Groups competing for EMU offices face new rules Tasha Eichenseher CXoort Osfy f merakJ Stridor guidelines for holding offii e s(xm* in the EMU are now in effect Ixtimw organizations that have either no office space or inadequate space are seeking offices. "l-ast year in the house committee we went through and revised space criteria." EMU Board Mouse Committee Chair woman Shannon Varney said at Wednes day night's meeting. Corporations dole out dollars to candidates SALEM (AP) — With his trademark blue jeans and cow boy boots, John Kitzhaber often fins been called the Marlboro Man of Oregon politics Maybe that explains why Phillip Morris USA gave him $3,000. The Democratic candidate for governor listed the tobacco giant's contribution on the cam paign finance report he submit ted to the state this week. Actually, Republican Denny Smith got a $3,000 contribution from Phillip Morris as well. Big corporate interests such as Phillip Morris like to spread campaign money around as a way of sowing good will with whomever might 1m the next governor. Still, given Kltzhaber's posi tion as possibly the state's best known physician and author of the Oregon health plan, the $3,000 contribution stands out. It would be like Denny Smith, that well-known spotted owl basher, to list a large contribu tion from the Sierra Club kit/.baber notes that he built a strong record of opposing smok ing and supporting cigarette lax hikes while in the Legislature He says he makes no apology for accepting the Phillip Morris donation. "If they want to use their resoun es to promote an anti smoking candidate, that's great," Kitzhalier says. An Oregon Heart Association spokeswoman isn't so sure about that. "Well, I'm disappointed," Margaret Mitchell says "He's always been so positive with respect to anti-tobacco issues." The cigarette maker's contri bution is just one of the details in the voluminous campaign finance reports submitted by the candidates for governor this week. Smith's support is anchored in the timber industry. The reports showed he has received more than $200,000 — a quarter of his campaign war chest — from timber interests. Smith spokeswoman Elaine Franklin says that's not surpris ing. given Smith's criticism of federal environmental laws. Smith's top individual con tributors generally gave larger amounts than Kitzhaber's indi vidual contributors. Conversely, the political action committees backing Kitzhaber gave more than the FACs backing Smith. Does this mean that the fat cats an? tucking Smith while the political groups are behind Kitzhaber? Franklin offers this assess ment: "Denny is a watchdog for the taxpayers, not a lapdog for the unions." Kitzhaber says Kitzhaber has received a lot more contributions from Oregonians than Smith and from more diverse groups. Group* that have office sp«<« nvod to respond to a notti e issued by the com mittee by Oct 21 or they will be declared inactive. The notice, dated Sept. 26. states that for an organization to k.<*»p its sjvm* it must maintain at least 10 regular office hours per week during normal business hours, produce a roster of at least seven active members, demonstrate activity by the fourth week of fall term, which ends Oct 21. and respond to all KMU Board of Dins - tons' requests. Of the f>4 groups with office space in the EMU for the 1994-95 school year. 20 had responded to the committee notic e as of Oct. 11. Stricter guidelines were written because the EMU Board "should Im able to start earlier than Innuary or February giving people office space." said Frank (ieltner, EMU assoc cate direc tor. Once offic e space opens up, the com mittee- will have to dec ide which of the 14 groups (hut have filed requests will receive an omen. "Sometime after the 2»th we ll have to look at 14 entities and decide vs hat we want to weigh more importantly than something else." Geltner said. According to (ieltner. the committee will fill the first available spaces by looking at what services the gn>up offers, if its activ ities overlap with the activities of other groups and if it already has spm e in the EMU STOLEN FOR PROFIT How the Medical Establishment is Funding ^ a National Pet-theft Conspiracy A pmenialum a**\ird M-inrunx* b 'urruilist *»ui tiuiht r Judith Reitman Friday, Oct. 14,7:30pm, Walnut Room, EMU sponsored by SETA and CARE 485 2237 Q*t results.
