( Continued from Page 7) Current IFC members have not taken the necessary steps to learn first hand knowledge of ASUO programs. Consequently, they have made budget cuts that were not well-informed decisions. I will attend all meetings of the directors council and speak individually with program directors to hear suggestions from them. I will allow all programs plenty of opportunity to appeal decisions. I have carefully compiled a list of ASUO programs that do not generate enough student involvement to justify their existence: Journalism Student Union ($150), Gerontology Assn. (110), Graduate Student Council (1,550), Chinese Student Assn. (1,945), Man & the Oregon Coast (400), MEChA (5,682), Oregon Prisoners Coalition (1,293), Health, P.E. and Recreation Student Advisory (130), University Feminists (2,152), Foreign Student Organization (4,399), Black Student Union (7,016), Black Graduate Student Council (1,200), Student Bar Assn. (5,796),'Asian-American Student Union (1,670), Native American Student Union and the Gay People's Alliance. Total savings equal $33,597.37. These programs are dividing up students, and are a burden on the shoulders of students who can't par ticipate in them. On the other hand, programs with high amount of student involvement and interest such as recreational and sports activities have my support. Tom Bonner science-mathematics Aikeo-IFC I am a candidate for the Incidental Fee Committee because I believe the students and program directors deserve a fair budgeting process. To reach this goal, IFC members must be willing to do the necessary research to acquaint themselves with the programs; their goals, use of budgeted monies, functions, and efforts to increase student involvement in the program. If the budgeting process is to be fair to all students, they must be given adequate notice and opportunity to voice their opinions on proposed spending of their in cidental fees. Negotiations between the IFC and groups receiving ASUO incidental fee support must not be made in secret and certainly not by just one member of the Incidental Fee Committee! The hassle over the selling of combination athletic tickets and the whole lottery mess could well have been avoided if only the member!s) responsible had done their homework and reacted accordingly. (Reports on file with the current IFC include several proposed methods for the sale and distribution of athletic tickets recommended by the Executive Ad Hoc Athletic Committee last spring. These recommendations were, for the most, ignored.) It is time to elect a new Incidental Fee Committee. I hope you will consider me before you vote. Jane Aiken senior, political science Leasure-IFC I Roger Leasure, want to help make this University a better place for all students thus I ask for your support in my bid for election to the Incidental Fees Committee. I strongly believe that this should be a committee that is deeply dedicated to the full range of all students in terests. Not a self serving committee but a student serving committee. My past experience — set up guidelines for, was the Chairperson of LCC's Judiciary Committee, also acting Chairperson of the Budget Committee and Acting Business Manager in LCC's student government. I was also elected to the position of Senator-at-large. I was the students government's Second Vice President at LCC and 1st Vice President at different times naturally. Director Board of Tellers, Chairman Election Commission, state rep. from LCC to OSPIRG's State Baord. I ran for State Senate Dist. 20, this spring but with drew to support Bill Garrett, a former University Graduate. I have been the Student Body President at LCC, served of the Academic Counsel, Curriculum Committee and was Director of Student Activities for Chemeketa Community College, Linn-Benton and LCC. Throughout these many extra curricula activities I have maintained an A-Average, so I believe I have the ability and ample experience and dedication to make an active reality out of my vision that you the students have a responsive and viable Incidental Fee Committee. I have the time, and the will, I appeal to you the students to give me the opportunity to use this position on your behalf. Roger Leasure junior, psychology Wolf-Frosh Pres. For myself and most of the freshmen, the college ;s new, the atmosphere different, and opportunities that ire immense. One opportunity open to me is becoming involved in student government. In order to do so I need your Pane 8 support. I seek the position of class president because ot its flexibility and responsibility. I have been involved in school, local and state government. I have participated in Boys State and Youth Legislature. With this experience and more, hopefully I can meet and be responsive to your needs Some of my beliefs are as follows: I believe: — Active college participation must be present in city government. — that alcohol should be legalized in the dorms with restrictions like those of OSU or SOC. — that the opportunity to expand ones mind through an education must not be discriminatory. — in all new and innovative programs that widen University opportunities. Perhaps these beliefs are too idealistic, but the real solution lies in the approach to these and any other problems that may arise. I can offer you a new approach and no promises save that of working towards solutions with your real interests uppermost in my mind Mark Woff Reeves-Frosh Pres. As a candidate for freshman class president, I would like to see more students getting involved in University and community projects. I would like more freshmen students to be aware of what we can do for the University, and what the University can do for us. I believe we have the potential to fill positions