Loop seeks more interaction
between students, government
By Michael Rivers
(M th« i.nwtrald ~ . v
Student apathy and the need for increased
.interaction between student government and
students in general, are two things that pro
mpted Stanley '"Char." ■' Lqiop td ran for the
1986-87 ASUO presidency, he says'.
The apathy exists because a '.’majority of
students feel them is nothing you can do with
student government because you have to Ije in
Student government to. understand it," Loop
says. "1 would like to change this attitude to
show that you dori!t have.to be totally immers* ■
ed.in it to get. something done.:.';
The.emphasis oh special. Interest.groups,
• .. such.as Students for a Progressive Agenda and
the Greeks. has been a. contributing factor to
. student apathy. Loop1 says, f le Believes he. is
• more representativeof-people on carnpiis than o.
. • the other candidates "I'm a GDI ('goddamned
■independent*); and the majority of the people
on this campus aren’t,Greeks either. " •”
. V........ ■' .I' '-----1
'.t v'- As president. Loop says he would judge
issues on how they afhsct the majority of
students, not on whether it was a liberal or
• . '.'conservative issue.
"You can't refuse to deal with an issue
because it's liberal or conservative," he says.
Although Loop lacks actual experience in
student government, he believes his ex
perience with people more than makes up for
it He says he's familiar with the workings of
bureaucracy after serving four years in the U S
Navy', and that his experience gives him a dif
ferent perspective of what's happening on
campus!
One way of generating student interest
and breaking down apathy. Loop believes. is a
dedication to meeting weekly with students in
the dorma, campus organizations and at
rallies. "We need to inform people. If we can
gut people to feel they belong to an organiza
tion. they'll give interest to the organization."
he says.
ASUO
Elections
: .' loop's; legislative agenda focuses on t»x
pandirig the student lobby on both the state
arid federal level and pressing hard for mure
money for University funding, faculty pav and
financial aid., :
Political in fighting and dissension
among sludehts has decreased the effec
five,ness of the current ASUO administration,
lamp says. "You can't have a good university
if all the student government is doing is
fighting about whether to put a van on the
street." .
If lie were elected, Loop says he would fill
ASliO posit ions with students who had a will
ingness to learn and who have a dedication to
what they're doing.
Military recruiters and other organizations
should have free act ess to campus 'simply
•■•because" this is America arid free speech is
everyone's right," says U»pi"Bui it s also my
right, or anyone's right, to organize a protest
against their presence' "
If elected. Loop says he would try to
organize a concert on campus using local ar
tists. with the benefits going to combat hunger
in the Kugene area He believe events like this
plus more protests and rallies would draw at
tention to the University and would attract
more students. This in turn would lead to in
creased funding, which would attract more
faculty, he says.
Pushing ahead with the divestiture
lawsuit and the Riverfront Research Park art
two other issues favored by lamp, lie would
like to see the University have more control
over what would be happening at the park,
however. "I don't like to think we ll have
defense contractors running amuck so close to
Campus," lamp says.
One last thing lamp would like to sm* is
improvement in relations between the Univer
sity anti the business community Specifically,
hi? would like to see local business encourag
ing student consumerism by offering student
discounts.
