ASUO registers 3,000 students
By Edward Klopfenstein
Oregon l'fM> fmvrakl
The ASUO’s voter registration
drive (nil 1,0(M) voters short of its
4,000 student goal, the student
official organizing the drive said
Wednesday
Phil Bentley, ASUO slate
affairs coordinator, said the dri
ve i tainted more than 2.400 stu
dents registering through the
A.SI IQ offi< e and another 500 to
700 students who registered
directly with the Lane County
Kim tion ()ffi< e
The ASUO requested results
onh from the polling districts
near tiie University and near
Westmoreland Family Housing
on West IKth Avenue and Arthur
St r**et
The next highest voter regis
tration drive results < umii from
Oregon State t Jnivnrsity The stu
dent government there registered
1,200 students
Other figures include. Eastern
()n>goil State ( ci! lege 250. W es!
ern Oregon Stole College — .150;
and Southern Oregon State Col
lege - 325.
“Compared with what other
schools aid, this school did real
grout," Bentley said.
Ijist year, the ASt >0 surpassed
its registration goal of more than
4.000 students. But this year's
final number of aftout 3.000 was
still respectable. Bentley said,
because the ASUO was the only
organization on (ampus request -
ingthat students register
Most student organizations
pushed voter registration last year
because passionate issues like
state Ballot Measure 9 presented
a compelling reason to register,
he said
This year's central issue, state
Ballot Measure 1, the state sales
tax measure, is still vital to stu
dent interests, he said, because it
could provide a new funding
sourt e for the state's education
system.
The outcome will depend on
whether registered voters for the
measure actually vote.
■'This is an election where the
outcome is w ith the people who
vote." he said "If the yes people
vote, then this will pass. But if
the yes people sn at nome ano
<lm (tie not to vole, then the peo
ple who vote no will win."
The ASUO is switching gears
from its voter registration drive
to a "get out and vote” effort that
will focus on motivating students
to get to the polls, he said
Although no educational
forums are currently scheduled,
the ASUO will be canvassing the
campus with volunteers, remind
ing students to vote on Election
Day next Tuesday
Bentley said this phase of the
ASUO's voting c ampaign will
also be based at the ASt O office.

Ballot Measure 1 or where to vote
