before the discussion is open to
student questions.
Associate Professor of Law
Margie Paris will moderate the
discussion. She said students
should attend the meeting
whether they are informed about
the measures or not.
“These are complex and signif
icant issues that require a lot of
thought,” Paris said. “Students
tt These measures impact
crim victims in real life and
this is the perfect chance to
get real information about
them and push aside all the
legal jargon. j j
Steve Doell
President of Crime Victims
United of Oregon
should attend just to learn the ba
sics, but it would be great if some
students came with questions.”
Doell said students who do not
know about the issues especially
need to attend the meeting.
‘‘These measures impact crime
victims in real life and this is a per
fect chance to get real information
about them and push aside all the
legal jargon,” he said.
Beyond providing information,
Doell also hopes the meeting
changes the minds of some stu
dents who already have opinions
on the issues.
“I would like to change some
minds at the discussion, but I’m
not naive and that might not hap
pen,” he said. “I’ll give a clear pre
sentation on the measures and ex
plain the issues.”
Paris, who was a criminal jus
tice lawyer before she began
teaching criminal law and proce
dure at the University, said her
goal is to make sure all the pan
elists keep their information rele
vant to the issues.
The ASUO
What: A moderated town-hall dis
cussion on ballot measures 69-75.
Where: Room 110 of the Knight
Law Center.
When: 7 p.m.
Why: Students can learn about the
issues before casting their special
election ballots.
“I want to make sure they come
out with info directly relating to
the issues — the pros and cons
and what will happen if the mea
sures are passed,” she said.
With time running out for vot
ers to cast their ballots, Adkins
hopes this will motivate students
to make informed decisions on the
issues.
“My main focus overall is to get
students to vote,” he said. “But we
can’t tell them that if we don’t give
them the ability to become educat
ed voters.”

I am grateful to them for their

that flowers and cards not be sent

Senate confused by rules
Student
Senate
■ The Student Senate
debated whether granting
BSU requests violated
Green Tape regulations
By Jeremy Lang
Oregon Daily Emerald
Two special requests to the Stu
dent Senate sparked debate and
some confu
sion among
the senators
Wednesday
night regard
ing the rules
and regula
tions the
Senate must
follow.
Senators
debated a re
quest by the Black Student Union for
$463 of Senate surplus money to
cover a deficit in its fund raising bud
get. The full amount of the deficit is
$963, but BSU representatives at the
meeting said they were willing to
move $500 from other parts of its
budget to cover the balance.
The senators agreed they did not
want to disable the BSU’s ability to
function or fund raise but they
could not agree if the request violat
ed a rule in the Green Tape Note
book, the set of guidelines to which
the Senate must comply. The rule
states that student incidental fees
cannot be used for fund raising.
Senate president Jessica Tim
pany said the Senate has acciden
tally overlooked the rule before
and approved money for student
groups’ fund raising budgets, both
last year and this year.
Debate continued on a number
of solutions, including loaning the
money to the BSU or approving it
into another part of their budget,
and having the BSU return next
week to ask for a legal transfer
from that part into fund raising.
ASUO President Wylie Chen
said the senators first need to de
cide exactly what the rule means
and how it affects the BSU’s re
quest.
After the motion to loan the mon
ey was defeated, the Senators agreed
to table the issue indefinitely. The
rule itself will be discussed and clar
ified in the Senate’s Rules Commit
tee meeting next week.
A similar situation occurred
when the Homecoming Commit
tee requested $1500 for the home
coming dance on Oct. 29. Sen.
Shantell Rice explained the Senate
simply could not grant the request
for that large a sum of money.
“A rule in the Green Tape Note
book states that new groups such
as the Homecoming Committee
can only start with a budget of
$300 for their first year,” Rice said.
That issue was also tabled until
next week’s meeting.
“There’s a lot of room for im- - *
provement in [the Green Tape
Notebook] for the sake of clarity,”
Timpany said. “But I’m certain the
Rules Committee will be able to
handle the problems.”
The senators did move a step
closer to creating a full-time sen
ate treasurer position, who would
oversee the allocation of Senate
funds. The Senate elected Sen.
Scott Kolwitz as interim treasurer
until the Rules Committee can
amend the Green Tape Notebook
to allow for the new position.
The Student Senate is the leg
islative branch of the ASUO and
handles financial issues regarding
student programs. The Senate
meets at 7 p.m. every Wednesday
night in the EMU Board Room,
third floor. All students can attend
these meetings.
