WRC continued from page 1 student senators, four faculty members and one other adminis trative staff person. However, the exact composi tion of next year’s Executive Com mittee will depend on next year’s president. Gilkey said the new president will take over the office during the Senate’s last meeting for this term on May 24, when he is also expect ed to introduce his Executive Committee. “There’s realty nothing substan tive for me to say until [May] 24,” Gilkey said. “The new Senate Ex ecutive Committee will be up and working on [that day].” Gilkey said the decision to have the Executive Committee function as the WRC oversight committee came after discussions with Frohnmayer, the ASUO Student Senate and other groups that have been involved in bringing the WRC to Eugene. The committee will work closely with Duncan McDonald, the University’s vice president for public affairs and de velopment, and will be open to comments from students, admin istrators, faculty, trustees, alumni, licensees and other interested community members. Recommendations from the Senate Executive Committee will then go to the Senate and subse quent to its decision, move on to Frohnmayer. McDonald said while he will be ready to report to the Senate if new developments should require dis cussion, it is not sure yet when and how often the Senate Execu tive Committee will meet. As far as the WRC itself goes, McDonald said he expects the new organiza tion to be more active once its gov erning board is elected this sum mer. “I would say that the governing board of the WRC should have a pretty busy summer, but we as in dividual universities don’t know yet what our roles will be,” he said. Human Rights Alliance mem ber Chad Sullivan, a senior dou ble-majoring in music and histo ry, said he expects the interest in the WRC issue to persist through out the summer months. He said that the conference United Students Against Sweat shops — which will be held Aug. 16 through Aug. 20 with 180/MDE, or Movement for Democracy and Education — will bring many students back to cam pus during the summer and help keep the issues alive. Executive continued from page 1 occur in hopes of creating a more solid and friendly atmosphere. Under current the president and vice president, Wylie Chen and Mitra Anoushiravani, the of fice is separated into teams, which each have their own cluster of desks. Magner said a segregated at mosphere sometimes prevails as a result of the setup. To mix it up a little, desks may be moved around the office. She said this will help to encourage every one to have a stronger commitment to each other and help other teams with their various projects. “We want more cohesion in the office and have everyone work to gether,” Magner said. But that desire for cohesion ex tends beyond the ASUO office. Breslow said relations between the ASUO Executive and the Stu dent Senate are sometimes cloud ed by personal politics, and he doesn’t want to see it that way next year. “I really want to see some coali tions built between the senate and the ASUO Exec.... Not that we al ways have to agree, but let’s work together for the good of the stu dents,” Breslow said. Breslow and Magner are cur rently in the process of hiring their staff, which consists of 24 open positions. “We have an amazing pool of applicants,” Magner said. “It’s go ing to be a tough decision because we have a lot of awesome people.” A few weeks ago, the situation did not look so bright. Applica tions for the office positions were scant — approximately 20 people had applied. For a while, Magner said, both she and Breslow were scared no one would be staffing their office next year. “We were really quaking in our boots,” Magner said. Things took a swift turn, how ever, after Breslow and Magner at tended a leadership conference May 6 and 7 in Minnesota. An an nouncement about the open in ternship coordinator position was sent out on an e-mail list-serve, and by the time the pair returned, applications had suddenly surged to between 35 and 40. Interviews for the ASUO Execu tive staff were conducted during the weekend and this week. Final deci sions should be in on Thursday. “I’m really excited to get the new, fresh people in here,” Magner said.
