Olum refuses to restore Commentator funds
By Jim Moore
Of the Emerald
Unless the publisher of the
Oregon Commentator can find
a new method of receiving in
cidental fees, the paper will
have to seek other methods of
funding for next year.
Stating an obligation to the
present and future staff of the
paper, Commentator publisher
Dane Claussen unsuccessfully
appealed to University Pres.
Paul Olum to overturn ASUO
Pres. Mary Hotchkiss' veto of an
Incidental Fee Committee vote
to fund the paper with $5,000.
In a letter to Claussen, Olum
said: “The procedure followed
was, I gather, totally regular and
in conformity with the legisla
tion governing student affairs,
and Mary had the legal right to
veto the Incidental Fee Commit
tee's decision. Consequently, I
do not propose to take any ac
tion with respect to that
decision."
While not satisfied with the
decision, Claussen said it was
not unexpected. “I'm disap
pointed, generally, but not sur
prised," he said. According to
Claussen, Olum's decision was
consistent with previous deci
sions by the president to not in
tervene in student government.
"I fully appreciate and unders
tand his point of view,"
Claussen said.
Claussen didn't speculate
where future funding for the
Commentator might come
from, but expressed doubt
about receiving incidental fees.
"I assume that (the appeal to
Olum) exhausts all of our
avenues for incidental fee fun
Davis fills seven ASUO staff positions
ASUO Pres. Julie Davis has
hired seven staff members for
the 1984-85 year.
"We have a good group of
uniquely qualified people," said
Marc Spence, ASUO vice presi
dent and a member of the hiring
committee. "Through their ef
forts, we're looking forward to a
very productive year."
Joining Davis and Spence will
be executive assistant Sherri
Schultz, a junior in French and
political science. Schultz served
as executive assistant for the
Hotchkiss administration and
has been an intern for Con
gressman Jim Weaver.
Rebecca Roby, a junior in
planning, public policy and
management, and Scott Seibert,
an international studies junior,
will coordinate state affairs, in
cluding a lobbying effort in
Salem.
Roby served as the Survival
Center's energy coordinator
and has been a legislative intern
in Salem. Seibert is the presi
dent of Lambda Chi Alpha
fraternity, a member of Univer
sity Democrats, and a former
member of the State Board of
Education.
Bill Snyder, Hotchkiss' stu
dent events coordinator, will
hold that position in the Davis
administration as well. Snyder is
a sociology junior and a
member of the Student Univer
sity Affairs Board. Assistant
events coordinator will be
Nilofar Kermanshahche, a
graduate student in psychology
who has worked with the
Foreign Student Organization.
Tim Jordan will be coor
dinator of ASUO publications,
including the ASUO
news magazine Off the Record
and the Survival Center's
Oregon Advocate this year.
Ellen Nakamura, a finance
junior, will coordinate this
year's Minority Affairs Task
Force. Nakamura is the current
director of the Asian American
Student Union.
The Davis administration will
select coordinators of university
affairs and finance by today,
Spence said.
Forum Lecture set
The last University Forum Lecture of the year
will take place Tuesday, June 5, at 8 p.m., in the
Eugene Conference Center in the Hilton Hotel
lobby.
University Art History Prof. Leland Roth will
show slides and play tapes of music by Johann
Sebastian Bach, who composed his pieces to be
performed in a specific building in mind.
Roth will play a tape of the same piece per
formed in a Cathedral and in a Chamber. He will
also talk about how performers adjusted to the
buildings they play in.

Correction
Those eager to wish Donald Duck a happy
birthday will have to wait a few hours today
to sign his giant card and video-tape a per
sonal greeting. The scroll and taping will be
available from 1 to 3 p.m. in the EMU lobby
— not 9:30 to 11 a.m. as previously printed
in the Emerald.
The Emerald regrets any confusion this
may have caused.

ding," he said.
Olum made two other points
in his letter: that his decision
was not based on personal opi
nion and that he does not rule
out taking action regarding a
decision of the student govern
ment.
"Whatever private views I may
have in this matter, they are ir
relevant to the central issue
which is respect for an ap
propriate level of autonomy for
student government," Olum
said.
Also, "So that there be no
misunderstanding, I should add
that I do not mean to imply that
I would never take any action
with respect to a decision of stu
dent government. It might some
time be necessary to do so, but
that would only be in a case
where I felt that a decision of
student government had
created some major jeopardy
for University programs or for
the future of student activities."
