of the card within the brackets to the left of the
name of the candidate(s) for whom they wish to
vote. Any adhering punch pieces must be picked
off the back so as not to foul the computer.
2. MORE THAN TWO (RED) OR TWO

a. If the student wishes to WRITE-IN a can
didate, instruct the student to use the slot at the
bottom of the list, and write the name alongside.
It is extremely important that the computer card
is not damaged in any way!
i.d. needed:
All members of tha Associated Students of the
University of Oregon shall be allowed to vote
upon presentation of their present term
validation fee card, and an ID card with their
photograph on it.
why vote?
I wonder of the need to hold
elections at all.
Yet the issues are there. It’s a
pity the candidates - so far - don’t
seem to understand them: worse
- some experienced candidates -
who should know better - by their
statements demonstrate a clear
lack of knowledge of the nature of
the jobs and a miniature concept
of the nature of ‘leadership’ and
the implications of managing a
business worth over $1 million.
Co-governance is a myth, right
now. No university President in
Oregon has supported more the
concept of student representation
in University affairs and student
involvement in Administrative
decisions (more) than Robert
Clark. It’s unlikely that this
support will ever be replicated
again from his successor. For
perhaps the first time we are
going to lose his ‘rubber stamp’
on our Budget. And we’ll never
get it back. No administration,
let alone the State Board or the
Legislature are going to be
comfortable allowing five
students disubrsing $1 million.
Student government of this
campus - by far the best in
Oregon, the most advanced on
the Pacific Coast, and one of the
most sophisticated in the nation -
will be reduced to what so many
others are. We got rid erf that
(latter) type of government when
we got rid of the Senate. But it
was a beginning, not an end. We
must rewwrite the ASUO Con
stitution to include proper checks
and balances - perhaps by
enlarging both the membership
and the scope of the Incidental
Fee Committee. Next year the
ASUO Executive, the Con
stitution Committee and the
special co-governance Com
mittee must rise above the
politics of the past year, must
dispense with the naive
platitudes of “them versus us”
administration vs. students
and must realize that the con
fidentiality and trust, which are
part of the requirements of any
worthwhile relationship, are
more critical at that level.
Confrontation will not realise co
governance. Reason could. Sure
it’ll be difficult. And there’s only
a short year to do it in. And not
too many students and faculty
understand what’s involved - yet.
But whoever is elected President
and Vice-President of this
campus will have a mandate for
responsibility, for rationality, for
compassion, so that the foun
dation that has be -m started these
past months, so that the effective
management of student
programs in next years, will be
secured
37,000 students at the
University of Wisconsin,
Madison, voted last week for a
new student body president. The
leading candidates got 543 votes
and the opposition 232, 85, and 56
votes respectively. (Last year’s
University of Wisconsin Student
Government President, Tim
Higgins, is now President of the
National Student Association, the
‘national government’ of student
governments). We’re so far
ahead erf that it’s not even funny.
But we would return to that level
if the vision of next year’s ASUO
President and Vice-President is
limited to the perspectives which
some of the declared candidates
demonstrate. It’s not a sinecure:
It’s an opportunity to grow in so
many ways. It’s also an op
portunity to serve all of us,
students, faculty, administrators
and staff, in this supposedly
academic community.
Two candidates will be elected.
Your vote will help decide
whether so-called “political
commodities” or real students
are given that mandate. You’re,
therefore, part of the problem.
You could be part of the solution.
Please.Vote... Thanks.
