West 32 Street, New York, N.Y. 10001 General election begins today Record voter turnout expected, if sunny By Richard Burr Of »h* Emerald A close ASUO presidential race and several ballot measures will be decided as ASUO general elections voting starts today and ends Thursday. A record voter turnout is ex pected if sunny weather prevails, says Paul Rudinsky, ASUO executive vice presi dent in charge of elections. “(Turnout) should run at least into the 3,000s,” Rudin sky says. “This is the closest race in several years.” With so much at stake,... I can’t see any student not be ing affected by these elec tions, he says. Students need to present their picture identification and paid fee card to vote at the six campus voting booths. The booths will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. David Gibson, an accoun ting senior, and Mary Hot chkiss, an English and French senior, are facing off for the ASUO presidency. The two candidates were forced into a runoff when neither won more than 50 percent of the vote during the primary election last week. Fourteen Incidental Fee Committee candidates will vie for seven committee seats. Only one Student University Affairs Board seat, telecom municatio/nspeech/theatre, needs to be determined. Six EMU Board candidates are vying for three “at-large” positions. Richard Mason, who was eliminated from the field in the primaries, has replaced Steve Pesante on the ballot because Pesante withdrew. Four candidates are com peting for two seats on the Vote Mow or You Don't Know Who You'll Get A5UO General Elections Wednesday and Thursday April 20th and newly created President’s Ad visory Council. The council meets with the University president but does not decide binding policy. Two candidates are vying for the “at-large” position on the Oregon Daily Emerald board of directors. Students also may vote on three ballot measures, two opinion questions and three pages of ASUO Constitution amendments. The ballot measures involve increasing the funding of the Oregon Student Public In terest Research Group, asking students to vote on OSPIRG’s increased funding every two years and declaring the Univer sity a nuclear-free zone. Students also will be asked their opinion on which scheduling system — quarter or semester — they prefer and whether ROTC scholarship practices violate University discrimination policies. House revives bill banning state investing SALEM (AP) - The House on Tuesday changed its mind and revived a once-dead bill that would restrict state in vestments in companies doing substantial business in racial ly segregated South Africa. The House voted 32-26 to reconsider the bill that had been rejected Monday and sent it back to committee. The measure, intended to force the state to get rid of in vestments in enterprises do ing business with South Africa, was defeated by a 34-25 vote on Monday. But it was revived Tuesday without debate and returned to the Human Resources Committee. Opponents contend HB 2772 could result in lower ear nings on public employee pen sion money and other state funds that are invested in securities of companies with enterprises in the African country. But backers of the bill argue that it doesn’t require the state to drop any investments if the money couldn’t be in vested elsehwere at sim'lar rates of return. In other action, * bill dealing with health insurance payments for treatments by acupuncturists won narrow approval after surviving an at tempt to ship in back to committee.
