k VOTER’S GUIDE 1987 ASUO ELECTIONS i
Getting involved in the University is
important to me. As a member of the
IFC, I would help promote campus
diversity, while avoiding excessive and
unreasonable increases, and being
reponsive to students’ needs. While
striving for better communication bet
ween the Incidental Fees Committee
and the groups it funds, I would also
seek improved student input into the
decisions made by the IFC. My involve
ment will be your benefit, and I will
represent the students of the University
of Oregon to the best of my ability.
ARMANDO MORALES
My name is Armando Morales and I
would like to represent you on Inciden
tal Fee Committee. As I am an actual
member of Incidental Fee Committee, I
have had an opportunity to work within
Incidental Fee system. In addition, I am
a member and director of the Latin
America folk group, Sandunga. We have
performed throughout the west coast
and locally in such festivals as
Willamette Valley Folk Festival, the
Country Fair, and the Eugene celebra
tion. I am also the coordinator of
KLCC's Ahora Si program, a Latin
music and news community service
program.
As a member of the Incidental Fee
Committee, I will encourage program
growth, and show sensitivity to the
diverse groups and organizations on
campus within a framework of fiscal
responsibility. I will particularly en
courage the development of cultural
events which these groups propose, so
that our community can experience the
richness and diversity of international
culture.
J.B. LEAHY
As a student you pay $61 each term
in incidental fees to attend the
University. This is an incredible tax
and determining how much each
group should receive is a process
that requires careful scrutiny. I am
running for a seat on the IFC to
become part of this process. I believe
that the 3 million plus dollars that ac
cumulates from the incidental fee
should be redistributed to serve the
greatest number of students. The
funds should provide a diverse mix
ture of programs, activities, cultures,
sports, and events to our campus.
The decision for this allocation
should be made without political con
sideration. I have been active in Alpha
Kappa Psi, the Professional Business
Fraternity, for the past three years
and have served as President, Social
Chair and I am currently on the ex
ecutive. The time that I have spent in
A.K. Psi provides me with extensive
experience in the budgeting process
and fiscal responsibility.
I have been endorsed by CSRL. I
promise to look at each funding re
quest for what it brings to you. I hope
that you will support me, J.B. Leahy
for IFC, thank you.
DOUGLAS PYLE
The best representatives are ac
tivists, not bureaucrats! That is why
SPA candidates, like myself, have ex
tensive experience in campus and
community organizations — working
for worthwhile causes. Given the
new, radical right-wing CSRL can
didates this year, it is more important
than every to vote SPA — to protect
the rights of all groups, regardless of
ideology, to exist equally without
discrimination.
PYLE’s positions on the issues:
— I will fight to prevent any increase
in the "incidental” activity fee.
— Activity fees are paid by students,
for students, and should remain in
student control.
— I support free speech, nonpartisan
political/social activism, and the right
of students to form organizations
based on common interests.
— Affirmative action and non
discrimination must be more than a
promise.
PYLE’s experience:
— Director: War Resistance Center
— former Director: Arts Union
(Portland State)
— former Editor: Mid-Valley Link
newspaper
— former Media Coordinator:
Eugene Free South Africa
— former Coordinator: Students for
Lesbian and Gay Rights (PSU)
— Volunteer: Citizen Action for
Lasting Security, CALS, and Commit
tee in Solidarity with the Central
American People
— former fundraising staff person:
Democratic party of Oregon
Vote SPA. Vote Douglas Pyle, In
cidental Fee Committee!
Wayne Skill
The students of this university will
pay approximately three million
dollars in incidental fees during the
next school year. It is my belief that
this money should be spent to direct
ly benefit the students, and enhance
the university experience by pro
viding for the cultural diversity of this
campus. The spending of these fees
requires a sense of fiscal respon
sibility that I feel I can provide.
I have a unique background of par
ticipation in campus organizations
that distinguishes me as a candidate
that represents a diversity of views
that have previously been overlooked.
I am a fourth year architecture stu
dent and I have been a member of the
U of O wrestling team since my
enrollment at the university in the fall
of '83. In addition, I am an Army
R.O.T.C. academic scholarship win
ner, and a former Presidential
Scholar.
I am endorsed by the C.S.R.L., a
group which I believe represents the
best interests of the students. Thank
you for your support.

SANDRA THOMPSON
Students deserve fiscal respon
sibility in the allocation of their in
cidental fees. Students should not
simply be utilized as an endless
source of money whenever programs
request additional resources. Every
funded program should be carefully
reviewed to assess the groups
needs, ascertain their specific
resources, and monitor the use of
granted budgets. An increased em
phasis needs to be placed on alter
native sources of funding, including
grants and fundraising. An IFC
member should be viewed as an ad
visor to groups in order to better
manage their budgets.
Politics should play no part in the
operations of the IFC. Budgeting
should be based on uniform criteria,
applied to every group, in a fair and
equitable manner. Funds need to be
utilized to benefit students attending
our campus, rather than to fund out
side political issues.
I have the experience, knowledge,
and openness to excel and persevere
in the IFC. As a consultant in the
private sector, I developed, proposed
and administered million-dollar
budgets. Currently a first year MBA
student, I’ve gained five years of
business education, which has also
added to my budgeting background.