on student and University boards, and we can accomplish more for our class. In closing, I would also plan to have more activities for people in dorms and commuters, such as dances, parties, and other functions. Begin your in volvement now, go out and vote! Michael Reeves freshman Johnson-Frosh Pres. I am baby duck Jane Johnson and I want to be a President. I have weak eyes. In the rainy season, I have webbed feet. I would be rejected from military service. I have a great yearning to be a big quack. When I complete my next four years of study I will be well on my way to being half-quacked. My primary purpose in attending the U. of 0. is to achieve a B.S. degree in Biology. From there I hope to be accepted into the Medical School in Portland. Why am I, a freshperson, contending for an office such as that of president of the freshman class? Harry Emerson Fosdick once remarked, "Democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people." I want to be honest with you. I don't want to minimize the uncertainties that infest us. I do want to raise in your minds a single hope that will be doomed to die unfulfilled. Ideally, unity without losing personal identity is what the freshman class and every class should have. Just as our aims may be set for this unity, good representation must be a leading force. I have the same anxieties that you have felt and would feel if the skies were cloudless. What, then, shall I say? I feel a full sense of responsibility and I beg you to let me achieve my role in the democracy of this University. I have just begun to quack! Jane Johnson freshman, pre-med Trabueeo-Frosh Pres. As freshmen, we live in a world that can be “im personal" at times. The transitions experienced create scenes of confusion and challenge, making available time to involve one's self in extra curricular activities scarce. Yet one should stop, however, to weigh the merits such involvement could bring. The sharing of ideas and concerns makes for practical experience while providing at the same time a necessary basis for an effective organization. It is my hope to organize a program effective in con sidering any and all ideas (or complaints) that you as I freshmen might have. Being open as it would be, this program could prove factorial in dimming the air of impersonahsm we face daily Your thoughts could be channeled more directly to the ASUO office, without hinderance of excessive amounts of red tape. Other programs, instigated by the senior class, are in need of underclassmen support, and they range from general entertainment to the dance marathon held an nually to combat heart disease. Granted, the realms of responsibility have been limited in the past, but a wide variety of projects could be pursued if the manpower were available. I will sacrifice as much of my time as possible to give the office of freshman class president new dimensions - to show others we are capable of functioning as a class in a way virtuous to the needs of our environment. I will greatly appreciate your support in achieving these goals. Chester Trabucco freshman Heitz-Frosh Pres. As a candidate for freshman class president. I take this opportunity to make known my campaign issues and platform ideas. Anyone interested in my background in politics, and with student organizations can read more on that sub|ect in my campaign literature. Most importantly is the fact that the freshman class as a whole, should be exposed to the candidates and their ideas. Therefore I ask my honorable opponents to meet with me in public debate to discuss the issues and seek questions from the freshman class who would be our constituents. This could take place in the early evening hours and at a suitable location so that as many freshmen as are interested can attend I seek a better communication and social system for all freshmen in dorms, frats and sororities. I would take two actions to accomplish this. One, to have a monthly meeting for all freshmen presidents and social chairmen of the above mentioned rooming locations. Two, a monthly newsletter to bring news and information to all freshmen concerning social and scholastic events that interest them. I would also establish an office hour schedule in order to meet with any freshman that may have an idea, suggestion, opinion or problem My room is 205 Boynton and it is currently open to anyone wanting to rap about dorm and college life Read the letters, campaign literature, and information that each candidate distrubites and then make your decision about who is best qualified to serve as your president. In this day of Watergate and political foulplay, any campaign promises may sound antiquated. But if elected as your president, I do promise to serve faithfully and with the best interests of every freshman in mind. Rick Heit/ freshman, journalism Hudd-Frosh VP For the ASUO to benefit everyone it ts essential that every group of students be properly represented As a candidate for freshman class vice president, I believe the new blood' has many fresh ideas to contribute to the ASUO. It is mandatory, therefore, that the freshman elect officers that will make known their ideas. If elected, the causes of the freshman class will be voiced by me to the ASUO. Freshman have the precious gift of time — let's not waste it. We have at least four good years ahead to initiate programs and change policies, as we see fit. Early in volvement awards the chance to see the fruits of our labors. As freshman class vice-president the causes and direction of the freshman class will be the criteria of my decisions and actions. Your vote is important to me However, just as important is the fact that you vote — it is you right, and your duty — exercise it; it means the difference.
