For Marshall-Fitzpa trick
As evidence for Douglas Marshall’s
willingness and ability to deal with the
problems of minorities, I would like to
point out his involvement in 1967 with
migrant labor workers in Forest Grove.
Marshall played an instrumental role as
an organizer of the union V.I.V.A. His
success with this task not only shows his
responsiveness to minority problems and
his leadership capabilities; but also, it
stands as a forerunner to his beliefs about
the needs of women students.
Marshall has come out with a strong
program for women, including such things
as equal participation of women on
committees, more day care funding, more
gynecological services, and equal
facilities for women’s athletics. His un
derstanding of the necessity for equal
rignts is reflected in his positive stand on
the rights of women.
I urge you to support and vote for the
Marshall-Fitzpatrick ticket.

I’m running for Junior Class President
because I feel what I accomplished as
Sophomore Class President is worthy of
being continued. This included a suc
cessful Great Race for Muscular
Dystrophy, numerous events for the Heart
Association, starting the Friendship with
the Elderly program, and a successful
food drive for the poor (close to two tons of
food). x
What I would hope to accomplish for the
Junior Class would be:
1. Fund raising events for the Heart
Fund.
2. Continuation of the Friendship with
the Elderly program.
3. Continuation of the food drive for the
poor.
4. An improved parents weekend.
I’ve gained a lot of knowledge from
Sophomore government this past year and
I only hope I will be able to improve on
what I’ve already gained.

After having known and worked closely
with Mary for quite some time, we
wholeheartedly support her for Junior
Class Vice-President. Mary is one of those
rare people who has the capability to turn
work into a pleasure. She is a dedicated
leader who is always one step ahead of the
game.
We have never seen her unprepared or
with a project uncompleted, and yet she
always remains receptive to others’ ideas
and suggestions. We are confident that
whatever Mary undertakes, she will do
well.
We urge that you strongly consider and
vote for Mary McFarland for Junior Class
Vice-President.

For Marshall-Fitzpatrick
What a joke that the Wyatt-Loveys junta
now seeks to use its pet appointed Election
Court to steal the Primary victory won by
Doug Marshall and Cathy Fitzpatrick.
As soon as Marshall had won a spot on
the general election ballot, out trot the
Philadelphia lawyers to say that they’ll
“invalidate” the election.
It’s obvious that the pathetic corps of
third floor ASUO bureaucrats is
threatened by the MarshaU-Fitzpatrick
campaign pledge to immediately end the
playpen student government and clean out
all the dead waste in the ASUO.
I, for one, want to see a decent, fair
player like Doug Marshall get his deserved
place on the ballot. This cheap Wyatt
Loveys maneuvering is an effort to rob all
students of impartiality in running the
election. If this rubbish is allowed to
prevail, then student government at this
University will have become a certified
travesty and therefore should cease to
exist.

Bill Davis is a very capable individual
who can promise to bring new vigor to the
office of ASUO Junior Class President.
Class officers have not adequately per
formed or produced viable programs for
students in the past few years.
Bill Davis wants to change all of this by
working more closely with all class of
ficers to provide programs of interest to a
wider portion of the student body.
Besides the Parent’s Weekend program
Bill would also like the office of Class
President to work with such ASUO
agencies as the Cultural Forum to assist in
assuring a wide selection of activities to
the entire campus community.
This is not to say that Bill will neglect
community and social programs utilizing
student involvement to better serve the
general community.
As Bill so aptly put it, “Let’s cut the dead
wood out of class offices.”
I enthusiastically encourage all
sophomores to vote for Bill Davis for
Junior Class President.

For Marshall-Fitzpatrick
As one who feels that the current people
in the ASUO need to be voted out, I regard
Doug Marshall and Cathy Fitzpatrick as a
sound change from this year’s sick
spectacle of student juvenility. Certainly
Marshal] and Fitzpatrick offer a clear
change from the third floor stagnation
currently exemplified by the Leo-Barnett
political machine and its direct association
with the Third Floor bureaucrats.
Marshall and Fitzpatrick offer some
solid plans for student 50 per cent co
governance; they have a strong pledge to
compel the UO Administration to address
the real needs of this campus’ minority
students. They will clear the dead wood out ‘
of the ASUO third floor, and they will trim
excess fat from any unnecessary program
services. I find their ideas about
developing such student businesses as a
co-op grocery store to be particularly
revealing as to how Marshall and Fitz
patrick would serve students.
If you wish to have real — not fake —
change of student government, please vote
for Doug Marshall and Cathy Fitzpatrick.

