Election
continued from page 1
lot measures because elections can
not be held during Dead Week or Fi
nals Week, and University Presi
dent Dave Frohnmayer must have
funding measure results by April 1
so the money can be included in
next year’s incidental-fee budget.
The general election should have
started Monday, but the court halted
voting until it can rule on an appeal
by disqualified Executive candi
dates Bret Jacobson and Matt Cook.
The elections board removed the
pair from the ballot on the night of
the primary election after Jacobson
campaign volunteers distributed
fliers in the residence halls.
Although members of OSPIRG
and the MCC had to suddenly halt
campaigning plans Sunday night,
everyone said they are ready to go
this week.“I would have liked to see
the election happen, but it doesn’t
set us back that much,” OSPIRG
campaign manager Melissa Unger
said. “I know we’ll be ready when
the election does happen. ”
Unger said she was shocked and
“totally caught off guard” when she
received an e-mail late Sunday
night describing the details of the
court's decision.
“Right now we are trying to stay
mobilized for this vote and keep
everyone’s enthusiasm up,” she
said. “We were all set to go [Mon
day], but students will continue to
stay mobilized around the fight. ”
While they didn’t hand out fliers
to students Monday, members of
OSPIRG continued to talk to stu
dents about their campaign and en
couraged students to vote for the
OSPIRG ballot measure.
But Unger also said it was insult
ing that the court set the hearing
date for Jacobson’s appeal during
Dead Week, as people will be study
ing and not focusing on an election
during that time.
William Beutler, director of com
munication? with the Honesty cam
paign, said he wasn’t surprised with
the court’s decision to put a halt on
the measures. But said with the
elections starting up again today, he
is expecting a depressing voter
turnout. He said he was confused
and upset that the court decided to
send the measures to the polls with
out including the candidates.
“Sending the ballot measures to
the polls without the candidates is
an abysmal proposition,” Beutler
said. “It undermines the campaign
ing process.”
Beutler said the court’s decision
throws everything off for the Hon
esty campaign. He said participants
in the campaign were scheduled to
hand out fliers to attract people who
don’t always vote to vote against
OSPIRG, and he had to call them off,
then put them back on the job when
the court announced the extra elec
tion.
With some unexpected extra time
on its hands, MCC Director Erica
Fuller said the MCC is working to
battle misinformation regarding its
ballot measure. The court’s halt on
the voting process has allowed the
MCC time to re-evaluate and clarify
its purpose.
“Multicultural education is a ne
cessity on this campus,” said Abby
Lovett, MCC resource coordinator!
“We didn’t ttealiie that dur^urpose
was being misinterpreted by so .
many people.”
Lovett said if the MCC’s ballot
measure passes, extra funding
could allow the MCC to offer bigger „
and better speakers and fev'ents.
Fuller said the MCC has already
revised its bylaws to include a
structure to distribute its money.
She also addressed the quickness of
the court’s decision.
“I am a little concerned with the
expediency of the Constitution
board,” Fuller said. “It cripples our
ability to campaign effectively.”
