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.

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 - 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

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

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.

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!

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,