Supported by Concerned Students
for Responsive Leadership (CSRL), I
believe in equal representation and
an openness to new ideas.
TEDDY WALLACE
As a Native American student, I
can bring a broad perspective to the
IFC. It is important to ensure a variety
of events on campus.
Experience: Paid staff Democratic
Party since Presidential election
1984. Advocate for the poor,
Washington County and Portland.
RON MUNION
We all know that the gravytrain
must stop. Students want their in
cidental fees used wisely. Therefore,
priorities must be set. The system
can’t be changed overnight, but the
time to start is now.
On the Incidental Fee Committee
this year, I have not been a rubber
stamp. But I also understand that our
programs are the backbone of our
campus. Therefore, as a member of
the IFC, I have fervently protected
programs right to funding. This sup
port extends not only to GALA, but
also to the Masters of Business Ad
ministration Association and the
Singapore Student Association. This
is because without diversity of
thought, we lose a major portion of
our education. Adequate support or
child care is a major concern of mine.
My experience as a current
member of the Incidental Fee Com
mittee, EMU Board of Directors, and
my past experience as ASLCC
Budget Chairman gives me the need
ed financial background to insure
that our money will be used wisely. I
am supported by CSRL.
My message is simple: We need to
introduce sanity and logic to the
budget process. That is why I am ask
ing you to vote for Ron Munion for
reelection to IFC
COLLIN D. FARRELL
Last year the Incidental Fees Com
mittee allocated $3 million. In the
past years Incidental Fees have con
tinued to increase. The rise in spen
ding must not continue. But despite
the increases, some groups have not
seen the benefits. Many groups have
been neglected, yet they serve a large
percentage of the students on our
campus. These groups need to be
represented fairly.
The Incidental Fees Committee
needs to be “depoliticized”. Each
group should not be subjected to the
individual biases and political
preferences of the committee
members. The benefits to the
students as a whole should be the
criteria for determining the allocation
of Incidental Fees. IT’S YOUR
MONEY!
In determining whether to fund a
group and how, three factors must be
considered. First, does the group add
to the cultural enrichment and educa
tion of the student population (who
are of course paying the fees)?
Secondly, how large is the group's
membership and what is its potential
for growth? Finally, it should be
determined as to whether the group
can raise its own funds.
If elected, I would see to it that
your money is allocated fairly, un
biasedly, and without regard to
political motive. Vote for Collin
Farrell.
STEVE HOYT
As incidental fees are comprised
solely of money paid by students, the
responsiveness of the Incidental Fee
Committee to students is acute. Be
ing that every student inputs money
to the Incidental Fee fund, I feel that
every student of this University is en
titled to have his/her incidental fees
used to benefit them in a productive,
fair, and positive manner.
This bears the responsibility of In
cidental Fee Committee members to
be insightful, sensitive, and
dedicated to the needs and values of
all students. If elected, I would work
to the best of my ability to see that
this was carried out.
While my experience with budgets
is limited, I feel that my work and in
volvement with various student
groups and organizations qualifies
me for this position by illustrating my
concern for and work with the
students of this University. I am cur
rently the assistant to the ASUO
president and am working with the
ASUO on State Affairs and ac
cessibility of University buildings to
the physically limited. In the past I
have worked with the ASUO Child
Care Task Force, been a volunteer for
the EMU Cultural Forum, and was
Spring Rush Chairman of my fraterni
ty (Phi Gamma Delta). Vote Hoyt.

JEFF MORGAN
Because of my commitment, my
experience, and my desire to serve, I
ask that you vote for me, Jeff Morgan,
to be your representative to the
Associated Students’ Presidential
Adversory Council.
ASPAC, President Olum’s student
advisory council, is one place where
your vote truly counts. It’s not merely
student politics; it’s the students’
direct line to the University president
and administration.
My three years’ of student involve
ment makes me the best of the can
didates. I’ve served two ASUO ad
ministrations, been appointed to
numerous student/faculty commit
tees, worked for both The Emerald
and the campus radio station KWAX. I
am also a member of the Student
University Relations Council and
have received a Century Award for my
student leadership.
This record of involvement not only
shows my dedication to the Universi
ty, but more importantly gives me a
perspective on student life that the
other candidates cannot have. I have
seen how the University functions. I
have heard how students feel. I have
recognized how non-traditional
students need a stronger voice.
Students need an experienced, in
formed voice on ASPAC. I believe that
I am the most qualified candidate to
be that voice.
Please vote for Jeff Morgan for
ASPAC. Thank you.
NICOLE LEWIS
With the formation of the Presi
dent’s Advisory Council, students
now have the opportunity to express
their views and concerns to the presi
dent. Students are now able to elect a
representative to do this.
I am already involved on campus. I
have been involved in Saferide and
Impact Training. Currently I am in
volved as a Tribunal Prosecutor and
as a member of Delta Delta Delta. I
would like the opportunity to become
even more involved in campus life
and with other students. I am
dedicated and hardworking and think
I am qualified for this position.
As a student at the UO I am aware
of the concerns of others attending
the University. With this knowledge I
will be able to present them to Presi
dent Olum and find acceptable
solutions.
