paign for the measure.
Oregon state statute pro
vidtss that no public employee
shall provide any money, ser
vice or any other thing of value
that may be used to promote the
adoption of a measure. Athletic
Department employees who
promoted the measure while at
work violated the law. Pinckney
writes.
ASl 1C) Constitution law 2.3
states no agengy or program of
the ASUO shall violate any laws
of the United States or the state
of Oregon.
Voelz says promoting the
measure is part of her job
tierause she is merely represen
ting students. She likens her job
to that of Susan Sowards. ASUO
executive coordinator: Hill Kit
Iredge. director of the A St IO Of
fice of Student Advocacy; and
lean Ownbey. assistant to the
publisher of the Oregon Daily
Kmerald.
The law applies only to in
fluencing other employees, not
students, she adds. Also, the
law is applied to civic, not in
stitutional elections, she says.
Pinckney writes that the in
crease would effectively end the
three-year freeze on tuition in
creases at the University.
Because the University
already has the highest tuition
and fees of any public institu
tion on the West Coast, a tuition
increase would hurt the Univer
sity's ability to attract students,
she writes.
Voelz says that with so
many different rules and ac
cusations being disseminated
on campus, she does not know
what to believe. Miscom
mulocation with Pinckney and
the IFC has aggravated the
problem.
"We need to sit down with
the IFC and teach them how to
act professionally and ethical
Iv." she says. Without knowing
the funding process, it only
leads to misunderstandings,
Voelz says.
"It's been a travesty.” she
says.
