ell© every
one! Are
you surviv
ing f.ilI
fertn .’ Ir has
Ix-en fast
and difficult
for .ill of us.
I lu- AS! ' ' Has been busy
with many projo. is
We have Ix-en working
hard on our voter revolt.i
lion drive. I ’ of O has a
reputation for student
ac tivistn. More students
registered to vote here in
92 and ‘94 than any other
college.
It you have not regis
tered yet, you will not he

We will w ak to give

Room, 1 Ml NX< are
attempting to bring the lest
of the candidates to cam
pus.
Another projec I that I
am working on is pn»posed
thanges in the Affirmative
Action Office oik a mpus.
As you ma\ have lu-.ud,
many students have com
plained about problems in
the affirmative ac t ii >n
puxe,v> that range from
inadequate response tunes
to Ix-ing told that they
could not file formal
complaints about harass
ment.
I believe that students
need to have a place yvhere
we can go wiili our prob
lems where we know they
can be solved. Becau.sc the
Affirmative Action Ofhee
is part of the l mversitv, it
is m a position of Kith
trying to ensure student
needs are met as well as
trying to conrrihute to the
success of the university as
a whole In such cases, the
student's interests are
usually
adverse
to the
l ’lUWTJtV''
and
often the
[ Vuu-rays
needs
win.
This
con flu t
of
interest
IK ed' to I H- [ftn« 1\ I d It
students art* to feci sate on
campus. I In- Affirmative
Ac non Office needs to be
taken off i am pus where n
can invest it;.tie and decide
these cases with true
neutraht\ and fairness as
an independeni, third party
to the conflk t.
I want to assure you that
it you do have problems
on campus, you can call
the Office of Student
Advah. as y at Ht' <722.
I he people in this office

■l
.B
is almost
here and ir
seems like classes just
started I he rigors of
academic life will turn us
all into coffee addicts.
I have
fi >und
that

lireat
deal of
mtlu'
eiu e on
our
aca
demic
life.
I here are rune .u auerou
student senators who
represent academic Inter
e.sts on campus These
senators and myself re
cent!y formed the Ac a
demic Counc il.
! he Academic (’ounc il
will focus its attention on
issues ranging from
c urrtc iilm to tenure. We
es ant to foe us on iTwinges
that will increase the level
of ac ademic quality on
c ampus 'students are
paying more for their
education and I believe
that students have a vested
interest in ensuring the
quality of that education.
The ms idental fee
budget process has started
for next year II is my
responsihlity to make
recommendations on eac h

approval on the budgets I
cannot do this without

In avidinon to working
w it fa all the hranc hes of

making sure the inc idental
fee process operates
smoothly and effectively, I
have been working to make
sure that students' voices
are heard at all levels.>t the
l mversity governing
structure.
Although the uphill
battle to increase student
votes on the l niversity
Senate has not yet been
won, I have appointed
students to over fifty voting
seats on l!niversity com
mtifecs, the working groups
that make policy dec.isions
or rev i >mmenJat!Ons on
issues that range from what
the library could do better
to what courses are going
to lx- taught next year. As

trators to ensure that no

the student body.

MARTIN FISHER, SENATE PRESIDENT
I he A SI JO Student
Senate, which a I Ilk ates
your incidental student
tees, has been hard at work
1 all Term ensuring services
and programs continue to
operate m a manner that
In-st serves student inter
ests.
I he Senate has alienated
emergency funding to keep
the Amazon Childcare Co
op operating during this
transition period, we have
provided funding to expand
the ability of Legal Services
to represent the growing
number of students in need
of legal assistance and
funded the Designated
Driver Shuttle so that no
student needs to drink md
drive.
T he Senate has also
funded several cultural
opportunities tor students,
including a theater troupe
exchange between the
University and a Taiwanese
theater troupe and have
provided funding for
several important
mult u ultural speakers.
1 he Senate is looking
forward to the possibility of
purchasing several new
computers for student
programs in addition to the
18 computers bought last
year.
In conjunction with the
Outdoor Program and
others, the Senate is
exploring the possibility ot
providing locator beacons
ior students who choose to
explore the forests and
mount a ins of Oregon.
These items are in response
to the recent events sur
rounding two University
students missing from their
planned mountain-climb
ing trip.
If you have any com
ments, suggestions or ideas
for the Student Senate,
please contact us at 346
