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

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. Elections will be held
April 13-14 and April 20-21.
