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.

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.”
