I -—_______ mursaay, May n, 2000— I IA Cast Your Vote for Your 2000-2001 Bookstore Board Freshman Position 1 person to be elected for a 1-year term. Charles Holding: My position as one of eight students on the Board of Directors for the University Bookstore would be representative of second year students. I am a second year student. I have some experi ence in democracy because I was involved in the youth and government program called the Cali fornia Model Legislature and Court run by the YMCA. As a member on the board, I would like to see the Bookstore use books that are printed on recycled paper and free popcorn for people waiting in line. Student-at-Laree Position 1 person to be elected for a 2-year term Kenneth Best: The University of Oregon Bookstore has a tradi tion of excellence, success, and dedication to the students. The responsibility of maintaining this tradition lies in the hands of the students and fac ulty on the Bookstore Board of Directors. Be cause the Bookstore is the primary source of course books, it has become an integral part of all university students lives and education. We all have our opinions about the UO Bookstore, and I want to use those opinions as constructive criticism to help improve the Bookstore, or as compliments as to what we should continue to do. This past year I have served on the Board as Vice President, but unfortunately I was only able to serve for a one-year term. I believe that one year on the Bookstore Board of Directors is not enough for someone to really understand how things work, and then use that knowledge to its potential. That is why I am seek ing a second term; so that I can use the knowledge gained this year to more effectively advocate for students next year. Lameron Clarke: My name is Cameron Clarke. I am running for the Student-at-Large Position on the University of Oregon Bookstore Board. I heard about the Book store Board through a friend who served on the board in the past. He really enjoyed the knowl edge and experience that he gained in making sure that the student voice was heard. The skills that I have acquired in a number of pursuits have prepared me for a position on the board. I am ma joring in psychology with a minor in computer and infor mation sciences. I spend about ten hours a week working with The International Society for Technology in Educa tion, through the work-study program. I am also a member of the student volunteer program at PeaceHealth Medical Center. As a member of a fraternity, I have gained firsthand experience concerning the organization of a board. Through my involvement with extra-curricular activities around The U of 0 campus, I have many valuable qualities to offer the board. I would really appreciate it if you would give me the opportunity to voice your concerns and ideas to the Bookstore Board. Vote Cameron Clarke for The UO Bookstore Student-at Large position. Thank you very much! Cameron Clarke Katie Kelly: (No photo or candidate statement available) Jennifer Dunyoni (No photo available) Let me start by offering you my heartfelt thanks for taking the time to read what so many others, unfortunately, will choose to skip over. Now let me continue by giving you a bit of autobiographical information. My name is Jennifer Dunyon. I separated from the United States Air Force last year after having served four years as a Cryptologic Lin guist. During my term of service, I attended college at night and on weekends, enabling me to earn an AA (with honors) in Foreign Language with a Korean emphasis. I also completed courses for the military-specific CCAF de gree in Communications Intelligence. I enrolled at the Uni versity of Oregon last term as a transfer student majoring in Linguistics. My service and studies have reinforced my belief that efforts to improve yourself and your communi ty are inextricably linked. We all have a responsibility to do whatever we can, large or small, to make sure that our peers have a successful and, hopefully, enjoyable time while studying at this institution. It is because of this that I have chosen to run for a seat on the Board of Directors of the University Bookstore. Elect me and I will pledge to work with other Board members to ensure that you can easily obtain the materials necessary for your course work, along with a healthy mix of supplies to help foster and show off your Duck Spirit. GO DUCKS! Sue Ryan: I am Sue Ryan. I am enrolled as a junior in pre Journalism. I went to the Bookstore Annual Meet ing out of curiosity and not with a plan to run for the board. I took the initiative to run as a candi date because of the low turnout of students at the annual cooperative meeting. I won’t take sides on the Johnson Hall protest issue, but I will state that my candidacy was prompted from seeing those protestors advocating their interests. My qualifi cations include being an older individual, with about 20 years of work experience. I have volunteered on boards of different organizations, including Habitat for Humanity and 4-H youth programs. Currently, I serve on the board of the Chatcolab Northwest Regional Leadership Laboratory. Our organization promotes recreation through leadership. I am involved in Chatcolab as a teacher, registrar and also serve on the promotions committee. I am also a cost-con scious consumer and a student. My inclination would be to help make the bookstore function in the best way possible as a cooperative for the student body. Damon IVIartichuslci: (No photo available) You are probably asking yourselves: “Bookstore Board of Directors? Who cares?!” Well, as foreign as it may sound, I do. I’m David Martichuski and I am asking you, the student body, to allow me to represent you on the Board of Direc tors. Having grown up in Eugene, I have observed the vari ous changes in the Bookstore over the past 19 years. Now as a U of O student, I would like to be an instrumental part in future changes. Our independently run Bookstore is go ing to begin an expansion