In- H P Elections brief Election results remain secret As finals week approaches, ASUO Constitution Court Justice Daniel Veigamini said the results of this year’s ASUO Executive election might not be known until early next term. The Court sealed the outcome of the C.J. Gabbe/Peter Larson vs. Jay Breslow/Holly Magner executive race on March 2, the last day of the general election. Now, a string of grievances filed by Student Sen. Jennifer Gree nough and former presidential candidate Autumn DePoe against the Gabbe/Larson ticket have kept the results secret. The candidates were accused of breaking elections rules when they sponsored an International Student Coffee Hour Feb. 4. After a public hearing on the case, the court found Gabbe and Larson guilty of break ing the rules but kept them on the ballot because of technicalities. The ASUO Elections Board ruled last week to deny DePoe’s grievance attempting to have the pair removed from the ballot, and the court denied Greenough’s mo tion to reconsider the case. Once the court decides on De Poe’s appeal of the elections board decision, the results can be re leased, and the new executive can begin to transition into the job. Get on ’trak!

Internships continued from page 1 The Oregon Employment De partment predicts almost 30 per cent growth in the number of jobs available in the professional and technical fields by 2008. But for the University graduate looking to enter these fields, these optimistic figures may be misleading. The OED calculates growth based on total payroll employment for every firm in a given industry. The actual growth in jobs that Uni versity graduates are looking for may be less than the total growth for the industry, said Brenda Turner, a state occupational economist. Competition for the m ost sought after jobs will remain fierce even in the state’s strong economy, she said. Stainbrook credits her success in the job market to planning and preparation while still in college. And more than just in classes, “what I did outside of college was important,” she said. She had internships with Northwest Event Management, the Nike World Masters Games and a local investment company. At a talk she gave to a University Freshman Interest Group last No vember, she advised students to do the same thing. “Get involved in as many activi ties as you can, within the Univer sity and also outside of it,” she said. “You can’t expect just a college de gree to open up doors for you. ” Companies like Intel and Tek tronix are looking for people with finance and accounting back grounds, but graduates “still need to have connections,” Chang said. Internships allow students to “interact [with employers] and show that you’re more than just a piece of paper.” Student Advantage* Members receive 25% OFF Students receive 10% OFF with student ID • Student Advantage Members* get an additional 10% OFF the already discounted fare of 15% when you present this coupon and your Student Advantage Card. • Non-Student Advantage Members receive 10% OFF youT fare when you present this coupon and your student ID.
