■ LETTERS the ASt’Q e.xw uftvp bv people who art) awnrii and who have shown their commitment to women's issues as well as to issues that affect society. That is why I am voting for Jennifer Williamson and /.ah Kelton Both have demonstrated to me and to uil of the students that attend the University that they are concerned with how our school mirrors larger society and that they are concerned with women's place in society Williamson's active involve ment in women's issues has made an especially large impact on me. Williamson, unlike Scott, has been involved in a host of events and programs that demonstrate her commitment to creating a campus society that is a community Jennifer understands that this kind of a campus cannot exist if violent acts occur or if women and minorities ore underrepresent ed She has been an intern for the Feminist Majority Fund and Foundation in Washington. D C Williamson has been an active volunteer for both the ASUO Women's Center and Saferide. 1 have personally worked with Jennifer in orga ni/.mg this year s and last year s Take Hack the Night marches. These marches work to make people aware of the fact that violent e against women < urt' everywhere, even on this cam pus and that violence against women is a societal issue, not just a women’s issue Both this year and last year, it was Jennifer who got the hall roiling so that Take Back the Night would o< cur. Events like Take Back the Night can occur only if women, like Jennifer Williamson, are wholehearted ly committed to ending vio lence against women and to creating a campus community in which women do not have to walk the streets or go out on dates in fear. Jennifer has also been an Unwanted Sexual Behaviors Task Force intern for the past two years. Her work there has helped to educate students, both men and women, about unwanted sexual behavior and about what we can do as indi viduals to stop this problem All of Jennifer Williamson’s work at the University ha* into grated, in some way, a commit ment to creating a community on campus and educating stu dent* about how they can do so Women and men need Jennifer in the ASUO executive next year Although I do not doubt Niki Scott's commitment to women's issues, her experi ence in this area pale* in com parison to that of Jennifer Williamson When it comes down to it. we simply need to Ive represented by people who will actively he involved fast experience is the only proof that I know of demonstrating that active and effective repre sentation at the extH utive level will occur. Williamson has demonstrated through her dedi <ation and active involvement m the ASUO Women's Center. Take Bai k the Night. Saferide and thu Unwanted Sexual Behaviors Task Force that she is deserving of the ASUO exe< utive position Jennifer Williamson and 7,a< h Kelton an* the candidates who should lie elected to the ASUO execu tive and they have my vote Jennifer Carter Journalism Go OSPIRG! I would like to take tonm time to mention some of the great n( i omplishments OSPIRG had Inst term The environmen tal education group went into eight schools, including KMt' child (.are nod Amazon child care and taught students about recycling, endangered species and toxin*. The recycling group held an educational rally on campus and was also success ful in making recycling easier in the dorms. OSPIRG also sent two stu dents to Philadelphia for an environmental leadership con ference These students then came home and held a leader ship c onference of their own. relaying what they learned to students in this community All of these experiences are invalu able learning tools that are very important to the enhancement of this university l am thankful that OSPIRG provides a place fur this type of learning to hap pen. Katy Anthes Anthropology Very interesting it is vtifv Interesting that, at this late date. Mike l.vster has finally become concerned about the cost of replacing Amazon This is the same Director of Mousing who kept the Phase I apartments entirely empty (although in prw isely the same condition as the currently occu pied Phase II apartments) for more than a year at a loss of at least $17,500 per month This is the same director of housing who was unw illing to consider rehabilitation, whn h will cost millions less than new construction. even if rehabilitation runs over cost projects by 200 percent This !-, the same diret tor of housing who does not want to consider management problems at Mousing as a reason w hy the Ins: two Mousing projtx ts have been unable to come in at less than SHOO per month for a two bedroom apartment (A rehabilitated Amazon apartment — rehabilitated, that is, to the same standards as new construction would he less than S iOO) This same director of housing who allowed Amazon to suffer from “deferred maintenance'' so that there would lie $.i mil lion in overdue repairs — so that now he can say that it must he replaced (at a cost of SlH million)!).
