Power for women
Thi* yew wilt he the year tor
women lo gain voice, power end
experience Women need in be
intimately involved with the
political pnxwM on the nation
al and campus level. Decisions
affecting the campus environ
ment and the use of fee dollars
are being decided ior us all I urge
women to think about getting
involved in the decision-making
process by running for an ASUO
Office or Senate seel
As women, we need to be
involved with the campus at ail
levels, but particularly in deci
sions over issues affecting
women and their future* Run
ning for an elected office tan also
give women valuable networking
and organizing experience
A* national elections move
toward their conclusion In
November, many issue* and con
cerns will come to the forefront
Already, individual* are offering
up rhetoric that will affix t every
one on this campus
i strongly urge women to think
about i mtributing their voices to
the lUOfi ASUO election process
and extending those voices to the
national elections as well.

Only one reason
There seem* to be some con

funding for the Ad Team line
item In the Ad Club'* budget at

|<>*»{>h Mahe'S letter lo the edi
lor (ODE. Feb 2ft) claimed this
line item was cut because of "a
lack of student involvement in
the club's ma|ar event ” This
couldn't be further from the truth
In (act. the only reason the Ad
Team line item received any
funding at all wu because sev

While the PH. realise* the Ad

many students could benefit
Furthermore, because the Ad
Teem is not open to other student*
who may wish to participate,
funding the club * travel would
he an unwise and unethical way
to spend student money
As far as fundraising gam. there
are many groups on campu* that
