Students having a voice on
campus is my highest priority.As
an undeclared student I am aware
of many of the issues that we are
facing.
I have been working hard in
order to achieve fair housing, for
students.The current contract sys
tem is unfair and not in the best
interest of the students As a cur
rent senator I have tried to tackle
this issue and many others.There
are many areas that students
should be concerned about.
The incidental fee has been ris
ing, and the administration contin
ues to balance their budgets are
our backs.We need student sena
tors who are not afraid to stand
up for student rights. I have
worked hard for undeclared stu
dents this year and would appre
ciate the same opportunity in the
future.

Any seat on our Student Senate
is one that requires a sense of
leadership, involvement on cam
pus and a working knowledge of
how the incidental fee system
works.With that said, a vote for
me in the upcoming elections
would ensure all of those quali
ties. I am a sophomore journalism
major focusing in electronic me
dia and have wasted no time since
coming to the University of Ore
gon all the way from sunny San
Diego. Last year I hit the ground
running when I jumped onto the
ASUO Elections Board as Publicity
Coordinator, an experience that
gave me an appreciation for the
duties those in student govern
ment perform. If you are a fresh
man here at the U of O.you may
have met me over the summer
when I was on the Student Orien
tation Staff; a position that gave
me an even greater appreciation
for our fine school.This year I
have kept myself busy. I am a Stu
dent Ambassador, giving tours
once a week among other things
as well as joining DeltaTau Delta,
a fraternity on campus. My experi
ences so far this year have given
me a greater passion to serve the
students of this campus. If you
elect me as the next Student Sena
tor for Journalism and Arts and
Letters students, I will waste no
time getting out there in the at
tempt to hear what you have to
say and work to make positive
changes for all students.

As a returning senate member,
I understand the importance of
experience on the student senate.
I campaigned on the issues of giv
ing a voice to my peers and repre
senting their needs, both of which
have been accomplished. My con
tinuous fight to uphold the stu
dent incidental fee system
demonstrates my success in fight
ing for student’s interests.As a sen
ator, my involvement extends be
yond student government into
the Greek system, faculty-student
committees and various special
interest/honor societies.Through
out this year, the senate has made
several decisions that contend
precedent set by last year’s sen
ate .This is due in large part to the
small amount of returning sena
tors, making it important that this
next year’s senate have a larger
number of returning senators to
uphold the decisions and ensure a
smooth transition with the in
coming senate

My fellow students, today it
gives me great pleasure to an
nounce my candidacy for ASUO. I
welcome the opportunity to
serve my school as I have done so
diligently in the past. I believe that
my community involvement and
prior student government experi
ence speak for my commitment
to my school and those of you I
will repre'sent.As your ASUO Sena
tor I will serve the office with
honor and integrity.
From the offices of United
States Senator RonWyden and the
Mayor of Grants Pass, Gordon An
derson; to receiving The National
Youth Leadership Award and Con
gressional Leadership Award, I
have voluntarily served people of
all backgrounds and ideologies,
both Democrat and Republican,
without bias.
After talking at length with stu
dents and campus leaders, I am
ready to fight for the issues and
needs that concern all students at
the UO. From providing better ac
countability and public aware
ness of the use of incidental fees,
to working with off campus hous
ing to lower skyrocketing rents;
from increasing voter turnout and
bipartisan rallies to pushing for
more State and Federal funds for
daycare and other student pro
grams. I will fight for you, all of
you, so vote for Dan
Steven Lockfield
Hello, my name is Steven Lock
field, a history major, and I am run
ning for ASUO Senate as the repre
sentative of the Social Science
majors. I want to be your Senator
becase I will speak for the stu
dents wihin our academic inter
ests. It will be my duty, if elected,
to be fully accessable to my peers

ideas.That is what I believe what a
represemtatove should do. I have
had much experience in student
governments. I have been Vice

my four years in high school.
Presently I am actively involved as

in the Hamilton Complex Govern
ment and as a member of the Peer
Judicial Board. I am a compas
sionte, honest, inquistive, and a re
sponsible hard worker.Though
most of my ideas for proposals
will be based on your input, I do

student population

fare for both Social Science ma
jors and the greater student
community

Dear Voter,
I am running for anA.S.U.O.
senate seat.This is a position that
involves managing and distribut
ing the incidental fees you pay.
These fees are the U of O’s tax on
students that are used for various
student services and activities.
This position also includes repre
senting students on a variety of is
sues in a variety of bodies.
In my position as a senator I
will work to insure that every stu
dent is able to maximize the use
they get out of their incidental
fees. Students should be able to
get what they pay for and I plan to
insure that every student does. I
find it unacceptable that a student
would pay for a service they don’t
use. In my position as a senator I
will work to insure that you the
taxpaying student will be given
what you pay for.
Senators also are responsible
for representing the students of
this university on a variety of stu
dent faculty bodies. In this capaci
ty I will do the best of my ability
to represent the interests and
views of the students of this insti
tution, even if those interests dif
fer from my own.
I’m looking out for you.
Thank you, Gregory McNeill

The senate controls about $5.4
million a year of student fee mon
ey- your money.The process of al
locating these funds should be
fair and straightforward But
sometimes it’s not .When the sys
tem doesn’t work perfectly it is of
ten because of inexperience or
personal politics. I have experi
ence with the senate system, I
have been anASUO intern, and
worked with some of the largest
student groups on campus.
My personal goal is to get your
money to the places you want it.
I will do this by considering
every request that comes before
the senate objectively and fairly.
So, vote for me.
Maco Stewart
Students pay a substantial sum
of money to attend the University
of Oregon, and the purpose of the
university should be to serve
them to the best of its ability. Gen
erally this goal is accomplished,
but when students try to better
their situations our voices often
go unheard. I think it is a shame
that students have so little input
regarding the way our school is
run, and that our opinions are of
ten ignored by those in power.
The current project to commis
sion officers of the Department of
Public Safety' is a perfect example
of the way in which major deci
sions are made without student
input.
If elected, I will do my best to
change that. I believe in student
control, to whatever degree is rea
sonable. I shall do everything in
my power both to express the
will of the student body to the
proper authorities and to encour
age student involvement in politi
cal life. I especially support
groups like the College Republi
cans and Democrats, OSPIRG,
campus publications and Greek
organizations.
With tuition costs rising stu
dents deserve a voice in their
own affairs more than ever be
fore, and I am committed to mak
ing that voice heard.Vote Maco
Stewart for Senate!
