) 6. Grass-roots public relations campaign Ethnic and Human Policy Statement It is the right of every individual to have basic self respect and the respect of others for his unique human integrity. We feel that any discrimination on the grounds of color, ethnic background, or sex is an in tolerable injustice and repression of valuable human potential. We simply will not suffer any insults to the integrity of the human brotherhood. Enough said! We strongly support SEARCH, Migrant Labor Project, Ospirg, Survival Center, Illahe School, In terinstitutional Union of Students, Action Now, and Escape. We believe that we can lower incidental fees and raise services to students through our income programs. We also feel that many projects we weill initiate will involve and excite a vast numer of students. We have endless potential. Why not use it? Keep Oregon clean. Recycle all paper campaign literature at the Murray -t-Garrett geodesic recycling center on 13th Street. A sign of the good future to come. Keith Parrish 12:«» Ferry Street Apt. No. 7 :M3-2I84 Junior - Speech - Broadcasting Statement: Jim "V” Vernon 912 East 18th :t43-02IO ! Junior - Architecture I he time at the University of Oregon, has arrived to make a serious decision. We can either continue upon our present course with a nonrepresentative govern ment, answerable to no one and limited to the influence of a few students, or we can have a change in which the student government would become open to input from all who are interested in participating. The PARRISH VERNON Administration will strive to bring maximum student participation back to ASUO government This will be accomplished by supporting the programs and policies which will benefit the students on this campus. The PARRISH-VERNON ticket will work very hard in achieving the following for the students: (1) PARRISH-VERNON will attempt to give the students control of the Incidental Fee. We support the “Winkleman Plan,” which was passed overwhelmingly by the students last spring and ignored by the Wyatt Loveys adminstration, this year. REMEMBER, it is your money that we will be spending-so tell us how you want it spent WE WILL LISTEN! (2) PARRISH-VERNON will demand more funds for the library so that it can be run much more efficiently, by pressuring the finance committee of the Board of Higher Education and Roy Lieuallan the Chancellor, to make the library the number one priority in funding and not the present number three ranking in priorities. We feel that it is mare important to have a library which can stay open lata-, than to have a new building go up. So with screwed up priorities of new building construction as number one and the library as number three, we will trv to change this mess in funding. (3) PARRISH-VERNON will work to create a truly representative Student Faculty Senate to govern the University to attain greater student representation in University policy making in such areas as graduation requirements (elimination of PE requirement), Course Offerings, and professors’ tenure. WE DO NOT SUP PORT PRESIDENT CLARKS PLAN, which gives students only 10 per cent membership. We won’t settle for just “tokenism.” In closing of this voters’ guide statement, we would like to warn the student body to choose their student government with caution because you must cope with it for the next year. We then end this campaign by asking for your vote on April 17-18. David Alexander Scholl 1480 Pearl Street 344-1302 Senior - History Robert A. Scholl 1480 Pearl Street 344-1302 Law Statement: The allocation of the student incidental fees is, indeed, a serious responsibility. There are many worthy programs to which this fund could rightfully be assigned. However, we fed that the spending priority should be determined on the basis of doing the most good for the mo6t students. Consequently, we believe that at least one-half of the incidental fees should be earmarked for the creation and operation of a White People’s Alliance (WPA). Clearly, the majority of the students currently enrolled at the University of Oregon are White, and should have an equal opportunity with the small but vocal minorities to realize and understand their own identity. The remainder of these funds could be best allocated by dividing them between a fund to support a lobby for the “Oregon Secessionist Movement” in Salem, a fund to support an “Impeach the President’ lobby in Washington, D.C., and a fund to educate the citizens of Oregon that Richard M. Nixon is a pissant. Any amount remaining in the fund could best be used to augment the salaries of the ASUO President and Vice President. We firmly believe that the time has come for the* Run rung Dog” to stop running. White On! Tim Travis Senior - History William J. Kirkpatrick 2124 16th Ave. W. 34S-6310 Senior - Political Science Statement: TRAVIS - KIRKPATRICK The student government crowd is working to beat us. We want to make them start reporting their activities. We want to cut back their salaries. Twenty per cent of your Incidental Fee goes to pay stuent bureaucrats and politicians. And they want more for next year. Students would abolish ASUO if they could. For good reason. What has been done about tuition?Problems of University tenants? Dormitory reform? The AD? All bureaucracy and no activism, no organizing, no results. Travis and Kirkpatrick know all about the failures. We watched it all apart this year. We were among the few who kept co-governance alive, while the hot shots squabbled over elction rules. We helped abolish the Senate. Travis was fired for trying to persuade the “president” to come home from Salem and attend to his duties. We have been branded as the “outlaw" ticket because we talk about the stagnation, lavish salaries, increased spending, the failures and above all, reform. We have not hustled around courting the “powerful” in the ASUO, as other candidates have. The students, not the student bureaucracy, chooses the leadership. The ASUO crowd knows we do not deal from the bottom of the deck, and they know what will become of them under that kind of leadership. Credibility is not complicated, if you tell the truth, you have it. And after all that has happened this year, who can deny that credibility is the basic issue of this election? peace, Tim Travis Jack Kirkpatrick