project. In addressing this up coming project it is important for our Board members to have vision, organizational skills, and a keen understand ing of the University community. I am an energetic and en thusiastic candidate for one of the eight student positions on the 11-member Board. Let’s elect a student who will be dedicated to representing the student body and bringing our bookstore to the pinnacle of service. My name is David Martichuski and I can be that student. Consider voting for me on May 10th and 11th for the University of Oregon Bookstore Board of Directors. Thanks! Sophomore Position 2 persons to be elected for a 2-year term David Sanchez: Greetings! My name is David Sanchez, and I am running for the Bookstore Board, Sophomore Seat. There are many reasons behind my candida cy for the Bookstore Board. The first reason is that the student voice is the primary voice on the Bookstore Board. What is most appealing about the structure of the Bookstore Board is this fac tor: student voice. Currently, I serve as an elected Student Senator and I understand how the stu dent voice is heard within our University. Because of my knowledge of our system, I feel that the Bookstore ooard exemplifies student power. Secondly, the Bookstore has immeasurable potential in serving its constituency. As a student living within the greater Eugene community, I feel that the Bookstore has an obligation to offer the highest quality of goods and services. The Bookstore has exciting plans of expansion. While serving as a Bookstore Board member, I plan to offer my experience and knowledge of student issues to ensure that this process of expansion is beneficial to all student needs. In the end, I want to be part of a Board that recognizes student voices and utilizes our talents. Vote for me, David Sanchez for the Bookstore Board, Sophomore Seat! Christina Scriven: The reasons for which I have chosen to run for the University of Oregon Bookstore Board are simple. I want experience working with a commit tee that is actively dedicated to operating in an ef ficient, economical and timely manner. I want to be a part of a team that provides the best possible customer satisfaction while continuing to build its relationships within the University of Oregon. As a Sophomore Board Member, I will do my best to go above and beyond the standard to reach these goals. Write-in-Grad. Student Position 1 person to be elected for a 2-year term Amalia Nita: WE all should have a word to say in decisions that affect US. Like how OUR Bookstore effectively en hances OUR educational experience at the UO. The UO campus is a thriving, varied, academic community where WE, the graduate students, spend an important part of OUR lives. The UO Bookstore is a part of the picture.

Don’t deprive the graduate population from the opportunity to contribute to a better Bookstore. Elect OUR representative, Amalia Nita, MBA 2001! To make OUR word heard and have OUR ideas known WE have to speak up. Ability to listen, convey, and transform messages into action is critical.

Faculty-at-large Position t person to be elected for a 2-year term Jam. ,JZ 'T :C ... Shelley Sutherland: When I first became a member of the Bookstore Board, I did so because I thought I could be help ful in implementing the newly developed long range plan. As a faculty representative, I thought the components of that plan were important to my colleagues. I thought it was essential to ad dress the over-crowded facilities and to be re sponsive to the technological needs of both stu dents and faculty. Tremendous improvements have been made in these and other areas. Improvements include the new branches in the Casanova Center and the Law School and making sure these new facilities meet the needs of the users. Other improvements include the effort to provide resources for those needing computer technol ogy and the re-organization of the general book section of the bookstore. The transition phase, is however, still very much in progress. Much more needs to be done to make our Bookstore a truly first class facility. I want to continue to be a part of this progress. I have some goals that I desire to pursue. I also want to provide both students and faculty with increased discounts and I want to provide faculty with a comfortable place to examine and choose curriculum materials. My experiences, my interest and my willingness to contribute to the continued progress of the Bookstore qualify me for another term. Classified Staff or Officer of Administration Position 1 person to be elected for a 2-year term Joann ZumBrunnen: As a University administrator who has daily con tact with prospective UO students and their fami lies, who frequent the Bookstore, I have first hand experience with the quality, responsiveness, and support the UO Bookstore provides its con stituents. It is this reputation of quality that en tices me to become a member of the UO Book store Board of Directors. I am interested in the challenges that lie ahead, such as meeting the technological, academic, and retail needs of students and instructional faculty. I am excited about the planned ex pansion and additions of current physical space and sup port the continuous changes associated with meeting pa trons’ needs. Throughout my tenure on the University Bookstore Board of Directors I will provide active and col laborative leadership to ensure the Bookstore meets its goals, including anticipated growth. Finally, I will strive to maintain the partnership between the Bookstore and the University which enhances the UO mission of service to its complete community. VOTE: Wednesday, May 10th & Thursday, May 11th from 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. in the lobby of the Bookstore or at the EMU. UNIVERSITY^1 OREGON May 10th 811th at the UO Bookstore and the EMU BOOKSTORE Open to all current UO faculty, students and staff _______ Your Bookstore has been governed by UO Stia^ents, Faculty and Staff for the past eighty years.
