KARI ANDERSON
If elected to the Inci
dental Fee Committee, I
would serve as an unbiased
student representative to
allocate student fees in a
manner which would insure
the cultural and physical
diversity this campus de
serves and has enjoyed for
many years.
As a member of AS
PAC I have been careful to
equally represent the stu
dent body at large and would
carry this philosophy over to
my 1FC seat. However as
students at the University of
Oregon we have seen signif 1
cant increases in student
fees over the last five years.
1 would work to keep these
fees at the current level or
below by assisting the vari
ous ASUO funded organiza
tions to efficiently allocate
our student fees.
JENNIFER BILLS
As a fee-paying stu
dent, I am committed to
keeping fees as low as pos
sible while still maintaining
quality programs.
My experience, inno
vation and commitment
enable me to meet this chal
lenge. In the past, I have
ben both an uninvolved
student and a very involved
program director. I am
currently an active board
member of the lTS Student
Association, which allows me
to bring ideas from other
campuses to the UO.
As GALA co-director, I
learned to formulate budg
ets, he accountable for stu
dent money, and solicit
outside resources for the
program. Many ASIJO pro
grams currently fundraise.
While this work is excellent,
I believe that student gov
ernment needs to do their
share of fundraising. 1 will
work with other student
leaders to force the Univer
sity, local, state, and federal
government to pay their
share of many programs.
As students, you will
benefit from my experience
with a variety of student s
and student groups, and the
broad understanding of
issues 1 will bring to the fee
allocation process. 1 am a
fair and caring member of
the UO community, and with
your vote, 1 will make an
outstanding contribution to
the IFC.

“The Incidental Fee
Committee is responsible for
allocating more than 4.a
million dollars in student
fees to more than 7a ASl 'O
funded programs as well as
the EMU budget and the
Athletic Department sub
sidy. Great skill is needed
for the management of these
funds.
The process for t he
allocation of these funds
must he done in such a way
that the needs of the hulk of
the student body are met.
The allocations must set up
in such a way that everyone
gets a fair share of the
funds.
If elected to the Inci
dental Fee Committee, I will
make sure that this process
is set in motion and that
students will have a say in
where their money is going.
I have the experience of
working within the system
and know where the prob
lems are. I am knowledge
able, experienced, and know
what must be done. Vote for
Ernie Brown".

An Incidental Fee
Committee member should
not enter into the responsi
bilities of such an important
and powerful position carry
ing any type of political or
personal baggage. An Inci
dental Fee Committee mom
her should base their fee
allocating decisions on crite
ria set in advance by the
committee, and not on hid
den political agenda’s. An
Incidental Fee Committee
member should also have
experience with budgeting
and finance*, and with tough,
progress oriented decisions.
I have these qualifications.
My experience as a
securities broker lias given
me extensive experience in
“real world" business deci
sions. In the last three years
I have personally traded
over $2H million dollars in
investment securities. I
have also worked as a finan
cial analyst and written a
computer program meant to
analyze a firm’s financial
positions. My relavant "on
campus" experience includes
serving as Inter Fraternity
Council Treasurer, Beta
Theta Pi Treasurer, Corre
sponding Secretary, and
Recording Secretary, as well
as handling all accounts for
t he “(I reeks for Kath v
Guard" Philanthropy.
But most important 1>
I have tin- ability to deal
with each student group on a
one-to-one basis; though my
experience with numbers is
extensive, at heart I am a
“person-person”.

“The Incidental Fee
Committee is responsible for
the allocation of in access of
Four million dollars to about
75 ASUO funded groups or
subsidised programs. We as
students all pay an inciden
tal fee. It is extremely im
porta nt that these funds are
allotted fairly in a manner
that reflects the general
views and interests of the
student body. While it is
important to take into ac
count the special funding
needs of certain groups, the
committee must not allow
groups which represent a
vocal minority to have un
proport innate funding.
In order to accomplish
this I propose that a a more
clearly defined set of criteria
he established to asses the
needs of the various groups.
This proposal would take
into account the changing
needs of the student body
instead of being based pri
marily on previous years
spending.
Ifelected to the Inci
dental Fee committee, 1 will
work hard to insure that
your incidental fees are
(listributed as fairly as
possible and reflect the
needs and interest of the
student body. 1 also will not
support any deficit spending.
A vote for me is a vote for
fair distribut ion of your
incidental fees.”

All students of thr
University of Oregon rat'll
term contributes $t)2 per
term of their tuition towards
incidental fees, a total
amount well over 1.1 million
dollars. This money is dis
tributed to the KMlT and its
subsidiary groups, the Ath
letic Department, and about
75 ASUO funded programs.
The two programs that
received the most money
(approximately 1.2 million
each) are the EMU and the
Athletic Department. With
a lot of time, effort, and
serious thinking composed of
analyzing each program to
its fullest and getting rid of
unnecessary cost, the IFU
committee could allocate this
money to more needy pro
