Fitzhenry-EMUB The EMU board will not only have the authority of supervising the physical operations of the student union, but will also construct a budget for the coming year. In addition to the board's function there are about twenty organizations and student services supported by the EMU, such as the print shop and club sports which will be evaluated by the board. Because of the five student positions open for election, this board will have an ex cellent chance for incorporating student opinions into the policies governing the EMU. If elected to this board, I would see to this that this committee would be as responsive to student wishes as possible. One of the issues facing the student union is the lettuce boycott. I feel the most equitable solution to this problem would be to set out the different kinds of lettuce m seperate bowls allowing the student to freely choose the type he, or she wants. Any suggestions would of course be looked at very seriously and possibly a personal response given beck to the student on the action being taken. If you would Mte to have the student put first, I hope you wM consider me. Jim Fitthmmy sophomore, psychotofy FeMcrnjnEMCB Does anyone on this campus realty care who is elected to the EMU Board, other than the candidates? I doubt it. In fact, there may be reason to believe that even the candidates are somewhat apathetic about the election. But, there will be an election and five students will serve on the board. I hope to be one of them. At this point in time I will not attempt to dazzle you with my past record of involvement in student affairs, since there is none. Neither will I try to win your hearts and minds with predictions of greatness by the board. I will say that I feel my personal make-up is similar to many of the great leaders this country has produced. I am as arrogant as a Lyndon Johnson, as paranoid as a Richard Nixon, and as dumb as a Gerald Ford. How can you lose? Undoubtably I will be accused of not taking either the election or the board seriously enough. So be it. I think it reveals that I am in step with the rest of the student body. Anyway, I do want the position and to achieve that I will need your vote. The decision is yours, the board is yours, and it is your student union. I believe that I will serve your interest. I hope you will vote for me. Scot Felderman junior, political science Sonstein-EMUB I'm running for the EMU Board under one issue, and one issue alone. I'm tired of seeing the student union run in the interests of people other than students. In the past, and at present the union has been run in direct con tradiction to the wishes of the students of the University (Witness the non-results of the lettuce referendum last year.) If elected, my sole purpose in serving shall be to struggle around the issue of the Union being run in the interests of and in response to the wishes of the students, and none other. Jeff Sonstein junior, sociology Garner-EMUB I am running for a position on the EMU Board. It is not my intent to claim any superior knowledge about the EMU, or anything else for that matter, but this looks like a good opportunity to learn. Since the EMUB is new anyway, everyone will have a lot to learn before they can start making intelligent suggestions. I have been a student at the University for two years, this being my third. I have worked at the Office of Student Financial Aid during this time, including the last two summers, and served on the EOS Search Committee for Assistant Director and Counselor, and on the Student Financial Aid Adivsory Committee. In those respon sibilities I have experienced dealing with students, classified staff, administrators and some faculty on a day to-day, routine basis; thus I can sympathize with each one's unique problems in dealing with the bureaucracy of which no one is master. I have no particular axe to grind or cross to bear, and furthermore, I know how to listen. So when you speak, I listen, I learn, and I work. For my particular policy stance, check the Voter's Guide. Thanks for reeding. Dmn*a! Gamer sophomore, political science Bry*Bt-SUAB 1 Politics and education, though in theory disjoint and independent, actually are inextricably united. Perhaps the primary thrust of ASUO government should be political representation and influence at the state and national levels. The University is potentially a political diamond. Youth and numbers, many newly enfranchised voters, render our power fantastic. Student government has duties not only at the University echelon, but likewise at the state and national. The SUAB in its first year is the key to our future power: on the faculty senate here, and in lobbying and legislation in Salem. A 1972 Southern Oregon College graduate, my graduate studies in mathematics in New Mexico and Oregon, I'm now a first year law student. My interests consequently span not only law and politics, but also science and mathematics. Election to SUAB opens opportunity for University change and future prominence. Bob Bryant first year law Kutsky-SUAB £ I am running for SUAB representative from journalism speech because of my concern for the users (i.e. students) of the University. The campus could be responsive to the users but vestiges of an old mechanistic pattern still linger on. However, a pattern that can respond to the users does exist. It is called the Oregon Experiment. It stresses organic growth and planning through user participation. And this philosophy can be extended to, and used in, all areas affecting student life. Why not let students decide how space in and outside of buildings is used? Why not have students voting in the faculty senate? Why not have students on faculty-hiring committees, and all committees? This power can be ours if we want it. Right now I see space on campus that is ill designed and unused. Many large classes have very little student teacher interaction. Many Affirmative Action guidelines are being hedged and ignored. And I see in the distance the State Board and the Legislature. Every member there should know how we feel. In this constituency, there are many urgent concerns. Putting students on the journalism school's dean search committee; having facilities to practice what we learn; giving women, minorities and young people teaching positions are a few of these concerns. Please vote and express your views through your SUAB candidate. Diane Kutsky senior, journalism RaraUH-SrAB 3 With co-govemanse becoming a reality the SUAB wii be a powerful student voice. I heve worked on the Search and Design Committee to get SUAB started. I know its potential. I piece my emphasis on effective representation. I want to establish channels for students to share ideas with SUAB representatives. I witl work to establish a newsletter to keep all students informed. I want student evaluations of classes and professors made available to students. It will help in choosing classes. I will oppose any increase in tuition. Most students are in no position to pay higher tuition. I believe increases in expenses should be financed by the state. I want more attention placed on campus design. The new EMU addition is nice but extravagant in wasted space. Any plans for changes of the campus should be displayed for student reaction. Student interest surveys should be expanded and improved to help pinpoint student needs. ASUO costs students money, we have to be sure it's being used to its maximum potential. We need to build a stronger link between the faculty and student government. We need the power to ensure that the University's decisions are consistent with student education needs. The SUAB is where we can do this. I have high hopes for SUAB. I hope you do too. Jim Randall junior, business Kenyon-SUAB 4 We have the opportunity before us to merge ideas of students and faculty through SUAB towards the goal of an ideal university campus. We must not continue to speak in platitudes but rather express ourselves through actions. Through hard work and devotion of time the governing bodies of the University should be able to form a cohesive group sharing in the problems and achievements of the University both in the short and long run.
