Cottaga of SuninxM AdmlnialroUon By Richard Burr Of th« Emerald Students may give their stamp of approval — or dissent — to legislators in a letter-writing campaign starting today. The ASUO, Student Universi ty Affairs Board and Student University Relations Council are Bird watch scheduled Students may sign up for an "eagle watch" trip to Oregon's Klamath Ba sin this weekend The Survival Center sponsored trip costs $22 for food, transportation and lodging. Participants will leave Saturday and return Sunday. Participants will get a guided tour of eagles and other birds in the area Seventy-five eagles were spotted during last year’s trip to the winter habitat. Students should regis ter as soon as possible to get seats on the bus, Sur vival Center officials say nunct rOCKLtH'5 8th & Willamette 1 ?th and Hilyard EVERY TUESDAY 99‘ HOT FUDGE SUNDAES sponsoring letter-writing booths in the EMU, two residence din ing halls and on 13th Avenue. Booth staffers will supply the necessary materials from 8 a m. to 4 p.m. through Friday. The campaign’s thrust is to encourage students to write in support of state higher educa tion, says Debi Lance, ASUO vice president for state and academic affairs. The ASUO will provide fact sheets on proposed state legislation, she adds. The booths will have maps for students to identify their dis tricts and representatives, Lance says. Addresses for na tional legislators also will be available, although the cam paign's focus is on state higher education. Although the student groups have set no target amount, they are trying to get as many letters written as possible Legislators pay more attention to personal letters from constituents than a stack of standardized letters, Lance says The ASUO urges students to write Rep Richard Springer, D-Portland, encouraging him to reconsider his bill making in cidental fees optional, Lance says. Students should write letters supporting the Oregon Student Lobby’s bill to increase student influence on incidental fees, she says. The OSL bill ensures a public hearing if a student government and college administration dis agree about student fees. Al though such hearings have been held at the University, they are not required, Lance says. The OSL previously has sub mitted bills for complete student control of incidental fees, but they always died in committee The OSL bill stands a better chance of passing because it asks only for a required hearing, a gradual move toward student control if approved, Lance says. Summaries of other bills also will be provided at the booths. ASUO will continue to use letter-writing in its lobbying ef fort after this week. The office of state and academic affairs will contact students from the dis tricts of targeted legislators to write future letters, Lance says. Rule changes available Copies of proposed changes in ASUO election rules and the ASUO Constitution are available for public scrutiny and comment in EMU Suite 4 A special constitution review committee proposes 47 possi ble Constitution changes Writ ten comments should be sub mitted to the ASUO secretary by March 4 A public hearing on the changes is scheduled tentative ly for March 7 Following the hearing, the committee will recommend changes for the April ASUO elections ballot to ASUO Pres C.J Balfe The ASUO also would like comment on its election rules. The rules have been revised extensively to solve problems experienced during last year’s elections, says Paul Rudinsky, ASUO executive vice president Comments will be accepted until a public hearing on the changes March 8. Rudinsky, who is in charge of elections, also announced the ASUO election dates Prospec tive candidates may file their intent to run from March 11 to April 1.
