(Continued from Page 6) Vote for candidates supporting the UFW boycott of the EMU. Take student control back for the students. Wendy Young DeYoung-IFC In order to raise the question of the validity of the IFC, I included my name with the list of candidates for that organization. Before we renewed a system which has become the center of so much controversy, I felt we should examine that system. The argument which has been raised most often in support of the IFC is that the apathy of the student body necessitates a body which would make crucial financial decisions for it. The argument continues that the IFC provides support for student programs which are good for the students but which the student would not sup port. This "big brother" philosophy is highly inconsistent with my belief that students be responsible for the content and direction of their education. If there are programs which contribute to the quality of the student's education it is the program's responsibility to educate the student so that he will support that program. The design and implementation of this type of system will require some research. This does not, however, detract from its validity. Paul De Young graduate, education Almoneef-IFC A strong new IFC is needed, an IFC which protects the students' interests against the administration's policies, opposing the discrimination perpetuated against Third World people and the other groups. A new IFC is needed, believing in justice and equality so all the different students' groups will have the right to be funded regardless of any social or political belief. A new IFC is urgently needed to assure students' control over their own money, an IFC to keep the in cidental fees low, and to have a new fair contract with the AD. It is within this kind of IFC that I will be willing to work. Majid AJmoneef graduate, economics Anderson-IFC I strongly support the boycott of the EMU food service, and will urge the university to bring a quick and total halt to the purchase of non-United Farm Worker Union produce. The annual giveaway to the athletic department rolls on once again. The purpose of this school is not to satisfy the alumni by spending ridiculous sums of money trying to send professional athletes (professional by definition: they get paid) to the Rose Bowl. Norv Ritchey may think so, but Norv Ritchey doesn't dish out hundreds of thousands of dollars in incidental fees. We do. The University Feminists organization is getting damned shoddy treatment from this school. They receive about $2,000 this year. The University Men's Club (athletic department) receives $150,000. The Feminists subsidy needs to go way up, and the athletic depart ment's way down. I support the Feminists, and see a more valid need for their existance than I see for the athletic department. I support the Gay Peoples Alliance, and feel they were ripped off last year. Sexual orientation as a societal barrier is as mindlessly devastating as racism and sexism, all of which there are ample amounts on campus. The Black Student Union and The Black Graduate Student Council need to remain strong and seperate. Foreign students are being ignored, and minority student unions need more money. I support minority and third-world efforts to get their fair share. James E. Anderson sophomore, pre-journalism Donley-IFC If elected to the IFC I will make every effort to schedule public hearings frequently and make all budget in formation accessible to learn your thoughts and priorities. This is my third year at the University and each year it seems the students are getting less and less for their money. It's time we took a hard line toward the athletic department and got more student seats and program that's student oriented and not only for the coaches and the alumni. I will work for and support the televising of all home basketball games to University living organizations. I will work to establish a guideline system which will set down standard criteria a program must meet to be funded by the ASUO. I favor the use of the contract basis for allocating funds and tight supervision of funds to regulate the use of your money. I support major service programs such as SEARCH, ESCAPE, student unions, legal aid, taxtable, and the day care center. I support the increased funding of womens athletics. It's time the average student got his money's worth from the Incidental Fee and I will work hard to reach that goal. I have studied the budget and the workings of the IFC, extensively. I have the knowlege and can do the job. Vote Dave Donley for IFC. Dave Donley Sarhan-IFC It is apparent that there exists a multitude of active student groups functioning under the jurisdiction of the University administration. Through my work with the Organization of Arab Students (OAS) and the Third World Student Coalition (TWSC), I have gained some relevant experiences, Throughtout the course of the past year, we (i.e. TWSC) had to encounter the Incidental Fee Committee on several occassions. My interpretation of the attitude of the IFC members in regard to the allocation of funds, was that the IFC was not making its decision independently but rather expressing the wishes of the administration. I believe that since the IFC members are elected by the students, it is imperative that the IFC act on behalf of its client the students. I firmly support the following issues: (1) the United Farm Workers struggle, (2! student control of IFC, (3) support of minority groups, (4) I oppose the raising of incidental fees. Vote for those who support the UFW. Mohammed A. Sarhan junior, computer science Saso-IFC My name is Jean Saso and I am twenty years old. I am running for election to the Incidental Fees Committee as a member of University Feminists. It will be my goal to see that monies are sufficiently appropriated to all campus organizations which are fighting to rid the University of sexism and racism. It is especially my purpose to help build University Feminists into a strong, political group at the University of Oregon. I support the struggles of all oppressed minorties and women to be heard and treated as human beings. Therefore, I will vote to spend incidental fee money in their interests and in the interests of the student body at large. I strongly support the food boycott of the EMU and will do everything I can to get scab lettuce out of the cafeteria. In Portland, I was active in the United Farm Workers boycott-strike committee and participated in the Safeway picket lines. I