Q4 So if you’re elected, do you ♦ have plans for appointing someone? A^It depends on whether the ♦ workload demands it. I don’t see it happening but it might be necessary. What do you consider the two ♦most pressing issues at the University, and what specific plans to you have to address those issues? A^Well, definitely the lack of ♦ left-handed facilities is the most pressing issue, and also I just wrant to make sure that as we strive for diversity on campus that we make sure to represent left-hand ed people ... I can’t remember the last time I saw a professor come in and write down his office hours with his left hand. Q^What are the strengths and ♦ weaknesses of this University? A^I’m a one-issue candidate, and ♦ I think the weaknesses are self evident, and I think I’ve made my self clear on that. Strengths: There are a lot of dedicated left-handed people here, they’ve just been swept under the carpet. When I raised the issue among acquaintances of mine about forming a left-handed student union, their response was over whelming. I think it’s time to go for ward with this kind of activism. If I’m not elected, I’ll form [a left-hand ed student union.] If I am elected I don’t think it will be necessary. Q# Could you critique Wylie ♦ [Chen] and Mitra [Anoushi ravani] as the current executive and tell us how you would do their job better? A4I’m not sure about their ♦ handedness, but, whether they’re right-handed or left-hand ed ... within the system they’ve done a fairly adequate job. O^And how would you do ♦ their job better? I would fight for left-handed ♦ liberation, and they have not done that. They have completely ignored the left-handed popula tion on campus. Q# How would you represent the ♦ University at the state level? A^I do not know [if Gov. John ♦ Kitzhaber is left-handed] but the right-handed people have had their way far too long in the legis lature and in state government. I would try to change that for the year that I’m in office. It would represent a group that has been ig nored for a long time. 04 Could you critique the di ♦ versity issue on campus? A41 think it’s important to work ♦ towards greater diversity. I’d say that the University right now, it’s not terribly diverse but it’s fair ly representative of how Oregon is at-large because Oregon as a state is not very diverse. But in working towards diversity, I think it would improve education quite a bit, and I think left-handed people are def initely included in that. Q^How do you see your rete ntion with the University ad ministration being? A# Depends on whether or not ♦ [University President Dave] Frohnmayer is left-handed or not. This is the third in a series of stories pro filing the ASUO Executive candidates. The Emerald will profile all of the candi dates before the ASUO primary election. -1 Inf!