For Marshall-Fitzpatrick
Looking over the last ten ASUO elec
tions, two Presidents have been charged
with election law violations: John Luvaas
(64-65) and Kip Morgan (69-70). President
Luvaas was charged with three violations
of posting campaign materials in
unauthorized places and acquitted on
election night. The campaign manager for
Luvaas’s opponent filed charges with the
ASUO Senate which stopped Luvaas from
taking office for two weeks. These charges
were dropped in the interest of justice and
disgruntled office seekers united with the
elected leader to aid in the progress of
Student Government.
The most interesting case was Kip
Morgan’s hard fought and very close race
in 1969. Several days after the victory, two
law students sought to overturn it with a
series of nineteen charges: twelve for
campaign finances, four campaign poster
locations and three for campaigning
election day. After the longest trial in
ASUO history, sixteen charges were
dismissed or dropped and the three
remaining charges were termed “not
serious.” Kip Morgan was able to gain his
deserved victory because the elections
court understood the basic concept of
Justice, i.e. while there were technical
violations of the rules, the unity of the
Student Community is of overriding im
portance.
On Wednesday and Thursday students
will be faced with a choice between two
strains of political thought; on one hand
Greg Leo and Debbie Barnett —
reasonable, moderate but with only a
vague understanding of the political
realities now confronting students. The
next President will face the most poten
tially powerful voting area in Oregon but
its potential is now restricted by the out
moded ASUO political form. He, with other
student leaders, will be responsible for
shaping a new form of government to meet
the needs of 1973. Through their collective
efforts this new form could become a
model for others but if the present
structure is continued for another year it
will die of benign neglect.
The only people who can unify the
Student Community and make the changes
necessary to insure real governance are
DOUGLAS MARSHALL AND CATHY
FITZPATRICK.

For Leo-Barnett
Well, after all the hassle, roadblocks and
general confusion which was thrown in
their faces, once again the Leo-Barnett
ticket have managed to survive these
obstacles. Though I truly consider the idea
of doing the primaries over again, as an
attempt of the present ASUO government
to block the entry of a minority ticket
getting a chance at the ASUO openings, it
is good to see that the Leo-Barnett ticket is
still the choice of the students.
Having known Greg Leo for five years
and Debbie Barnett for two, I have seen
these two people in action. And together,
they could only benefit the University as
an institution and the general student
body.
It is hoped by this person, that students
will carefully study the platforms of the
Leo-Barnett ticket and the Marshall
Fitzpatrick ticket and then make a wise
choice in the final election. As for me, I
consider the Leo-Barnett ticket the best
choice.

For Marshall-Fitzpa trick
Since first enrolling at the University in
1964, ithas been our effort, as a student, an
officer of the associated students, and a
citizen of Eugene, to support the co
governance of the University within the
development of an enlightened com
munity. I believe that Doug Marshall and
Cathy Fitzpatrick best embody the
maturity and experience to administer the
proper relationship between students,
administration and citizens.

For Leo-Barnett
When Leo and Barnett decided to run for
ASUO I became very worried, for I am all
too familiar with the petty sandbox politics
of ASUO 3rd floor politicians and was not
sure that Leo and Barnett would tolerate
these absurdities. Recently however, I
have seen Leo-Barnett confront the
greatest of opposition and come through
with flying colors; very diplomatic, direct
and honest in their approach.
I now have no reservations whatsoever
about Leo-Bamett, and between the two
general election tickets there is no
question regarding who would run the
equitable, efficient executive — LEO
15 ARNETT. Leo and Barnett have made no
political deals, they remain completely
receptive to new ideas and diverse
opinions, and they have had the experience
of dealing with both students and ad
ministrators.
Greg and Debbie have the commitment
of putting the ASUO back into its proper
perspective: i.e., putting emphasis on
ASUO programs and its services to the U
of O students.
Leo and Barnett are running a clean
student oriented campaign, utilizing
students and their interests as key issues.
This last primary clearly indicates that
many students were most impressed with
Leo-Bamett and cannot be swayed by
massive machine politics displayed by
some of the candidates. Integrity tran
scends phony politics and students are
smart enough to recognize the difference.
Marshall’s campaign includes
professional non-student campaign
organizers from recent U.S. Senate and
city council elections. They spent almost
$200 in the first primary in contrast to Leo
Bamett’s $20.
I firmly believe that confrontation
politics went out with the tide. What we so
desperately need is an ASUO executive
who can work responsibly and rationally
with people, not against them. I urge all
students to look into the candidates and
decide for yourself. Please remember to
vote next Monday and Tuesday; let’s not
allow this to become a Dewey-Truman
election.

Against Marshall
Fellow students take heed! Do not be
deceived. Things are not always as they
seem. Consider this fact:
Seven years ago as a senior at Catlin
Gabel High School in Portland, ASUO
presidential candidate Douglas Marshall
did mash an ice cream bar into the face of
a helpless lowerclassman. Harmless
hazing they called it.
And today seven years later, the names
have changed but the characters remain
the same. But this time you, my fellow
students, are the victim. And there is
much more than an ice cream bar at stake
now. Be forewarned my fellow students!
Should you elect this man, you may sud
denly find the ASUO looking more like a
wild brawl at Farrell’s. And standing right
in the middle, good humor man Doug
Marshall with a shovel slinging sasparilla
at your face!
Now I ask you, my fellow students: Is
this the man you desire as your leader end
representative? When you go to the polk to
order your ASUO delight, I hope you will
say, “No nuts, please.’.’
Bertram Paul

Against Bill Davis
Before Bill Davis decided to run for
Junior Class President be should have
informed himself about the incumbent
Sophomore President’s record. Bill seems
to base his campaign on the ousting of a
“deadwood” president. In the case of
many class presidents this may be true,
but his opponent, Jim Davis, has proved
himself to be an energetic president and
initiated many novel and charitable ac
tivities. If we have a good thing going we
should keep it.
Bill Davis’ platform offers no specific
proposals, only the same old rhetoric
we’ve heard over and over since class
governments were initiated.
I can not vote for a man with only vague
promises and no consideration of realistic
student and community service
