By Sarah Clark OeQtyi CMy At its last meeting of the year, the University Senate voted unanimously to make stalking a campus offense and discussed the possibility of using secret bal lots in the University Assembly, but it took no action on the new race, gender and non-European requirement. Stalkers — people who follow others around or contact them in a way that interferes with their lives — can now be punished under the University’s Student Conduct Code Punishment will range from warnings to expulsion, depend ing on the seriousness of each case, said Student Conduct Coor dinator Elaine Green. The senate unanimously approved the motion. The senate also discussed the possibility of using secret mail ballots for certain motions before the assembly. The proposal, introduced by Physics Professor Paul Csonka, comes in response to recent assembly action on the new race, gender and non-European requirement. At the past two meetings, many assembly members accused each other of intimidat ing others into voting a certain wav. Some assembly members complained there wasn't enough time to discuss the issues. Oth ers wore concerned that the large faculty turnout made counting hands difficult when tallying votes. Csonka said his proposal would solve those problems Under Csonka’s measure, a motion would Ik* voted on by secret ballot if 75 or more assem bly members requested it. All 1,100 members would be allowed to vote, even if they did not attend assembly meetings Assembly members would get a copy of the motion, a list of arguments for and against it and a briof summary of remarks made during assembly debate, accord ing to Csonka"s proposal. But voting by secret ballot may be against the law, said Univer sity legal adviser Peter Swan. If the assembly is a governing body. Swan said, it must obey Oregon public meetings laws, which don't allow secret ballots Traditionally the assembly has been considered a governing body, he said However. Swan said if motions before the assembly were considered Initiatives, assembly members could vote on them secretly, like an elec tion. In that case, he said the assembly would serve as u pub lic forum instead of a governing body. Swan and law school Doan Dave Frohnmayer will analyze (he legal question during (he summer and report back to the senate next school year. Senate memtwrs who have vot ed for and against the new requirement supported the idea of a secret ballot. But some said they were con cerned with the way it was sug gested. "I'm troubled that this arises at a time when them is discussion cn an issue of race," said Honors College Director Barbara Pope "The secret ballot is in response to what some have called an enforcement of ideology. They're not looking al the requirement as about scholarship." Student Senator Brian Hoop said the assembly is the best place to have open, rational debate on issues "A secret mail ballot would lx a good excuse to avoid that debate." Hoop said The new race, gender and non European requirement is cur rently on the floor of the assem bly. so the senate could not amend it. senate President Mike Hibbard said. The assembly will resume disc ussion of the measure {line i, Hibbard said, unless an emergency meeting is called before then.
