Using 'program's point of view'

Of Ihr hmerald
Incidental Fee Committee
candidate Armando Morales
believes that people who come
before the IKC should lx; treated
as humans and be given a full
chance to express their
opinions.
"The I PC' should look at the
students as human beings who
have needs, and we need to see
what those needs are, not only
to benefit just the students but

also the entire student com
munity.” Morales said
Morales, a junior studying for
a double major in anthropology
and Spanish literature, is runn
ing for a two-year position on
the IFC. He is no stranger to the
IFC as he is just completing the
two-year position he was
elected to in 1985.
Morales moved to Eugene in
1978 and has done extensive
work within the Hispanic com
munity since then. Upon arriv
ing in Eugene, he began work
ing in the Chicano Support
Center, where he worked until
1981.
Also in 1978. he worked for
the Eugene Council for Human
Rights, and with MKChA until
1982. For the past four years he
has been the coordinator of the
Ahorasi program, a Hispanic
organization that does
volunteer work within the
community.
In addition to IFC and
volunteer workv Morales has
worked with a I.atin American
folk music group that has per
formed around the state, in
cluding several benefit
concerts.
‘Eugene has a good Hispanic
community; in fact, we are the
largest minority in the state. 1
find a lot of ways to educate
other people who have a
stereotype of the Hispanic peo
ple through my work.” he said.
Through MKChA. Morales
was introduced to the IFC’ pro
cess and became dissatisfied
with the way his group was
treated a few years ago by com
mittee members.
“It was as if the IFC would
know what we needed, and we
didn’t have a say in what kind
of a program to organize,” he
said.
By working on the IFC.'
Morales said he seeks to help
other organizations get what is
the most important for them,
and not what the IFC thinks is
more important. He does this by
being openminded to every re
quest that is presented, he said.
“I look at the request from the
program's point of view, and I
look at them as an organization
that will culturally benefit the
student community.”

Pyle seeks 'active' role
as student representative
By Carolyn l.amberson
Of lh» Kmrrald
Doug Pyle is running
for a position on the? In
cidental Fee Committee
because he believes the
best representatives are
activists rather than
bureaucrats.
And in the realm of ac
tivism. Pyle has been ac
tive. He currently serves
as the director of the War
Resistance Center in
Eugene and is involved
Doug Pyle
with the Right to Privacy Political Action Committee and the
Red Cross. While at Portland State University, Pyle worked
with the Coalition for Kqual Rights, Students for Lesbian and
Gay Rights and founded the Arts Union there.
The role of the IFC should be as a support group to help
student organizations succeed. Pyle said, adding those
organizations cannot be expected to run like professional
businesses because students are, after all. just students.
Pyle would like to see the IFC become less of a police
force lecturing groups for every seemingly unnecessary
budget line-item. The IFC should not rule with an iron hand,
he said.
He also would like to relieve some of the political tension
that has existed in past years. This is possible this year
because voters am being faced with two slates of candidates
(one endorsed by Students for a Progressive Agenda, the
other by Concerned Students for Responsive Leadership)
with definite distinctions between them. Pyle said. In the
past, the differences between opposing parties has been
murky, he said.
One goal Pyle stresses is that, if elected, he would like to
defend students’ rights to form groups and receive funding if
eligible.
“There will be groups I disagree with, but all have the
right to get funding if they meet the criteria,” he said.
If Pyle is elected, he doesn’t see making too many
changes in the structure of the IFC, he said.
"The structure is such that it will work as well as the
members will allow' it to work,” Pyle said.
Pyle is going to try new tactics with the role of the IFC if
he is elected: lobbying at the state and national levels for a
change in the current financial aid laws, specifically the one
that deals with independent student status. Even though this
is not perceived as a role of an IFC' member, Pyle believes
changes in this law are needed and will lobby, if not as an IFC
member, then as a student.
