Board appointments delayed By Doug Nash Of the Emerald Gov. Vic Atiyeh's annual luncheon Wednes day with the state's newly elected student body presidents may not be as cordial as he might hope. At issue is the selection of a student position on the State Board of Higher Education. The posi tion is currently held by student member Randall Gill, whose term expires June 30. Atiyeh, mean while, has yet to select a new student member. And that rankles Oregon Student Lobby Director Sherry Oeser, who points out that two other, non-student positions were filled about a month ago. "We're very concerned that he hasn't made the appointment," she says. "It almost makes it look as if this isn't as important an appointment as the other positions on the board." Student leaders say the delay also indicates that Atiyeh probably isn't paying much attention to a list of 11 possible appointees recommended by the student body presidents. Scott Seibert, a University student and one of those on the list, says the governor's office told him that none of the recommended students would be interviewed for the position. “I wouldn't be surprised," Seibert says of Atiyeh's apparent disinterest in the student rec comendations. "He's basically out searching around for so meone more suitable to him," ASUO Pres. Julie Davis says. "His refusal to even interview them is really frustrating." The delay could also have a negative impact on student representation at a very crucial time, Davis says. The Senate must confirm Atiyeh's ap pointment, but will not meet again until late July to do so, she says. Thus, the delay might mean that the student member will miss one, maybe two board meetings. "It's leaving people without one of the students on the board for a couple of months," Davis says. "In a year where students are asked to testify for higher education and participate active ly in the lobbying process, it's difficult to effec tively do that when you're precluded from it." Davis, Oeser and the other student leaders will voice their concern with Atiyeh at their meeting Wednesday. Davis completes staff selection ASUO Pres. Julie Davis hired the last of her staff members for the 1984-85 year on Friday. The new staff members join Marc Spence, ASUO vice president, and seven others selected last week. Karin Keutzer, a junior in political science and rhetoric and communication, will be coordinator of University af fairs. Keutzer is currently a member of the Student Univer sity Affairs Board. Marcia Schmaedick, an undeclared freshman who has been active in dormitory government, will be assistant coordinator of University affairs. John Dreezen, beginning graduate work in business ad ministration next fall and presently a research assistant in the College of Business, will be coordinator of program ad ministration and finance. Kevin Lewis, a finance junior, will be budget assistant. Michael West, a sophomore in English who was active in University of Washington's student govern ment last year, will be assistant for program development. "These people are dynamic and energetic individuals who will round out this year's Ex ecutive staff,” Davis says. "I'm looking forward to working with them, and am excited about the skills they will bring to student government.” Correction In its announcement of the new ASUO executive staff, the Emerald listed the Survival Center's mon thly Oregon Advocate as an ASUO publication, which it is not. The Emerald apologizes for any misunderstanding this may have caused. ^German AUTO SERVICE __Since 1963 VWs - MERCEDES - BMWs DATSCJN - TOYOTA - AUDI Reliable Service For Your Foreign Auto 342 2912 2025 Franklin Blvd HELP WANTED Earn $90.00 Monthly Become a Regular Paid Plasma Donor and Help Us Save Lives Your plasma is given to accident and burn victims.
