ASUO drafts changes
Aiming at clarification of constitutional am
biguities ASUO president Jim Bernau has drafted a
list of proposed amendments to the ASUO Con
stitutions.
The proposed amendments designed to more
closely define the duties and jurisdiction of various
ASUO governmental bodies will be icluded on the
Nov. 4-5 ballot.
One primary target of the proposed amendments
is to clarify the functions of the Incidental Fee
Committee (IFC). An amendment to section 2.2 of
the constitution will call for reducing the number of
IFC members from seven to five. Other amendments
will require the IFC to set conditions for release when
allocating reserve accounts for agencies and to
allocate all but 1.5 per cent of incidental fee monies
to the ASUO budget.
In a move to appease the state Legislature and the
students, Bernau proposes the setting of a 7 per cent
limit on ASUO budget growth each year. Total
budget growth over past years has been 12 per cent
annually.
According to the ASUO president, this latter
amendment is a much-needed anti-inflationary
move.
"It's important for the students to try to save
money in order for the state Legislature to remain
open minded about appropriating tax money to
us," said Bernau. "If adopted, this amendment will
not only save the students' money by keeping their
fees down, but will impress the state."
Other proposed amendments include:
DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENT
4.2 — The ASUO President shall nominate to the President of the
University, with majority approval of the Student University Affairs
Board, members of the student faculty committees, appoint mem
bers to executive, administrative and ASUO student committees, and
make all other appointments to positions she or he deems necessary.
Section 4.2 formerly gave the ASUO president full nominative
power in the appointments of members of the student faculty com
mittees and executive, administrative and ASUO student com
mittees.
4.5 The President shall hold veto powers over any or all of the
allocations of the Incidental Fee Committee in their original budget
allocations and over subsequent allocations from unallocated
reserves where such accounts are not broken down by program in the
ASUO budget and surplus funds from carry-over and over realized
enrollment.
Section 4.5 formerly did not allow the president veto power over
IFC allocations of surplus funds from carry-over and over-realized
enrollment.
THE INCIDENTAL FEE COMMITTEE
6.9 The committee shall, in the event that the ASUO president
fails to meet ASUO budget recommendation deadlines, following
consent of the Constitutional Committee, be responsible for
preparing the ASUO budget and submitting it to the University
president.
THE CONSTITUTION COMMITTEE
9.6 The Constitution Committee shall interpret and adjudicate
cases relating to replacement by non fulfillment of duties.
ELECTIONS
10.11 The ASUO vice-president must call a special budget election
if presented with signatures of not less than 10 per cent of the student
body gathered within a one month period from the date of initiation.
The ASUO vice-president should furnish to persons desiring the
special election an adequate number of ASUO petition forms.
REPLACEMENT
11.4 Non fulfillmentof duties for three weeks will be considered a
vacancy of any office elected under this Constitution.
LCC food director
contracts hepatitis
Hepatitis showed its jaundiced eye in Lane County when Lane
Community College Food Services Director Ken Brownell contracted a
case Sunday. Brownell prepared food for the LCC Board of Education
executive session meeting Oct. 8, and may have infected the food
served.
Type A hepatitis is contagious for about two weeks before the victim
will show any symptoms. It usually takes longer for Type B hepatitis
symptoms to show. Brownell became ill Sunday. Results of a blood test
will be made known today.
"It is not our intent to close the food service facility at this time," said
Dr. David White, Lane County Health Officer. "I am familiar with the
facility and do not think the equipment could possibly transmit
hepatitis, as in the case of Crater Lake earlier this year. In this case,
when you remove the infected person, you remove the danger."
Jeannette Bobst, communicable disease coordinator for Lane
County, has been assigned to the case and will trace Brownell's ac
tivities for the last two weeks and follow up any possible leads.
It's in Klamath, too
KLAMATH FALLS (AP) - Dr.
Steven Engtender, a disease
specialist with the Health Division,
and Klamath County Health
Department officials are studying
reports of 43 cases of Type A
hepatitis in the county since Jan.
1.
Englender said water samples
have been taken and studied, but
no conclusions have been
reached. However, he said there is
no evidence to link the cases with
any other outbreaks of hepatitis in
the state.
Dolores Keck, supervisor of
community health nursing for the
county, said, "Since June we
have had about 28 cases of
hepatitis in Klamath County, and
this higher than the state
average."

Fight over woman's life goes to trial
MORRISTOWN, N.J. (AP) - Karen Ann Quinlan's
doctor Robert Morse testified Monday that the
comatose young woman "reacts to light, sound and
pain" and he would refuse to disconnect a respirator
that has kept her breathing for the past six months.
Twenty-one year old Quinlan has been in a coma in
St. Clare's Hospital since April, when she apparently
ingested by accident a combination of alcohol and
tranquilizers.
Because Quinlan is comatose and therefore
mentally incompetent, the court is being asked to let
her adoptive father Joseph Quinlan make a decision
for her to remove the respirator based on his
knowledge of her wishes.
A hard day at the ticket lottery
By GREG CLARK
Of the Emerald
Not everyone was smiling after
Monday's athletic pass ticket
lottery.
Least of all Suzanne Klupenger.
The ASUO receptionist was
bombarded with phone calls,
personal requests and complaints
after numbers were posted

Today's jL

♦WHITMORE j
outside the student government
offices and students began
pouring over results.
The result was mass confusion.
"I received at least 500 requests
during the day," Klupenger said,
"and probably 200 more on the
phone. That's not exaggerating.
It's just been a terrible mess."
Most of the calls questioned
lottery procedure. Many people
wanted to know if the pass was
transferable,” she said.
While present ASUO guidelines
forbid the transfer of the passes,
some students tried to improve on
ill luck after missing out in the
lottery. An impromptu sign-up
sheet emerged near the posted
numbers offering winners a
chance to sell passes.
Not all questions dealt with
lottery policy, however.
"I had quite a few call in a sick
voice and say they hadn't been
out for days," Klupenger said.
"They wanted me to go out and
check the list for them. I just told
them I couldn't."
Several students who had ap
parently signed up for the lottery
weren't listed in the results, due
to misprints or other slip-ups,
Klupenger said. The ASUO was
still checking up on a half dozen
names lost somewhere between
the sign-ups and the drawing.
Students with numbers between
4,000 and 5,000 will have a chance
later in the week to pick up passes
not purchased by lottery winners,
according to ASUO officials.
Plans call for passes to go to
students with numbers closest to
4,000.
All of which means more work
for the ASUO — and Suzanne
Klupenger.
