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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
