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.

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.
