KELLYS $3.50 cover representatives from ASUO, SUAB and Student University Relations Council, will coordin ate legislative activities to avoid overlap and duplication, she says. The Oregon Student Lobby, which represents student inter ests for most of the state colleges, will do detailed work and follow student-related bills through the process, says Bob Watrus, OSL executive director Watrus says he is encouraged by the activity at the University campus. The activity is impor tant because student groups are an integral part of the OSL's lobbying effort, he says. The ASUO will complement the OSL's lobbying efforts by having its lobbyists explain how legislative actions have affected students, Lance says Legislators say they want to hear about students' University experiences, not students' "pseudo-expert opinions," she says. "If that's what the legislators want, how can the University lobby without us?" Lance adds Some student lobbyists last year made a bad impression on legislators, expecting to see them without appointments and presenting an uncoordinated front, Lance says She says the legislative council will remedy those problems But even the constant pre sence of student lobbyists in Salem will not ensure success, Lance says "I doubt just because students are in Salem, higher ed will get more money." she says SURC will keep alumni and the parents' association aware of campus lobbying efforts and other activities, says Liz Mann. SURC president SURC "en hances the goals of the Univer sity Relations department," she says. SUAB is considering two trips to Salem, says Dan Allen, SUAB chairer The board also may plan other legislative activities, such as a repeat of last year's conference with Gov. Vic Atiyeh, he says. Board members will not go to the capital to "moan, bitch and whine about the U of O," Allen says. The board will be more informed than last year about how the cuts have affected dif ferent parts of the University, he says Although SUAB lobbying may have limited influence on legis lators, "there’s never been a question in my mind that it's worth it," Allen says But SUAB member Lori Lieberman disagrees "I don't think SUAB should be involved," she says The ASUO and OSL should handle the lobbying because they hire experienced student lobbyists. Lieberman says SUAB could do "as good a job as anybody," but SUAB officials are not elected for their lobbying skills, she says But ASUO will not have any impact on legislators either, Lieberman adds "Legislators have to have told their constituents how they'd vote on higher ed already." she says The OSL is holding a legisla tive planning session Tuesday at 2 p m In the EMU Forum Room to discuss the different processes and strategies student lobbyists will face and Initiate during the legislative session in Salem Become the Video Expert In Your Field Attend This Valuable 2 Hour Workshop How to Schedule, Order, and Operate Video Equipment for Meetings & Conferences Tlw Reel Baaaflt tipli- wttaa pa mmI la »r (tar *Maa pa will kaaw wfcat ta la.
