FRESHMAN POSITION • VOTE FOR ONE
Anthony Corona
My name 13 Anthony Corona and I am running tor the Fresh
man Board of Directors position There is a great demand for
better service and quality control here at the University of Ore
gon There are also many faults with the way in which our book
store is run That «s why I am running tor a Board of Directors
position I feel that I can only do my best to help out all the stu
dents here at the University of Oregon in making our bookstore
even more efficient and worthy of our business than it is now
Many, if not most of the books which we are required to read
and learn from are bought through our campus bookstore
Therefore, it would be to the students best interest to have a
place where he/she could find almost anything he/she would
need during his/her stay at the University of Oregon Thai is my
goal To make the University of Oregon Bookstore better than
the rest Looking one step ahead into tomorrow’s promising fu
ture is just a single vote away VOTE ANTHONY CORONA

As a frequent visitor ot the U of 0 Bookstore. I have noticed
the efficient and effective role H plays m the oveiail activities of
the University The U of 0 Bookstore Board of Directors must
serve the many needs of the people using if I leel lhal I pos
sess me integrity and qualifications needed to represent the d>
verse student body as a member ot the Board ol Directors
The Bookstore has traditionally shown its customers that it
wishes to bo more responsive to its customers, and along with
this notion I would express a proactive altitude towards
changes I would like to see adopted l will lobby tor improve
ments in the long lines at the beginning of each term, a cap on

Our Bookstore operates with the purpose of serving its mem
bers—the students and faculty of the University As a student
you have every right to express your ideas and criticisms to the
administration of our bookstore with hope that your idea will be
discussed and possibly initiated As a seathokler on the Board
of Directors I would do all possible to bridge communication
and follow through with your suggestions
Presently, an important issue of the bookstore is of expan
sion —both structurally and in products and services As an ar
chitecture student with a background in consumer relations I
feel that I would be an asset in both working with an architect
to initiate spacial expansion and in creating applicable consum
er policies for the betterment of customers
The University of Oregon's Bookstore is a vital element of our
campus With your vote, I will work to insure that the book
stores prosperity continues and insist that the allocation of
space, the products, and the services will complement the di
versity and continually changing needs and desires of the stu
dent body
Tracy Naber
My name is Tracy Naber I am currently a member of the
ASUO Executive as Assistant Finance Coordinator I have had
experience working with many students and student groups
throughout the IFC budgeting process I am also a member of
the LTD Student Transit Council and the Academic Require
ments Committee
I would like to represent the student body as a member of the
Bookstore Board The board gives students an opportunity to
have a voice in the running of a business that directly affects
them As a representative of the student body I would work to
expand the guaranteed book program and to make the Book
store more responsive to the needs of the students Vote Tracy

Mont of us find ourselves in the Bookstore on a daily or week
ly basis buying texts or supplies, picking up a quick snack or
checking out the latest magazine The Bookstore is an integral
part of campus life It serves a large and diverse campus popu
lation. and mostly serves us well
One of the least fun times in the Bookstore for students is
registration week Everybody has a different collection of text
books and supplies to buy and most of us are trying to make
each dollar go as tar as possible The lines are long and it
seems like there must be a better way'
There are ways to improve Bookstore services for students I
believe a larger selection of used texts and a higher discount
rate would save the student body as much as $1.000.000 per
year (approximately $200 per person) We should be able to ac
comphsh these savings and still offer the other services we vai
ue at a good price
As a Board Director I would listen to what you want and work
for improved services for all students I am confident that
through my management experience and willingness to work I
can make a positive difference
Clint Weiler
Ending my sophomore year I have become more eager as
time passes to become more involved with this University I am
currently a supervisor for registration and enjoy the responsible
ity of working with both my supervisors and subordinates The
pleasure I receive working under these circumstances comes
from working well with people l look for respect when Qlven re
sponsibility but also give plenty of respect to authority I work
hard for my goals and I believe if something is to be accom
plished everybody must play a role and work together
My expectations of holding a seat on the Board of Directors
is to be intensely involved with the expansion of the Bookstore
Along with the structural expansion of the Bookstore I would
also like to sec* an expansion of service in order to handle the
big rush at the beginning of each term These are general ideas
that have surely been raised and with an excited attitude and
an ability to work hard I can help the Bookstore move toward
progress in the future With this in mind I will accept your vote
as an invitation to improve the bookstore tor everybody
Rick Luetenhaus
Two years of my service on the Board of Directors will mean
this for you (1) Authentic progress toward meeting the special
needs of all members while keeping the operating costs to a
minimum, and {*?) the immediate resolution of complaints or
problems that impede our abilities to serve you better
In 1986 JCPenney flew me to their corporate headquartors in
New York to meet with one of their CEO s Robert Gill
because they believed that I will be one of the nation s future
leaders In merchandising In my free time I have started my own
small business with the same two objectives that are necessary
at the University Bookstore Provide all students with quality
products at the lowest possible price
If you have any questions regarding my qualifications please
call 143 7384 and leave your name and phone number I II got
the message and will try to provide you with the information
that you need I plan to be equally accessible if elected io the
Board Many candidates will spend a lot of money for your vote
I will spend less than $5 to inform you about mo
