Student Senate to fill vacant seats Applications and recommendations should be received by the end of next week By James Scripps Oregon Daily Emerald Familiar faces were missing from Wednesday’s Student Sen ate meeting, as three of the 17 seats were empty going into the new year. Senators who left their posts include Jeff Kershner, busi ness senator; Selena Brewington, science sena tor and Taryn Tarv er, Athletic Department finance sena tor. A S U O Vice Presi dent Morgan Cowling said recommen Student Senate dations for the empty seats should be made by the end of next week. "Although we have had some applicants, we are hoping that the candidate pool will be larger by the end of this week,” Cowl ing said. One chair on the Programs Fi nance Committee is also vacant. In other business, the senate also approved four ASUO Elec tion Board appointments during Wednesday’s meeting. The Election Board will over see the special election February 17-18 and spring elections for the 1999-2000 school year. The senate approved Jason Gold, Elections Board manager; Stephanie Chaney, Elections Board office manager; Laura Lu cas, Elections Board publicity co ordinator and Natalie Carlson, Elections Board voter education coordinator. Mitra Anoushiravani was ap proved to a vacant EMU Board seat. Due to an accounting error, the Women’s Center requested a line item transfer of $933.24 from payroll to a health care refund ac count for employees. The subcommittees updated the senate on plans for winter quarter. The Programs Finance Committee will start holding budget hearings Jan. 11. The PFC is also looking to fill an empty seat. The EMU board senator rep resentatives informed the sen ate of an estimated $4,500 fund for student groups to utilize for events in the EMU Ballroom. Senator Sarah Wiley said the EMU had asked student groups what they needed from the EMU to improve their pro gramming, so this fund was created. Senator Tamir Kriegel had con cerns about the use of the fund. “1 don’t think that any group should have a slush fund of mon ey that I don’t know about,” Kriegel said. “It’s not right.” Grab & Go Continued from Page 1 meal, they can use it at some other time. This allows stu dents to save up meals and spend them all at the end of the week before the meal plan rolls over for the next week. That plan can be particularly strenu ous on the Grab ’n Go, where Housing has now set out boxes for residents to take their food away. The convenience of taking food from dining areas is a new concept and an example of Hous ing’s response to customer de mands, Eyster said. “I feel like we took a big step toward providing that with this program,” he said. But the Grab ’n Go system hasn’t been praised by every one. Many students have com plained about the overcrowding of the normal cafeterias by stu dents who don’t want to use Grab 'n Go. Others are upset about the amount of junk food Grab 'n Go offers. It has every thing from candy bars to Tic Tacs. White estimated that about half of the menu is healthy food. Sushi and salad are a staple food in Grab ’n Go, along with tofu, fruit and bottled water. Housing, which became a non smoking entity last year, has steadfastly refused requests to sell tobacco products, Eyster said. “The choice is the student’s,” Eyster said, and Housing is sim ply providing what its customers are asking for. If White agrees to honor a request, he can call Cost co or one of his other four ven dors and have the item delivered the next day. Hut Grab ’n Go has consistent ly popular and easy items for stu dents to take, such as bagels and sandwiches. And that's exactly what senior William Yeung said he likes about Grab ’n Go. Yeung, who lives in Garson, takes 18 credits and only gets an hour break for lunch. "The cafeteria is crowded,” he said, “especially during the lunch hour. Grab 'n Go is more reasonable.” If Yeung doesn’t make it to Grab 'n Go, then he said he just doesn’t eat. The positive reaction Housing is getting may start paying off fi nancially down the line. As an entity financially independent from the University, Housing has suffered in the past two years from the booming growth of off campus housing. When the halls were opened at the beginning of the year, two were empty. But over the winter break, one was fdled. “We seemed to have lost a few less students than usual,” Eyster said. "We seem to have added more students than we usually do.” And even more encouraging, he said, is that some students are choosing to move back into the residence halls from their off-campus apartments and houses. But the program will not re main static, Eyster said. "I think it’s important to em phasize that part of the program is that it’s designed to be con stantly evolving,” he said. The EMU Craft Center is a comprehensive Arts Program offering well equipped facilities and workshops in many areas of the Visual Arts. We are located in the ERB Memorial Union at the University of Oregon. f Fiber Arts \ Beginning Weaving Wednesday, Jan 20-Feb 24 6:30-9:30pm Term Pass Required Spinning Saturday, Jan 30-Feb 20 Term Pass Required Frame Loom Weaving $45.00 11:00am-1:30pm $32.00 Monday, Jan 25-Mar 1 6:30-9:00pm $48.00 w/term pass $52.00 w/out pass Knitting & Crochet Monday, Feb 8-Mar 1 6:30-9:00pm $40.00 w/term pass Arashi Shibori Sunday, Feb 21-Mar 7 $31.00 w/term pass Felt Making Saturday, Feb 20-Mar 6 $36.00 w/term pass Fleece Hats Monday, Jan 25-Feb 8 $25.00 w/term pass Egg Baskets Sunday, Jan 31-Feb 7 $28.00 w/term pass $44.00 w/out pass 12:30-4:30pm $35.00 w/out pass 2:00-5:00pm $40.00 w/out pass 6:30-9:00pm $29.00 w/outpass 1:00-4:00pm $32.00 w/out pass Photography Photo Refresher Wednesday, Jan 27 -Feb 3 6:00-9:00pm Term Pass Required $20.00 Printing and Handcoloring Sunday, Feb 7-28 1:30-4:30pm $26.00 w/term pass $30.00 w/out pass Large & Med.
