For Feldman
Gary Feldman is our choice for
ASUO President. We have ob
served him in action this year and
have been quite impressed. As
IFC Chairer, Gary has displayed
admirable leadership qualities
and overall understanding of the
ASUO, student programs and the
entire University community. His
support for environmental issues
and new concepts in education
has shown us an important com
mitment.
By supporting many different
programs he has demonstrated a
wide scope of responsivity to stu
dents. Gary will stress an open
presidency thus allowing greater
participation and a flow of new
ideas. A fresh approach is
needed along with competent
administration. Gery Feldman is
the best person to fulfill these
goals. We urge you to vote Feld
man for ASUO President.

For Osborn
I can’t vote for Keli Osborn in
the election for SUAB position
#2, because I’m not in speech or
journalism. This letter is my vote
for those of you who are.
Keli and I have worked to
gether for the legislative sector of
the ASUO sirce last fall. I have
seen her skills and interest in stu
dent concerns become a genuine
sense of commitment and re
sponsibility. Keli is intelligent and
articulate. Journalism and speech
majors need her representation
on the Student University Affairs
Board.
Vote. Vote for Keli Osborn for
SUAB position #2.

I feel that it’s important to let
students know about an impor
tant election that I’m sure many
have passed without noticing.
This for the position of Media
Contact person for the Oregon
Student Public Interest Research
Group (OSPIRG). Sue Swegar
has unofficially served at this post
for the past year, volunteering her
time and energy and doing, in my
opinion, a good job.
Working with Sue at the Off
Campus Housing Office, I’m im
pressed with her conscientious
and thorough approach toward
her work. Please give Sue the

support she deserves and has
earned.

It's not true! It’s just not true!
The rumor that senior class of
fices are just status positions
doesn't have to be true. If the
Gellately-Tearnen team is
elected several things will be
done.
Working with the Career Plan
ning and Placement Center, we
will continue to make career in
formation available through
Career Faires aimed at senior in
terests. We will try to improve
University relations by working
with alumni organizations.
Through the Academic Occa
sions Committee we will trans
form graduation into an exciting,
action-packed event worth at
tending. Also, the contacts we
made over the last two years of
involvement in student and uni
versity governance will enable us
to get almost any project done.
Concerts in Autzen stadi
um.... with us anything has a
chance. We will work enthusiasti
cally and intelligently for con
stituent goals.
Sounds good, huh? But can we
deliver, eh? Well, here’s where
we say, “Look at our records.”
First Andrea:
I have been the chairer of the
SUAB for this year and was
vice-chairer last year. Through
this position I’ve learned about
not only ASUO government and
programs, but also University
governance. I’ve actively partici
pated in furthering the student in
terest on many issues — release
of teacher/course evaluation (I
sponsored the motion through the
faculty), financial aid improve
ments, and many more. Also, I’ve
served on five, count ’em, five
University committees. And was
selected as one of the 1976
Homecoming Persons.
Now Cathy:
I am the SUAB representative
for Psychology. Along with editing
the departmental newsletter, I
serve on several major depart
mental committees. As the direc
tor of the Information and Grie
vance Center I’ve been dealing
with student problems and ans
wering diverse questions about
the University for over a year. I’m
also an active member of Friends
of the Whales (any artists want to
contribute to the Survival Center
Whale Festival?).
With our variety of experience
and wealth of knowledge, we can
definitely do the best job as
Senior dass president and vice
president. Please vote on Wed
nesday and Thursday.

