ASUO minutes
SUAB
"Fourteen not eight" is where
the Student University Affairs
Board wants to draw the line on
student representation in the
University Senate, and the board
is planning a campaign blitz to let
faculty members know their feel
ings on the issue.
SUAB members said Thursday
they want to maintain a one-third
voice in the legislative process
and have come up with a com
promise plan, designed by Chair
Mike Prothe, to accomplish that
goal.
The SUAB compromise, which
would mean a University Senate
comprised of 28 faculty and 14 stu
dent members, is in reaction to a
University Task Force governance
proposal last spring recommen
ding SUAB be cut to eight
members.
Board members will conduct in
terviews with professors this week
to get their view of the proposed
cut and compromise. Letters
stating the board's position on the
proposed cut will also go out to
the faculty.
SUAB will also conduct a letter
campaign in the Oregon Daily
Emerald, coordinate student sup
port groups like the ASUO, the in
terfraternity council and
Panhellinic and rally to get
students to attend the general
assembly meeting on Nov. 9.
Those procedures are designed
to keep student representation
alive in the University Senate, Pro
the said.
"It's a serious issue not to be
taken lightly," he said. "We have
to hit the students and faculty
every way possible."
If approved, the task force pro
posal would not take effect until
next spring and would be review
ed after two years.
In other action, the board
discussed SEARCH classes, claim
ing some faculty members have
cited problems with curriculum
and degree of difficulty of the
SEARCH courses.
Board member Tom Birkland
said that he could find no serious
shortcomings with the program
and that "tightening of faculty
sponsorship guidelines" is all that
is needed.
The board also wrestled with
the notion of a semester conver
sion and said more research — in
cluding surveys with students and
faculty and contacting Oregon
State and Portland State on the
issue — is needed.
In final action, the board ap
pointed Teresa Noonan of Beaver
ton to the SUAB undeclared seat.
IFC
The Incidental Fee Committee
Thursday night declined to move
to allocate funds for Students in
Neuroscience, adopted 20 resolu
tions for the year, balanced for
ward funds in 15 accounts and
allocated $40 to the Constitution
Court.
The SIN representatives, re
questing funds for the first time,
were told to try again next year.
The IFC suggested they improve
their advertising campaign, do
more fund raising, and look at
other program goals and budgets.
One resolution passed despite
the strong dissent of Sheila
Schain, vice-chair.
The Constitution states that
both the ASUO executive and the
IFC can freeze accounts and the
IFC has traditionally voted for
such a resolution, but Schain said
the resolution usurps executive
power and may bring the IFC into
conflict with the ASUO
comptroller.
The two-hour meeting conclud
ed with a discussion of the goals
hearing scheduled for Oct. 20. IFC
Chair Julie Davis said the meeting
will focus on new programs and
major changes in existing budget
requests.
Davis said that if a group goes
through the goals process and the
IFC initially approves its request,
then that group should be
guaranteed some funding. But
committee members Lois Day and
Mark Spence argued there should
be some mechanism for allowing
the possibility of zero funding.
Spence said not only should the
committee consider the pro
gram's goals, but also its realistic
chances of meeting those goals,
the intentions of other members
within the program, and other
variables concerning the pro
jected budget of the program.
BROWN BAG
Rick Cleveland called war ob
solete and discussed alternative
ways of resolving international
conflict at a brown bag lunch in
the EMU Forum Wednesday.
Cleveland, a Eugene attorney
and member of the Creative In
itiative Foundation, told about a
dozen students that reversing the
cultural conditioning about war
entails “the most massive educa
tional effort ever undertaken.”
This education would have to
begin in the United States, where
there is freedom of speech and
assembly, he said. Cleveland add
ed that it would not be necessary
to educate everyone, since these
ideas could spread from a small
core group.
Three EMU Board positions available
Three positions are available on
the EMU Board of Directors, in
cluding two as EMU program
representatives and one for a stu
dent affiliated with an ASUO
funded program.
"The positions will require a
time committment of five hours a
week,” says Chair Dan Cohen.
The positions will be appointed
by the student-elected members
of-the board, Cohen says.
The 15-member EMU Board
allocates $1.2 million in incidental
fees to EMU programs and service
areas and allocates office space
and sets short- and long-term
goals for the EMU.
Applications may be picked up
in Suite 4, EMU, and must be
returned by Oct. 28.
