New vice presidents
appointed for ASUO
By SALLY HODGKINSON
Of the Emerald
ASUO Pres.-elect Scott Bassett
named Mylene Simons and Annette
Selmer to complete his team of vice
presidents last week.
"I can only say good things about both
of them." he says, adding that
experience was a key factor in hiring
Simons and Selmer
Simons will serve as the ASUO vice
president in charge of state and Univer
sity affairs, an area that Simons and
Bassett say the ASUO will concentrate
on during the next few months
What happens at the Legislature in
the next two months will influence us for
two years," Bassett says
Simons agrees, adding that her
current work as an intern at the state
Legislature has made her familiar with
legislative process and student-related
bills
Simons says student involvement at
the Legislature may be hard to drum up.
"Since it's near the end of the term, it
may be hard to get students involved."
she says "But I hope that students will
be able to write letters or call their
legislators .*'
Especially important is a hearing on
HB 2831, a bill that mandates release of
faculty evaluation results, says Simons,
adding that the Senate Education Com
mittee will hold a hearing on the bill in
about two weeks
The decisions the Legislature makes
on student-related bills and
appropriations will also affect her job,
says Simons For example, if HB 2831
fails, the ASUO will be involved in
another campus effort to release
evaluation results. If it passes Simons
says she will help organize the system
for release.
Simons says she plans to stay in close
contact with the Oregon Student Lobby
and the Legislature after this session is
over.
"There’s a lot that goes on during the
interim." she says.
Simons says she is interested in the
OSL, adding that the lobby has suffered
this year because of staff turnover.
"But it has a lot of potential," she says.
"I'd like to see students aware of that
potential."
Simons also plans to help Bassett with
freshman orientation and will work with
the Student University Affairs Board
on University issues
Selmer will serve as the vice president
in charge of programs and community
affairs, an area she says has a lot of po
tential
Selmer says she plans to be an ad
vocate and resource person for ASUO
programs and help with program
development
"ASUO is there for the programs." she
says "The programs are not there for
the ASUO "
Selmer says she would like the
programs to become more accessible to
students and more interdependent on
each other
Selmer was an administrative assistant
for programs and community affairs this
year "I saw what changes could be
made This is an opportunity to try and
make those changes "

Coalition Opposed to Registration and the Draft, co-sponsors of MAD Day,
estimate about 500 attended workshops and presentations during the two-day
event.
