Frontlash political workshop
provides practical information
By Jacquie Long
Of the Emerald
Summer may mean relaxed
vacations and sunny beaches to
some, but for Scott Seibert,
ASUO’s coordinator of state af
fairs, the warm days bring no
rest from politicking.
Among Seibert’s ASUO ac
tivities this summer was his re
cent attendance at the Pacific
Northwest Training Institute, a
workshop sponsored by a na
tional political organization
called Frontlash. He described
the three-day workshop, held in
Goldendale, Wash., as being
“extremely worthwhile.”
“Of all the political
workshops I’ve attended, and
I’ve been to a lot of them,
Frontlash by far held the best,’’
Seibert said.
Frontlash, organized in the
early 1960s, describes itself as a
“non-partisan youth labor
group.” Members include a
wide range of people, from
university students to labor
groups and political activists.
“I was surprised at the wide
variety of people there, both in
the audience and among the
Frontlash organizers,” Seibert
said.
Unlike many such groups,
Frontlash holds its seminars
essentially free of charge and
will pay transportation costs for
organized political groups.
Guest speakers are brought in
from all over the nation. Seibert
described the speakers as a “key
group of people,’’ union leaders
and political figures from
several states.
The seminars last all day and
if attendance is low, as at the
workshop Seibert attended,
much of the work is done on a
one-to-one basis. Frontlash
organizers were able to help
with several of Seibert’s specific
problems concerning ASUO ac
tivities, he said.
“It’s the first workshop that
I’ve attended and have come
away with organized, step-by
step notes. It was all practical
information too, stuff that I real
ly think I can use in the future,”
Seibert said.
Among Frontlash goals are
some of the same held by ASUO
coordinators: increased voter
registration and awareness,
building of coalitions, better
communications among cam
pus and community organiza
tions, and more effective lobby
ing efforts.
Increasing voter registration
has been a particularly suc
cessful aspect of Frontlash's
work, though the group often
uses somewhat different techni
ques than those normally seen.
For example, anyone who has

attended a Crosby, Stills and
Nash concert recently has pro
bably noticed a group of people
waiting outside the doors and
talking with concertgoers. The
group is part of Frontlash, and
they’re targeting young voters
in a new way.
“They just ask people if
they’re registered to vote and
get them registered if they’re
not,’’ Seibert said, adding that
the program has been surpris
ingly effective.
“They’ve registered several
thousand voters this way, so it
seems to work very well,” he
said.
Seibert expressed some
doubts as to whether many of
the concert-goers now
registered would actually vote.
But he said Frontlash wilt con
tinue to work at the concerts, in
conjunction with Crosby, Stills
and Nash, as long as the pro
gram is effective. No concerts
by the group are scheduled in
Eugene, Seibert said.
“I really think Frontlash is a
worthwhile organization
though,” Seibert said, adding
that the group is not as well
known as he would like.
“We’re always short on peo
ple who are politically aware. It
would be great to see more
students attending workshops
like these,” he said.
Frontlash holds its
workshops throughout the year,
in all regions of the United
States. The next two workshops
will be in early August, held in
Sperryville, Va.
Those interested in Frontlash,
or who would like information
about other political
workshops, can contact anyone
in the ASUO office.
