Haben Woldu and

involvement in the issues that
affect all of us. We will protect
students’ money by making sure
administration uses is it where
it is needed the most. We

term plans of action.

organizations, student unions
and been involved on various
boards.

and remain true to our princi
ples and values. We will work
hard to create change.
Vote for Haben and Oscar,

Pools of apathy have flooded
our student body. Our executive
office is out of touch with the
student body and rarely has a
clear perception of the students
wants and needs. As trite repre
sentatives of the student body
we intend to dissolve the elitist
tendencies of the ASUO and
turn the stagnant pool of apa
thy into a current of participa
tion and knowledge, so that the
ASUO is truly the Associated
Students of the University of
Oregon. It is our contention
that we will be able to do this
because we are a part of and in
touch with the true general will
of the student body. Secondly
we feel that the issues we have
chosen to address are funda
mental to building this new and
essential, direct participatory
Associated Students of the
University of Oregon.
It is because of these ideals
that we have chosen the specif
ic issues of our candidacy. Our
first goal, as ASUO executives, is
counter-acting Governmental
budget cuts of higher educa
tion, as well as correctly allocat
ing incidental fees and appro
priating these fees to the
desires of the Student body. We
also will address on and off
campus student housing rules.
Also with the rumors of the
reinstatement of the Party
Patrol, another policy we are
committed to is the legal rights
of students. And lastly is the
ever-growing problem of under
budgeted programs for peer
advising and tutoring.
We have picked these issues
because they affect not only
ourselves as students, but also
the entire student body. While
these are the issues we feel
affect us students, we are
always here to listen to con
cerns and questions that stu
dents have for and about their
student government. AsASUO
executives we will install the
necessary means for you, the
student body, to represent your
selves. This, and only this, is
how a student government
should be run, associated and
united.

Timothy “Judas”Dreier
A vote for Timothy Dreier is
a vote for America and the
American way of life. I will, as
ASIIO President, establish
means by which we can elimi
nate all un-American activities
in the ASIIO and around cam
pus. By bringing back the
McCarthy tradition of strong
anti-Communist action, the
American way of life can be
protected on campus. We must
eliminate this “Red Threat” to
our country and the only way
the student body can do its
small part is by electing me,
Timothy Dreier, ASITO
President. I promise, if elected,
to find all Communists in the
ASUO and have them summari
ly removed from their posts. In
addition to eliminating subver
sives in the ASUO, I will devote
our resources to fighting
Communism on a national level
to the extent that it is possible
to do so. This will involve
establishing an ASUO program
to research, nationwide, subver
sives in student governments.
Additionally, I will devote part
of the ASUO budget to building
a monument to Joe McCarthy in
place of the Pioneer Mother
statue on 13th. This monument
will be a reminder of the evils
of Communism to all who pass
by its feet. Building a monu
ment to McCarthy will also
remind all subversives of
America’s power to eliminate
their turncoat opinions from
our great nation. As ASUO
President I will use whatever
resources are available to get
the University involved in the
sanctioning of Cuba. Elect me,
Timothy Dreier, ASUO President
if you value the American way
of life.

James Tilford
As a student, it is important
to me to ensure that Student
Government facilitates adequate
levels of funding for student
groups and organizations that
provide quality program con
tent for all students at the
University.
It is my intention to provide
an open channel of communica
tion between any student with
a question or concern and the
Student Senate by publishing
personal contact information
and maintaining regular office
hours.
I have 8+ years of experi
ence in management and
finance and have previous
Student Government finance
experience. I am announcing
my candidacy because I am
sure that my experience will
contribute to the duties of the
finance organization.
I pay incidental fees too, a
vote for me is one less worry
for you!
Russ Tkebuchava
After serving a year on the
PFC, I fully realized the impor
tance of this position within the
ASIJO. I also realized the need
for continuance. Our duties
would have been impossible to
fulfill without the guidance of
our chair. We often relied on
her previous experience with
the budget process for critical
insight. Unfortunately, no PFC
member, with the exception of
myself, will be able to serve on
the committee next year. I
need your support to ensure
that next year’s PFC has enough
experience to allocate more
than $4 million in student fees.
I stand unaligned with any stu
dent group or political cause. I
can assure you that I will repre
sent the interests of the student
body as a whole and make deci
sions accordingly. As an
accounting and economics
major, I feel that I have the nec
essary background to fulfill my
duties remarkably by look at
each budget objectively.

Kate Shull
Allocating the incidental fee
to campus programs is a chal
lenging job that will become
more demanding next year with
an increase in the student pop
ulation and a growing interest
in student programs.
Distributing funds to over
100 organizations is a task that
requires knowledge, patience,
and impartiality. Following
guidelines set by the committee
maintains a just hearing for
each group presenting a budg
et. This year as the PFC admin
istrative assistant, I have been
able to observe the hearing
process and am fully aware of
the skills needed to make the
budget hearing process a suc
cess.
If elected to the Programs
Finance Committee, I will suc
cessfully contribute to the dis
tribution of the incidental fee. I
will be unbiased and just during
the budget process and will
present solutions that best
serve the University of Oregon
student body. Vote for Kate
Shull, PFC 1-year At-Large
Member.
