ASUO loses two senators
■ The student senators cite
political and personal
reasons for resignations
By Jeremy Lang
Oregon Daily Emerald
Last term it was grievances.
This term, it’s resignations.
At Wednesday night’s Student
Senate meeting, for the second
week in a row, two student sena
tors announced their resignations.
Sens. David Sanchez and Eric
Pfeiffer announced they were leav
ing the senate. Pfeiffer stepped
down as ombudsman last week.
At the meeting, Sanchez told the
senate he had to quit due to person
al reasons that were causing him to
leave school for the rest of the term.
He said he would miss his fellow
senators and called them strong
people who were an integral part of
his successes. He also said he
would try to be appointed to senate
when he returns next year.
Pfeiffer, however, did not leave
the senate on such good terms. He
was absent from the meeting and
announced his resignation through
a letter read by ASUO Vice Presi
dent Mitra Anoushiravani. Like the
other senators who quit last week,
Pfeiffer did not say he was resign
ing over the grievances that plagued
the senate last term. But that did not
• stop him from attacking the ethics
of some of the senators.
“I guess you’re so used to being
able to push people around that
when someone tries to work with
you, either your own egos or igno
rance take precedence over any
logic or humanity that may be
lurking in your hollow souls,”
Pfeiffer said in his letter.
Pfeiffer and Sanchez’s depar
tures have added to a growing
number of vacancies throughout
the ASUO. In the coming weeks,
the senate will have to approve a
new member to the Programs Fi
nance Committee, four new sena
tors and three justices to the ASUO
Constitution Court, which are ex
pected to begin at next week’s
meeting. The appointments are
made by the ASUO Executive and
must all be approved by the senate.
The constitution court is cur
rently missing the necessary
judges to decide on a grievance
filed in November by senior Scott
Austin against the summer stu
dent senators. The senate tried to
appoint a new justice Wednesday
night, but ASUO rules kept them
from doing so.
The senate also approved Jen
nifer Greenough to die open om
budswoman position. Greenough
was appointed without a vote be
cause the other nominee, Sen. Je
reme Grzybowski, did not turn in
the necessary paperwork before
the meeting. Greenough said that,
Student senate
Sens. David Sanchez and Eric
Pfeiffer announced their resigna
tions from the senate. It is the sec
ond week in a row two senators
have resigned.
The senate will start approving
people to the four open senate po
sitions, three open ASUO Constitu
tion Court positions and a Pro- ,
grams Finance Committee
position next week.
if the senate wishes, she’ll step
down and allow for an actual vote
to be taken.
The Student Senate is the legisla
tive branch of the ASUO and han
dles financial issues regarding stu
dent programs. The senate meets at 7
p.m. every Wednesday night in the
EMU Board Room, third floor. All
students can attend these meetings.
Eugene airport anticipates face-lift
■ Planners discuss
potential enhancements
to facilities based on
increased demand
By Brian Goodell
Oregon Daily Emerald
Representatives from the Eu
gene and Springfield City Coun
cils and the Lane County Board
of Commissioners held a public
hearing at Eugene City Hall
Wednesday night on proposed
amendments to the Eugene Air
port Master Plan.
The Master Plan, originally
drafted in 1990, is a long-term so
lution to the recent increase in
demand for air travel to and from
the Eugene/Springfield area. The
1999 amendments to the plan in
clude rezoning airport property
to accommodate more parking
and the construction of a parallel
runway east of the primary run
way.
“This is a demand-driven plan,
a flexible plan,” Airport Manager
Mike Boggs said. “It improves
safety from an operational stand
point and provides the greatest
reduction in delay among the al
tematives.”
With safety recommendations
from the Federal Aviation Ad
ministration and growth projec
tions for the next ten years, air
port and city officials added the
proposal for a new runway to the
1999 Master Plan amendments.
“The plan is fiscally conserva
tive and operationally adequate,”
Airport Advisory Committee
Member Phil Groshong said. “I
strongly recommend that we ap
prove this. It’s a good plan that
will serve the community well.”
Based on the proposals, the
city will need to rezone its cur
rent property to account for the
new construction projects. Many
citizens at the meeting expressed
their appreciation with airport
and city officials for including
them in the project planning.
Some, however, expressed dis
appointment at the amendment’s
proposed zoning of airport proper
ty. Clear Lake Estates is the most
densely populated area immedi
ately bordering the airport bound
ary, and the proposed rezoning
would potentially bring construc
tion within feet of the area’s resi
dents.
“We are emphatically opposed
to the rezoning of this property,”
Clear Lake Estates resident Verne
Airport expansion
Who: Eugene and Springfield
City Councilsand the lane Coun
ty Board of Commissioners
What: Public hearing on proposed
amend ments to the Eugene Ai r
port Master Plan
Why: Safety recommendations
from the FAA and growth projec
tions will require expansion of
airport facilities. Five amend
ments to the original master
plan are under consideration to
improve safety and cut down on
delays.
Upcoming actions: Eugene City
Council will vote on amendments
Feb.14
Whittaker said. “Tlje potential
impact to my family, along with
the 60 plus residents will likely
be substantial and offensive.”
The Eugene City Council will
vote Feb. 14 to accept the pro
posed amendments to the master
plan.