For Feldman
Folks, this is my letter of en
dorsement for Gary Feldman and
Jeff Warren. Feldman is of course
running for ASUO President,
Warren for IFC.
I imagine that it comes as no
surprise to most that I am endors
ing Feldman, given the nature of
his opponent. (Mr. Tyler and I
have rarely gotten along very
well.) The only thing that I can
decipher in Dave Tyler’s claim
that this year's administration has
not adequately reflected, rep
resented or advocated for the
“mainstream” of the student body
is that the 10 per cent of my ad
ministration that has not been
white (self included) and the
45-50 per cent that has been
female are somehow perceived
by Mr. Tyler as undesirable. My
question to Tyler, then, is how
would he refute a suspicion that
what he is calling for is an ASUO
administration that is racist, sexist
onH olitict9
Now actually there is more to
my endorsement of Feldman than
as a lesser of two evils. I have
worked with Gary over the last
two years and have come to think
quite highly of his competence
and his attitude concerning peo
ple. I have not always agreed with
him, yet I have always felt that
Gary worked quite hard to be
both open minded and fair in his
decision making process. What
more can I say? (It was these
qualities that probably cost him
the fraternity endorsement, but
whatever.)
As for Jeff Warren, I have seen
him in action in Faculty Senate
meetings and as a SUAB
member and was quite impre
ssed.
To tell the truth, if we get out
and vote and get Feldman
elected we are going to need a
replacement on the IFC that can
weather the madness. And if
Feldman isn’t elected, we’re
gonna need all the help we can
get.. .that’s aH, go out there and
vote for Gary Feldman and Jeff
Warren.
Jan Oliver
ASUO President
Non-endorsement
We re the two presidential
hopefuls that didn't make it from
the primaries to the general elec
tion. We re losers, but the experi
ence and the fine work done by
our supporters gives us some
thing to say.
Considering the $1.3 million
ASUO budget and the $85 we
each pay a year, students should
vote. The ASUO executive has a
lot more potential than people
think.
As students, we are an organi
zation of 16,000 adults. As such
we could generate our own jobs
and services through coopera
tives in the EMU. and have an
impact on relevant issues in the
environment and specifics like
the State Board of Higher
Education s investment in corpo
rations that have dealings with
South Afnca
Human systems, like the
ASUO. are much like ecosystems
and by getting the various parts to
cooperate, one establishes har
mony and balance. That's why
Paul spoke out on the environ
ment and Eric proposed working
cooperatives to bring students
together.
The University depends on cul
tural variety just as diversity in na
ture brings balance — homeos
tasis. Thus, change is the
stimulus for innovative adaption.
The question arises, what is
necessary to bring students to
gether? It sure wasn’t us, al
though between us there were
enough votes to win. That s a
basic lesson in progressive split
ting of the vote. Which bnnqs us
down; to the campaign, and down
it is.
The expense is too great and
Incidental Fee budget hearings
shouldn't be held at the same
time. We urge you to speak out
and vote — for us, last week.
But, who are you going to vote
for this week: Craig. Dave, or
Gary9 We ll give you three pos
ters: look at where they are com
ing from, their goals and inten
tions. and who stands to gam. So
vote your conscience
We have been approached to
make endorsements for presi
dent, so we hereby endorse
Cathy and Andrea. — So there

For Tyler
In fairness to Dave Tyler and
his campaign, and in view of the
fact that no endorsement letters
will be printed after today, the
Emerald granted Tyler the oppor
tunity to respond to the letter from
Jan Oliver that appears else
where on this page Tyler's re
sponse is the letter that follows. -
ed.
TO THE EDITOR:
What’s happened to this ASUO
election? I’m surprised I haven't
been interviewed by David Frost.
To listen to your elected student
body officers and some people at
the Emerald, I m a combination of
William F. Buckley, Gov. George
Wallace and Adolph Hitler. It’s in
teresting, isn’t it? I’m a ’racist’’
who voted to fund every minority
program and has a Native
American campaign manager
I m an "elitist whose primary
focus of the campaign is reaching
out to the vast majority of the stu
dent body currently disenfranch
ised from the student government
they paid for. I’m a "sexist” who
voted to fund the Women’s Refer
ral and Resource Center and the
Women in Science program. I
have refused to promise anyone
a job, yet I fully expect half of my
staff to be women — half the stu
dents are!
Where are the issues of this
campaign? Every advertisement
and every flyer of mine outline my
platform. I've tried to run an open
and informative campaign
What's the competition done?
I'm tired of ineffective and hypoc
ritical student government. I don't
want to see it repeated next year
Do you really feel represented
by your student government? As
ASUO President I will work to pro
tect and ennch our diverse prog
rams. But just as importantly, I
will reach out to the majonty of
the student body “left out'' now
Read the issues I'm running on
Try to find the issues of my oppo
nent. Let s end fairy-tale politics
in the ASUO I need your votes
now. and your cooperation next
year.

For Zarosinski
After spending more terms
than I care to mention witnessing
campaign pledges, promises,
and programs flung like dungbee
tles about our ears, it is indeed
refreshing and perhaps inspmng
that a candidate comes up with
no statement at aH
No platitudes, no attitudes, no
hipisms picked up from cocktail
conversations This candidate in
stead leaves to the mind of the
electorate his policy stands
This is not to say however, that
the candidate is not ' Eugene."
He s a vegetarian; he runs and he
only eats at restaurants with ' B
ratings
No slogans, no sandwich
boards, no posters, no handouts,
no shit.

For Filip
Barry Pilip, candidate for the
EMU Board, ments special con
sideration in the elections Wed
nesday and Thursday He is
amply qualified for this position;
he would bong to the Board the
experience, energy, and com
mitment to student concerns
necessary to make him a very ef
fective EMU Board member. He
possesses an excellent grasp of
the budgetary process, which is
an important prerequisite for intel
ligent decision-making involving
this 2.5 million dollar-a-year op
eration. Most importantly, Barry
Pilip will see to it that responsible
student input is solicited and
utilized in the EMU's manage
ment and policy decisions
I support the candidacy of
Barry Pilip for the EMU Board and
urge you to vote for him
