prevention services, and two .5 FTE staff counselors to help reduce the waiting list. The total fee will continue to be assessed on year-to-year basisunder the supervision of a joint student-faculty board. A vote of the student body is required to either terminate, reduce or in crease the total fee. Measure #9 Do you support additional funding of $42,406 for the EMU ChildCare and Devel opment Centers, primarily to paystate-mandatedwage increases for classified and student teaching staff and so maintain the program's current level of service? Passage of this proposal will raise Incidental Fee funding for the EMU Child Care by approximately .80 cents per student, per ter m< from approximately $2.00 per student, per term, to ap proximately $2.80 per stu dent, per term), and so provide this program a total of $148,421 of Incidental Fee support annually in 1990-91. this level of Incidental Fee funding would cover 30per cent of the projected EMU Child Care program ex penses. Parent fees would pay 62 percent of the pro gram costs, and USDA meal grants would make up the remaining 8 percent. A personal note from the Elections Board: This year’s elections are sure to be exciting and informative. It is our deep est hope that everyone will get involved in the process, a process that carries with it an opportunity to use the power which we have as students at the University of Oregon. That power is the power to vote. This campus is said to be known for its political awareness; how ever, in past elections, the voter turnout has been very low. Last year, approxi mately 21% of the student body actually showed up at the voting booths. This is a situation which should cause some concern among the student body. Only one-fifth of the student body last year decided who would run the student government, what the general policy of the University would be, and the amount we would pay for our incidental fees, which ties directly into our tuition. In this year’s election, the student body will again be asked to make some very crucial decisions, so please, inform yourself and exercise the control you have over the things that aftect you. Use your STUDENT POWER and VOTE Sincerely, Mark Morse ASUO Elections Board.
