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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
