Clemens Oregofi Daily EnwaitS The Tenant’s Council of West morelnnd Family Housing has lost its status as an official ASl/() program and must elect new rep resentatives and officers to regain the benefits of official recogni tion. Westmoreland failed to have elections las! April, and therefore the council is not legal in the eyes of the ASUO and Oregon state laws regarding public bodies The problem is a result of inat tention by last year's ASUO Exec utive and the Tenant's Council, said ASUO University Affairs coordinator Thomas Huckaba at .1 council meeting Monday. Huckaba said the frustration of the residents was understood hut that there were some "hoops to go through" before the council could make changes in West mureland complexes, like < rent ing new bylaws or building a new playground Todd New man-Barnhart. who has lieell acting as the council's leader, said he believed elections would Ire futile leaause the resi dents were not interested in working on the council. "We need to decide on a new governing body for Westmore land if that's what people want. ' said Newman-Barnhart, adding that he believed the sys tem currently on the books could not work. "We are not saying that the present administration is not working," Mohamed Pahnbulleh said. "It just n«ods a helping hand. Right now the entire (ten ant community of) Westmoreland is not being represented." The whole situation frustrated Newman Barnhart to the point were he left the count il meeting saying, "The ASUO has taken this over and I'm not going to burn myself out over this. I'm stepping out of the way tarry Gilbertson was also frus trated because the work ho has done trying to get a new play ground built for the area will Is* put on hold for even longer Uni versity Housing has agreed to give the project $1.00(1 that Uni versity Housing anti Gilbertson hoped the Incidental Foe Com mittee would match Hut the IKC cannot give money to an organi zation that the ASUO does not recognize The problems of getting the funds is further complicated In the fact that the summer IKC only has about $1,000 left in its ai ( omit Gilbertson worries that the playground will have to wait until the next school year Ixx uuse IKC funds will most likely lie spent by the time a new tenant's council, u group that Gilbertson desi ribes as being "less than a dominate Ion e around here.” is elei led. As for the new elections, the ASUO has dor ided that they will lie on Aug 2. which is the soon est they can possibly lie, accord ing to law But because the eight tenants that attended the meet ing doubted that volunteers would come forward to run for the positions, a group will go door-to-door in an effort to nwxuil interested people in the West moreland Complex tonight.
