current IK' committee cannot do.
Jon Tucker
This is a time of change at the
University of Oregon. I he effects of
Measure > will force students to
evaluate their priorities and ask them
selves, "What next?" In the coming
year, the Incidental l ee Committee
must also evaluate its priorities yet
maintain the fairness to each orgam/a
non that receives the committee's
appropriations.
Who you vote for on this committee
is an important decision, and 1 would
like to establish myself as a superior
candidate for this position. I am
currently chairman of the Residence
Hall Governance Committee, which
essentially does the same functions as
the Incidental l ee Committee, but on a
smaller scale. This group administers
funds to student groups on campus,
and specifically the residence halls I
am also a member of two academic
honor societies and have served on
committees w ith many other campus
groups.
I have always been active in organi
zations I care about, and I feel it s time
for me to use my experience and
dedication to benefit the university as a
whole, and its students. I his next year
promises to provide challenges to
student leadership, and I want to be a
part of it. Vote Jon I ucker tor the
Incidental f ee Committee.
Jason Wilson
The allocation of over 4.5 million
dollars is an important job, and as a
member of the Incidental l ee ( ommit
tee distributing these funds, I would
provide unbiased and careful consul
eration when allocating these tnciden
tal fees. At a time of tightening budg
clary belts, apportioning these funds in
a fiscally responsible manner is very
important, and my dedication in doing
so would be unmatched.
It is extremely important to me that
every dollar ol incidental fees is spent
effectively and responsibly . I’articu
larly because we students are pay ing
for these incidental tees, we want to
see them utilized in a productive
manner, and I would do my best to
make sure that they are. I will work
for f iscal responsibility and accounta
bility for groups or organizations
receiving incidental fees. Getting the
most for less out of incidental tees will
tv im top prioritv!
It elected. I will otter innovative
thinking wMile serv mg on the II ( . and
I will serve the l Diversity ot Oregon
community to the utmost ot my ability
I am someone you can trust to allocate
incidental tees in a lair and fiscally
responsible way . Please \ote tor me,

1 or mam reasons, the Incidental l ee
Committee is going to lace tremendous
ehallenges in the upcoming year. VV uti
tuition rising sharply, students should
be more critical ol where their inciden
tal lee dollars are s|X‘tit With their
actions under greater scrutiny , the
members ol the ll (’ must exercise
careful judgement when allocating the
a\ a11 aisle funds
As a member ol the IK’, I will try
to answer this increased pressure trom
the student body by making the deci
sions ol the II C and each final budget
allocation more public. Students have
a right to know where every dollar is
going and the reasons why because the
money the IK' allocates comes di
rectiy front the students every term.
The* experience I have in dealing
with student groups and their funding
has prepared me for a position on the
IK'. I have worked within the ASl ()
financial process and I understand its
strengths and weaknesses. As a com
nuttee member, I will Ik- prepared to
use the financial process to the greatest
benefit of all student groups. I he
students on this campus are fortunate
to have the control we do over our inci
dental fees. 1 acknowledge the mipor
lance of the position and appreciate
your vote.

As the Incidental l ee Committee
Secretary I have had the opportunity to
work with the current members. This
has enabled me to learn the process in
which to establish fair budget alloca
tions.
As a result of the passing of ballot
measure 5, next year will Ik- a very
difficult year. We have already w it
nessed cuts in the budgets of numerous

Muilcnt duns anil organizations. i am

into consideration when deciding on a

I lie students ol the l Diversity o!
Oregon enjoy a wide variety ot ser\
ices and programs funded through their
student fee dollars each year My
concern and commitment towards the
.educational, social, cultural and physi
cal development ol the \Sl () has led
me to seek a 2 year seat on the IK’.
\s a student parent. I'm aware ol
the importance ot maintaining pro
grams like the child care subsidy,
which enable students like my sell to
attend this university. Ihis is but one
ol the many programs worth support
mg which promote and enable diver
s11\ m our student population; a great
many other programs exist also which
directly support the well being ol
students and enhance the quality ot out
educational experiences at the l ol().
With the proposed enrollment cuts, a
great deal of skill and maturity will lx*
required when determining how to
maintain funding ot these programs
without compromising quality by
stretching fewer fee dollars across the
board.
I pledge to support the ASl <) by
being conscientious and fair in negoti
atnig the coming challenges we will
lace. I will work hard on campus and
at the state level to maintain the fund
mg, integrity and diversity of the
IJofO’s student funded programs.

There are several ways at
