Lee manages tough balancing act
Bobby Lee says he brings
a student’s perspective to
bis job on the Eugene
City Council
By Michael Burnham
Community Editor
He attends graduate-level
classes at the University.
He works between 40 and 50
hours and pores over almost 300
pages of complex City Council is
sues each week without pay.
He receives between 20 and 25
calls and reads the same number
of e-mail messages relating to his
job in an average day.
He can’t leap buildings in a
single bound and he is not Super
man.
He is Bobby Lee, City Council
member and University graduate
student.
The month of January marks
the end of Lee’s first year of a
four-year term in office as the
City Council representative for
the University’s ward.
Lee, 29, attended the Universi
ty as an undergraduate public
policy and management major in
the late 1980s and early '90s,
where he served as ASUO presi
dent and a campus activist.
During his student career, Lee
facilitated the formation of the
ASUO Multicultural Center,
spearheaded the creation of cam
pus radio station KWVA 88.1
and helped start the Racial Advo
cacy Group for Equality, which
was formed to deal with griev
ances on hate crime-related is
sues.
After graduation from the Uni
versity, Lee took a year off from
school and worked for the Clin
ton-Gore presidential campaign,
Tom Bruggere’s senatorial cam
paign and as the chief of staff for
state Senator Susan Castillo.
So why does Lee choose to de
vote most of his time to juggling
the dual roles of Eugene politi
cian and University student?
“I really enjoy politics and the
energy and dynamics in being in
volved in a political culture,” he
saia. Howev
er, he chuck
led, this
means he
“basically
does not
have any so
cial life at
this point.”
"Being on
campus is a
reliet to me ggg1™
because I Ltt
don't have to
talk about politics,” he said, “but
outside of campus is a different
issue.”
Lee has tried to use his life as a
University student to help with
his job as a City Council mem
ber.
"I’ve tried to essentially create
a different kind of relationship
between the city and the Univer
sity,” he said, “and more specifi
cally between the administration
and the students.”
Lee described his role as a
“middle man" in creating and
sustaining existing city relation
ships with the University ward.
“From the city’s standpoint,
I’m their boss,” he said.
In the past year, Lee has
worked with the ASUO and stu
dents from the West University
neighborhood, an area that was
home last term to two riots and
the focus of student rental rights.
Lee said some rental problems
have developed and there has
been a lack of past council atten
tion because of the high turnover
rate for renters. He is currently
working with student govern
ment on a proposed housing
code that would create habitabili
ty standards. A draft of the code
was completed last year when it
was briefly reviewed by the City
Council.
"The least thing we could do is
to provide (students) with ade
quate housing,” he said.
It has been easier to have a
working relationship with an ac
tive ASUO and student body be
cause of his past experience in
the office and the student insight
he brings to his office as a City
Council member, he said.
Current ASUO President Bill
Miner has been working with Lee
on many issues during the past
year and expressed his apprecia
tion for Lee as a valuable re
source for the University.
“It's valuable to have a Univer
sity student on the campus who
votes for the council," Miner
said. “I hope another student
steps up to the plate and runs for
the council when Bobby’s tenure
is over.”
Although Lee described his
first year on the council as
“tough,” he said his life as a stu
dent has helped him communi
cate with his ward.
“The best part of being a coun
cilman is being a student,” he
said. “Students are more idealis
tic and possess a raw intelli
gence. 1 would have not run
without a presence like the [Uni
versity] in this district.”
