Positions finalized
on Elections Board
■Additionally, the senate
grants nearly $17,000 in
special requests to three
student groups
By Emily Gust
Oregon Daily Emerald
The ASUO Elections Board was
finally filled Wednesday night as
the Student Senate approved all
four candidates se
lected by Elections
Coordinator Shantell
Rice.
Bringing together a
variety of experi
ences, Rice managed
to fill the board with several mem
bers who have had previous
ASUO experience — an especially
important fact as the board must
now jump into the middle of an
elections process already under
way.
The senate approved former
ASUO state affairs coordinator
Matt Swanson to the elections
board office manager position.
“I kind of know the lay of the
land ... I’ve been through a few
elections,” Swanson told the sen
ate. “I know the most important
thing we can do is run an open and
fair elections process.”
Political science major and for
mer senator Emily Sedgwick is
now elections manager.
“I thought student government
was probably the most valuable
thing I did in college,” Sedgwick
said. “I want to make that true for
many more people.”
Stephanie Chaney, a senior pub
lic relations major, assumed the
publicity coordinator position.
Chaney, who works in the Cultural
Forum and has also worked in the
Executive office, said she wants to
help students know what is hap
pening on campus.
“I’d just like to be part of the
team,” she said.
The final confirmation hap
pened without the nominee in at
tendance. The only person to ap
ply for the voter educator position
was business administration major
Kelly Murphy, who also happened
to have class while the senate was
in session.
Senate rules dictate that candi
dates must be present at their con
firmation hearings, but Rice said
the senate had to approve Murphy
that night or she would have to
find someone else.
Temporarily freezing parlia
mentary procedure — with Sens.
Greg Zimel and C.J. Gabbe speak
ing in favor of the candidate —
the senate confirmed Murphy to
the position.
Continuing with a request left
over from the last meeting, the sen
ate approved a $900 transfer for
the Returning Students Associa
tion.
At issue was the RSA’s request
to use $900 from one of its co-di
rectors’ stipends to pay for two
other positions instead.
Last year the senate passed a
new stipend model and agreed
with the Programs Finance Com
mittee that no new stipend posi
tions would be created.
The two positions the RSA
wanted to fund did not already re
ceive stipends.
Senate President Peter Watts ar
gued that there was no way around
it: By approving the request, the
senate was creating two new
stipend positions.
But most of the other senators
seemed to believe the RSA’s was a
one-time special case, and they
passed the request despite the
agreement.
The senate also approved sever
al large special requests, and by
the end of the night had granted
nearly $17,000 out of the general
surplus to three student groups.
The first and largest request was
from the Student Bar Association,
which asked for $9,223 to help ini
tiate a yearbook for third-year law
students — a tradition that the
group said it hoped would contin
ue in coming years.
Because there were questions
about whether SBA could receive
$1,500 from another source, the
senate decided to decrease the
number to $7,733.
The next largest request to come
out of surplus was $5,250 the sen
ate granted the Coalition Against
Environmental Racism to help
fund its Environmental Justice
conference.
And finally, the senate gave the
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans
gender Alliance $4,000 to help pay
for the costs of the group’s March
event, Lesbopalooza.
In different business, Watts ad
mitted to the senate that he had
broken several rules late fall term
when dealing with a loan for the
Black Student Union. Apologizing
for his mistakes, which eventually
led to frozen funds for the BSU,
Watts said he felt like he had let
the senate down.
The senators, however, did not
reprimand Watts, and the body
quickly rectified the problem by
approving a $234 transfer for the
BSU. '
