ODE board erred,
ASUO essay says
By Richard Burr
Ol the Emerald
Extending the terms of two ASUO representatives on the
Oregon Daily Emerald board of directors was illegal, accord
ing to an ASUO legal essay
The Emerald board approved extending the one-year
terms to two years last March The extension was illegal
because the board of directors of a corporation cannot
change its own bylaws, according to the essay The Emerald
is a non-profit corporation
The ASUO president, as a representative of the student
body, appoints the two board members annually to represent
that year s student body, the statement reads The board's
action deprives "the electorate of some specific academic
year of their power to make appointments," it adds
The extension was necessary for the board to make
consistent decisions, says Emerald Editor Harry Esteve The
board deals with complex business problems and the high
turnover rate of board members affects its decision-making,
he says
"We think the benefit of having consistency on the board
outweighs the considerations of the ASUO president being
able to appoint two members each year," Esteve says
"We amended the bylaws in what we thought was a legal
fashion " he adds
ASUO Pres C.J. Balfe says he ordered the legal essay
because of conflicting information he received from the
Emerald staff about the term extensions John Moore,
director of the Offices of Student Advocacy and Executive
Coordinator, wrote the document and says Chuck Spinner,
Legal Services director, assisted him
But Moore refused to comment further on the ODE
board's action or the ASUO's legal essay
Balfe says he has asked Esteve to decide whether the
one-year terms should be reinstated If the answer is no, he
will have to "bend some more ears and get something done,"
he says
"I've asked Harry to formulate an opinion, but I'm not
going to wait forever," Balfe says He would not elaborate on
what action might be taken, but he says he has several
options
Board members are being consulted, but the preliminary
opinion is that the action was appropriate, Esteve says
Balfe's action is puzzling considering he appointed one
of the members in question, Ann Portal, Esteve adds Portal
was ASUO vice president of state and academic affairs before
resigning in September
The action has nothing to do with Portal or Jim Edmund
son, the other representative, Balfe says
It's just a question of legality and their right to do it," he
says
But Portal says the essay attacks her and represents the
ASUO's attitude toward the Emerald
"This is the kind of thing that makes me embarrassed to
be an ASUO representative," she says
The essay also is a "gross misuse of student funds,"
Portal adds The bylaw changes were checked by the Emer
ald attorney last year when the Emerald board changed a
section of the bylaws, she says
We ll certainly look at it again," Portal says.
