Sholkeda sem mm AndWazeth looked down upon his disciples from atop of the jackalope and spake,“Why are you still following me?’’And they replied,“Because you have much to teach us of your practices.”And Wazeth climbed down from the jackalope and walked behind a large boulder and sayeth,“Wazeth must think about this and he must also commence with his prac tices. This was followed by the sound of a zipper opening and much flapping. — The Book of Wazeth, Part III: The Reckoning, pg. 23 And one disciple ofWazeth looked towards the azurian sky and cried,“Why must beings suf fer punishments for actions they did not commit?’’And the sky replied,.. .Then some falling bird poo splattered on the disciple’s face.Wazeth looked at him and laughed.And thus, it was so. — Amazing Tales of Wazeth. #17 Collector’s Edition And Onan continued his prac tices andWazeth read the maga zines that were read by Onan. Wazeth looked up and saw that Onan was practicing And Wazeth read, and waited, and read, and waited, and read.Then Wazeth looked up and saw that Onan was still practicing.Wazeth spake,“Yay for me .’’And he departed. — The Continued Tales of Wazeth, pg. 555 And in the end, when all the world was thrashing about.When the winds tore through the lands. When the fires burned and the waters rose .When comets plunged out of the sky.When it sometimes rained.Wazeth sayeth, “Vote for Sho*.” — Parables of Wazeth, pg. 235 *andMatt Bretjacobson and Matt Cook Think it’s unimportant to vote inASUO elections? As outsiders to the student government process, we are running on new ideas and a pleasant tone of optimism, be cause we truly believe that the ASUO can be both relevant and unobtrusive to the lives of stu dents.After losing valuable sup port from generous alumni such as Phil Knight and having past Ex ecutive leaders arrested like com mon criminals, it’s pretty obvious that who occupies the office can make a huge difference in the lives and education of Oregon stu dents.That’s why we’re running for Executive office this year and the reason we hope you'll vote for us. We think that we have the tal ent and drive to further ongoing student efforts in areas such as di versity, improving relations with city officials and police and in creasing student representation in University decisions, all while putting forward an agenda of new ideas and amending for past mis takes. There are plenty of opportuni ties to improve campus life for students if the right leadership is in place.You won’t hear other candidates bringing forward new ideas like using the incidental fee to give a scholarship to a financial ly needy and deserving student or using the fee to fund a professor ship to study improving higher education on campus.And that’s just the beginning for a Bret and Matt Executive team. It truly matters who you vote for. Please vote for reasonable people with new and exciting ideas.Vote for Bret and Matt for ASUO Executive.

Heeding his beloved grandfather’s advice that “nothing of gain ever came without a lot of effort and a little elbow grease,” Qualheim set out to lead.And lead he did. First, Qualheim was elected third-grade president on an aboli tionist platform.And thanks to the 14th Amendment, passed 140 years earlier, Qualheim succeed ed. At the age of 10, he successful ly lobbied to close a nursing home. By 15, Qualheim had rid Oregon of Communists. After a stellar career in high school politics, Qualheim packed up his covered wagon and em barked on his three-month trek to Eugene — andtheUniversity.lt is the leper healing and tri umphant crime spree during this time that have made Qualheim an American hero. But now he is here, running for ASUO Executive.The dream re mains the same: to lead. But now, Qualheim has a new dream: to re alize the promise of tomorrow’s future .Today. Brian Boone was raised by pi rates off the shores of Ireland. He began dreaming of the promise of tomorrow’s future as a small child grown weary of pillaging coastal villages. As Vice-President, Boone will make it his top priority to stop the playing of the school fight song on the hour, instead having the bells chime “La Cucaracha.” With integrity rivaled only by that of former President Clinton, Brian Boone has it all: eyes, ears, mouth, nose, head and shoulders, knees and toes. Knees and toes. Brad Schatzel and Kevin Stolle By the end of spring term each University of Oregon student will have paid around $500 in inciden tal fees.This money is distributed to the EMU and its subsidiary groups, the Athletic Department, and about 80ASUO funded or subsidized programs. The expect ed tuition hike will result in even higher fee revenues.Wiser man agement will be required to fairly allocate these student funds. If you, the student body, elect us to theASUO Presidential and Vice Presidential Offices, we will be sure to do our best to equitably and impartially allot funds to the various finance committees. Our current positions at the campus dining center Grab and Go have provided us with the networking and problem solving skills needed to serve the students as theASUO President and VP HEY DUCK BASKETBALL FANS! Imagine a time when the entire lower ring of Mac Court was the student section free from silently seated alumni.Well, that’s how it used to be before the Ath letic Department pushed stu dents to the rafters to make room for old wealthy white men. If elected, we promise to use the clout of our office to return Mac Court to its original madness by expanding the student section again. Brad Schatzel and Kevin Stolle are fully endorsed by the Big Blue House and its members. ASPAC — 2yr term Katelyn Carey The Associated Students Presi dential Advisory Council (ASPAC) is the liaison between the Univer sity President and the student body. It’s important for this coun cil to be diverse so all student or ganizations can be heard. I’m a member of the Greek Communi ty, which is only a small portion of the student body. With my voice on the committee I could help represent, not only the Greek Community but also other small organizations on campus. Often ideas are misunderstood on campus and the lines of com munication must remain open and clear. It is this committee that allows rumors to stop, with full understanding of what goes on in the university’s administration. With a positive, honest connec tion between the students and the administration we can pre vent rumors and educate the stu dent body. I’m a sophomore and I have held two positions in my sorority in the past two years.These posi tions have improved my leader ship skills.A representative must have the entire university in their focus at all times. I want to be that link between those who make the decisions on campus and those who must abide by them. On Elec tion Day, vote KATY CAREY for ASPAC. Building Fee Committee — lyr term write in only Student Rec. and Fitness Advisory Board — 2yrterm Jon Lucchesi As a member of the Student Recreation and Fitness Advisory Board, I would do my best to re view facility7 policies, the use of student incidental fees, and do my best to represent the Recreation and Fitness Center to the commu nity. Every year we pay incidental fees to fund activities that many §11 VotebyDUCKWEBduckweb.uoregon.edu • VotebyDUCKWEBduckweb.uoregon.edu paid advertisement wdOKfciitmx) Lii«.
