in their recent work experience
By Kim Kaady
Of Hw Kmvrald

'86^ ASUO
Elections
*C**&*<**£r*&n
• The candidates said their
greatest strength lies in their ex
perience," which • they said is
both "recent, tfnd relevant."
Both haVe Worked.with student
„ V. programs ijn» ,A.S( JO. President
Lynn Pinckney's administration
"and'are in toiic.K with.the needs
; .of.each group, (Jameron said.
■ ° ■ Nelson and . -Cameron said
they~plan-to fight cuts in fihan
.* cial aid’by continuing to lobby
; at "bGtftith’e/state and national
level's. -IJnder. |heir- administra
’ tion, .the University would con
tinue tp utilize its membership
in the Oregon- Student Lobby
and the United.States Student
Association. Both groups can
set up meetings with senators
and other legislators in Oregon
.arid Washington. D.C.,.they
said. .
The candidates’ plans to im
prove childcare facilities in*
elude the formation of a task
force to ensure more parental
input and to continue support
of alternative childcare pro
grams. Cameron said. Five such
facilities currently serve the
needs of University students,
but expansion is needed to meet
the demand, she said.
Increasing campus safety is
also a high priority for Nelson
,and Cameron. Cameron, who
serves on the Project Side Ride
committee, said she would like
to see more publicity about the
University's five escort
services,.
in addition, both candidates
said there is a need for improv
ed lighting around campus, and
they recommend installing
more cal I boxes and telephones.
Nelson said handicapped ac
cessjbijity is also an important
•issue; and his administration
■plans to help increase ac
cessibility in several buildings,
particularly the Main Library
and fieri finger Lounge, he adds
■ " Student input into campus
planning, decisions also would
be stressed in the administm
tion. Nelson said. He said his
involvement with handling stu
dent grievances on the Student
Administration Hoard has in
creased his awareness of stu
dent concerns, which he said
include the continued fight to
divest student funds from South
Africa*
Nelson also said he would
solicit student input on the
Riverfront Research Park and
keep working toward obtaining
a ban on classified research at
the park.
Another project on Nelson's
and Cameron's agenda is the
creation of a low-cost
cooperative food store to be
located in the lower portion of
the EMU. formerly occupied by
Anderson’s Sporting Goods
Store.
The store would sell groceries
at reduced prices and offer bulk
foods at . a discount to student
living organizations. Cameron
said

what to do next year.” Cameron
Maid, "The safe ride van and the
food store are projects we can be
extremely proud of. There
aren't many universities across
the country who would go this
far out of their way to do things
for their students and take care
of their needs."
Concerning, the allocation of
student fees. Cameron said the
administration would strive for
"responsible allocation of In
cidental Fee Committee funds."
Allocation would In’ tied
directly to the benefits students
receive from the program, she
said.
