New staff continued from page 1 have full jobs in the office. While much of the staff is new, several executive office interns and volunteers will be returning with positions. “We’ll have a little bit of conti nuity,” Breslow said. Two former student senators, Dave Sanchez and Helen Stock lin-Enright, are going to continue their government involvement by moving their attention to execu tive responsibilities. Breslow and Magner picked Melissa Unger, campaign manager for executive runners-up C.J. Gabbe and Peter Larson, for legislative organizer. They also selected Chad Sulli van, a member of the Human Rights Alliance and active partic ipant in the Worker Rights Con sortium protests, for University affairs. But the end of the hiring process was just the beginning of another' — getting everything ready for next year, including the staff. “Life is so hectic, and it’s so busy around here,” Magner said. Staff members are in the process of adjusting themselves to both their recently acquired positions and to their new co workers. “It’s a lot like a puzzle,” said Brian Tanner, a junior political science major and the new ASUO state affairs coordinator. “Like, how do you interact in an office environment with people working on different campaigns and different issues?” While staff members will each be pursuing their own projects throughout the year, Breslow and Magner have expressed a desire to see everyone start off with the same objective. In an earlier in terview, Magner said they hope this will create a less segmented office and encourage mutual sup port of individual goals. “We [want to] not start our in dividual projects so early, but re ally rally the entire staff around team issues [such as] voter regis tration,” Magner said. The biggest goal in sight at the moment is voter registration. The goal is to register 5,000 addition ASUO staff 2000-2001 International Student Advocate Daniel Valle Multicultural Advocate Nilda Brooklyn Non-Traditional Student Advocate Kathleen Workman Safety Advocate Lauren Bennett UO Housing Advocate Jeff Oliver SOURCE: ASUO Executive Office al students before the November elections. Tanner said that this also means promoting a high voter turnout even after people have been registered from the 18-34 age group, which traditionally has the lowest turnout of all the age groups. New ASUO Housing Advocate Jeff Oliver, a junior political sci ence and journalism major, said one of his biggest objectives for next year is improving the way the ASUO is viewed on campus. “The biggest goal that we should have would be to change the perception of the ASUO in the students’ minds,” Oliver said. These goals are just a few of many that Breslow, Magner and their new staff are looking toward for the upcoming year. Concerns now, however, are focusing on making sure that everyone is pre pared for what is to come. Transition of the new staff fell behind because the hiring process was pushed back to ac commodate for more applica tions, so organizing a retreat to orient the staff has been difficult. The tentative retreat scheduled for this past weekend did not happen because it was on too short of notice, Magner said. That doesn’t mean it won’t happen, however, and efforts are being made to fit something in soon. “We really want our staff pre pared by the time school starts,” she said. “Definitely one of the most important parts of starting the year off right is starting out with a great staff retreat.” Latino youth continued from page 1 said. Renesa Tucker-Fair, who will graduate in June with a degree in communication disorder sci ences, will volunteer for the event because she said it is im portant for students, particularly seniors, to reach out and help. It is also important that stu dents of color volunteer for events such as the Latino Youth Summit so the younger students of color can see older students as campus leaders, she said. r. Consuela Zumwalt, academic advisor and a University alumna, said the summit is a good oppor tunity for students to share what they have gained by attending the University. Zumwalt added that it is a privilege to attend college and though it is understandable that students focus on themselves during the school year, the sum mer months are a good time to give something back.