attended Portland Community College for two years and helped to build the Women's Union on the Sylvania campus. I was also active in the Portland women's movement and was a member of the Portland Feminist Co-Ordinating Council. Jean Saso junior, journalism Walker-IFC My name is Kenneth R. Walker, I'm 23 years old, and a junior at the University of Oregon. I am a transfer student from Lane Community College, where I was elected as vice-president of the Associated Students two years in a row. At the 26th National Student Congress of the National Student Association, I was elected as the vice- president. I served in this capacity for one year. One of the primary concerns of this position was to be a national spokesperson for student interests. This included testifying before congressional committees as they af fected higher education, lobbying, managing the national budget, hiring a permanent professional staff of 15 people and speaking at university, state and community colleges across the country. I believe that my experience qualifies me to be an im portant integral part of the ASUO is the distribution and allocation of student monies. During these times of in flation and recession, it is imperative that competent people manage the disbursement of ASUO funds. I would like to share my experience with the students of the University. Ken Walker junior Arkley-IFC I feel qualified to allocate student incidental fee money, and act with the interests of the students in mind. We should continue our allocation of funds to such worthwhile programs as OSPIRG and ESCAPE, as I believe they are beneficial to all students. The IFC should reexamine the allocation of money to various groups. Too few people have been getting too much money. For example, we can not afford to cater to the needs of such special interest groups, such as the Gay People's Alliance. Any student organization asking for money must justify their demands for the g^od of the entire student body. Due to a lack of space, many students cannot attend basketball games. Every student should have the right t attend a game if he so desires, as we all pay part of ou incidental fee to the athletic department. Thus, it is imperative that we begin work on a new all-purpose sports arena. Perhaps we then could not only see all the basketball games, but the concerts we've been deprived of viewing for the last two years could return. Rob Artdey accounting SimmoD$-IFC Experience, credibility and honesty, for students, by students. Experience: Candidate District 43 Representative, State Lobbyist LCC Vets Club, Vice President LCC Student Body, Chairman LCC Student Budget Committee, Treasurer LCC Student Body, Organizer President LCC Vets Club, Student Rights Co-ordinator, OSPIRG Member (LCC). Platform: Credibility and honesty in budget process. More money for student orientated programs, projects, clubs, organizations, societies, etc. Money spent for students, by students. Immediate re-assessment of student fees used to support existing Athletic program. A progressive change, from just spending money, to an accent on making money too. If you feel the way I do — please help? Call me: 689 5458. Persoonal Data: I am 29 years old, father of two girls. I am a student of Public Affairs school with 135 credits complete, with a GPA of 2.8. I have ample time and want to serve. Dave Simmons senior, CSPA Johnston-IFC Many students don't know that 23 dollars of their tuition each term is used to fund various programs here at the University. The money, over one million dollars this year, is allocated to the programs by the Incidental Fee Committee. As a member of the IFC, I will use three criteria in determining the amount of funding a program will receive. First, the programs that benefit the most students will receive the most money. This does not mean, however, that small programs won't receive money. Second, I will look at the way a program functioned on the money it received last year. If the program has shown that it can't handle money properly, then it will receive less money this year. On the other hand, if the program does handle it's money effectively, and it shows a need for more money, then it will receive more money. Once all the programs realize this, they will learn to function more effectively to receive more money and to keep from getting cut back. . My third criteria is the most important one because it involves you. I will listen to what you have to say about the programs and vote the way you want me to, and I will always be available to listen to any comments or suggestions you may have. Use your vote wisely and I will use your money wisely. Mike Johnston soph, economics Farrell-IFC Why should I vote to elect Farrell to the Incidental Fee Committee? Because Farrell wants to put students First. First in allocation of seating at athletic events. I have developed a specific proposal that would help maximize student attendance at basketball games — without a lottery! Four thousand seats are now reserved for students at Oregon basketball games. I have a better plan which would give 10,000 students a chance to purchase reserved seats. At Fall registration 10,000 randomly selected students would receive a computer card entitling them to purchase 1 season ticket. (1) 5000 green card holders entitled to purchase a season ticket (% basketball home games). (2) 5000 yellow card holders entitled to purchase season ticket (% basketball home games). (3) Assignment of games would be fair and equitable. Example: green card — four conference games, three non-conference games. Yellow card — four conference games, three non-conference. (4) At the close of registration, all unsold student tickets up for sale to uncarded students for three days, first come, first served basis. (5) All remaining tickets for sale to general public. (6) Green and yellow computer cards are not tran sferable from student to student; tickets are transferable. IFC should commission a special study on feasibility of acquiring a larger sports facility. Findings of this study to be presented to University and Athletic Planning Committees. For students first vote Farrell first. Kevin Farrell junior, CSPA Bonner-IFC This year the first order of business for the new IFC, under my leadership will be the establishment of a fair, efficient, distribution system for student Athletic Tickets. The second order of business will be for the IFC to obtain an increase in Student Athletic Tickets. (Continued on Page8)
