Balfe has goals in focus
He wants to change pattern of ASUO leadership
By Cort Fernald
Of Itw Emerald
It wasn't so long ago when
C.J. Balfe, a freshman psy
chology major, decided
someday he'd run for ASUO
president. It was a long-term
goal Balfe never lost sight of
And last year Balfe realized his
goal by narrowly defeating
Kevin Kouns to become ASUO
president 1982-83
Just as Balfe Jiad his goal for
the office in sight, he has the
goals of his administration
clearly in focus
His first goal — to change the
pattern of ASUO presidential
leadership — is close to realiza
tion.
"I've set my first goal which
was to develop the highest point
of the administration in more of
a coordinating role than any
thing else," Balfe says
One of Balfe's otljer goals is
to make higher education more
well thought of by the state's
legislators According to Balfe,
the Legislature doesn’t think too
highly of higher education
Another goal of his adminis
tration Balfe says "is to pull in all
the different student groups,
ASUO-funded organizations,
programs, and all student-ser
vice groups, honorary and so
forth. Pull them in and build a
cohesive group, and generate
ideas and projects and things to
do so that all those student
groups can go in one direc
tion."
Balfe wants to incorporate
University students into ASUO
on a volunteer basis He con
siders the ASUO office as a
place for students to get in
volved in on- and off-campus
activities
Balfe looks with pride at an
increase in the overall number
of students now involved in
ASUO There were 24 members
in ASUO in 1981-82 , but so far
this summer, 32 people have
been devoting their time and
energy to ASUO projects
Still, Balfe says more students
are needed to help ASUO in its
voter registration drive and
support of lobbying efforts in
the Legislature
Balfe is excited about two
"big” projects upcoming.
On Sept 24 the Oregon
Student Lobby and the ASUO
Legislative will convene a con
ference at the University Three
representatives from every
school in the state system will
be on campus to participate in
panel discussions on topics

Balfe has strong words for administrators who interfere with his
office
such as Higher Education’s
view of the Legislature, The
OSL, Lobbying and Voter
Registration Some of the state
legislators scheduled to speak
include Rep Margie Hendriksen
and Sen. Ed Fadeley.
Balfe is intent on organizing a
solid group at the University to
participate in OSL activities
“We are trying to build a real
tight circle, network, commun
ication network that can help us
when we need to work through
the OSL seeing as how it's a
legislative year,” Balfe says
The Street Faire, scheduled
for three days during Registra
tion Week, has become an ex
panded affair thanks to Balfe
and his staff.
"Last year I helped out the
Street Faire and seemed like it
was really underrealized for
what the potential could be I
mean it came at the perfect time
of year — perfect weather — the
perfect amount of people here
— the people that you know
walking up and down campus —
and all we were doing was
selling them things We weren't
really utilizing it (the Street
Faire)."
So Balfe and his staff "brain
stormed " They came up with
ideas to expand the Street Faire,
incorporating a Jazz Festival
and including KWAX
The Street Faire will also
become the central event of
Registration Week ASUO will
be "appropriating all the differ
ent programs rather than
have a separate fair," Balfe
says
“We will be working with
student services’ Orientation
Office They're going to put
together a Cultural Fair," Balfe
says That Cultural Fair will be at
the same time as the Street
Faire Together, Balfe says it will
make for a more memorable
event
"It should look really good for
incoming freshmen and their
parents — a lot of things going
on a once," he says
The relationship between
ASUO and the University ad
ministration has always been a
ticklish one Balfe though is
confident that he will be able to
avert any attempts by the ad
ministration to influence his of
fice, while at the same time us
ing the administration to as a
resource to strengthen the
students role in the University.
However, he has strong
words for administrators who
interfere with his office.
"We're not there to be lack
eys of the administration or the
faculty Faculty and administra
tors are not welcome to come in
and make any policy statements
concerning students or any
thing else They're not welcome
to and they don't
But Balfe doesn't view the
administration as an enemy,
something he says past pre
sidents did
"There are some administra
tors — hey, they are student
advocates all the way down the
line," Balfe says
