ing donkeys and dragons as soon as they got out. Then the donkeys started telling them what to do in the magical world. So then they started to walk when suddenly they feel a strong wind. They stop and see a different place then where they started.Then they see a dark castle and run inside, because it was dark. Then get into trouble because they see a bad creature running after them. So they run out and onto the bridge which breaks. Then, when they fall, they fall into flames but it wasn’t really flames... it was the way home. The end. Written By Campaign Manager Sam, a student at Oak Grove Middle School, Florida. Vote Sho! Senate Seat #8 Joseph Streckert no statement Senate Seat #10 Ben Strawn As an undeclared freshman I realize that there are many * questions and concerns faced by all underclassmen. My goal as an ASUO senator would be tc ensure that these concerns are heard and that our questions are answered by the powers that be here at the University oi Oregon. Although the unde clared major represents the greatest number of students on this campus, by not affiliating with one department or anoth „ er we run the risk of becoming a voiceless mass. Elect me as your representative and I will * ensure that the officers of change do not neglect the inter ests of the academically unde cided. Above all: get involved, vote! Second to that vote for Ben Strawn for ASUO academic senate seat 10. Senate Seat #13 Steven Lockfield Since we pay the incidental fee we deserve responsible Senators who are in touch with their constituents and corre sponds openly with them.This is what I promise to all the stu dents who compromise the diverse majors of Arts & Letters/Journalism. I promise responsible representation that will protect the incidental fee with always keeping the inter ests of Arts & Letters and Journalism majors in mind. As for my qualifications, I have had experience in the judi cial, executive, and legislative branches but I have always pre ferred legislative. I feel it is the most noble and truly symbol izes the purpose of govern ment, which is representation. I am currently a member of the College Democrats as well. Since this is a non-student fund ed group I am impartial and will be fair to all student groups. Better representation and fairness is what I stand for and will accomplish if elected. Jackie Lynn Ray no statement Senate Seat #14 Levi Strom The proposed budget cuts may have a devastating impact on the academics of the University, and the social sci ences could carry a large por tion of that burden. This means that certain departments may be weakened or even eliminat ed. If elected I will advocate, not only to preserve, but to broaden the social sciences. I have experience with finan cial procedures, serving on the UO bookstore s budget and finance committee, as well as the bookstore’s general board of directors. I have also served as an RA in the residence halls and have been active in various student groups on campus. The social sciences need an advocate to ensure that this diverse field of study will not be undermined by budget cuts. As a junior, double majoring in political science and sociology, I am personally tied to the wel fare of the social sciences. I will be available to students and will fight to ensure that their education is as diverse as they are. Anthony Kuchulis How does tuition go up while the school budget threat ens to be cut? Or why are fresh man left every term praying for a good social security number so they can register for the classes they need. Moreover why does the university not consider sign language a lan guage applicable for a BA espe cially with the necessity of sign language in even the least diverse cultures. Each one of these questions must have a good answer and as your sena tor I will prove that those answers are not good enough. The ASUO has done a tremendous job in dealing with issues such as these, and many others in the past. My goal therefore would not be a radical change that would prove unnecessary and time consum ing, but rather to aid in the con tinuing systematic growth of efficiency and effectiveness within your student govern ment. Abby Lovett Every year hundreds of thou sands of dollars go to fund stu dent groups and organizations, and there is a continual lack of student voice and input as to how much each group should receive. The solution to this problem is for students, like yourself, to vote for a senator that will accu rately and effectively represent your needs. You, the students, need someone who recognizes the changing issues on campus and is willing to stand up for those issues and the funds to support them. To ensure that your inciden tal fees are allocated properly and backed with a student voice, vote for Abby Lovett, Senate seat number 14. Senate Seat #16 Tex Arnold For the previous two years I have served on the ASUO Student Senate. I enjoyed my experience and seek to contin ue this opportunity. Many stu dents are unaware that the money they pay every year in incidental fees goes into a sur plus account accessible to stu dents. If I am elected to the Student Senate I will make sure that the incidental fees are allo cated fairly to various student groups in need. I feel that I am well qualified for this position due to my past experience. I am familiar with the processes involved, and I am eager to reach my goal of making sure students spend THEIR money. Please vote Tex Arnold for Academic Seat #16. Thanks Tex Arnold Senate Seat #17 Michael Unman The Student Senate performs two major functions. First, it is responsible for distributing over 8 million dollars in incidental fees to three major programs: ASUO Programs, the EMU and the Athletic Department. Second, it is to represent the Student Body in the formulation of University policies in cooper ation with faculty and adminis tration. Both of these functions make it important to elect fis cally responsible Senators who can properly represent the Student Body in all matters. As a Finance major, I believe 1 possess the proper back ground to ensure our incidental fees are distributed effectively and efficiently. As co-chair of the UO College Democrats, I have fought to make sure that the voice of the students is heard from Salem to Washington, D C. I believe that both of these characteristics will translate to strong leader ship if elected to the Student Senate. Vote for Michael Linman, Student Senate Seat #17 (Business majors). Starla Cummins The students of the Lundquist College of Business are entitled to great representa tion on committees and assem blies that make decisions effect ing us. An Academic Senator is responsible for serving on stu dent/faculty committees and providing information and input to best serve students of their school. Administration and faculty need to be made aware of the issues that are important to Business Students and I am the person to do it. As your Business Academic Senator I will work hard with others to create policies that enhance our way of life within the Business School. I am a born leader who thrives on negotiating and debating issues. If you want a responsible and knowledgeable advocate on your side. Reach for a Star.... VOTE STARLA CUMMINS for Business Academic Senator seat #17 Senate Seat #18 Scott Austin no statement Andrew R. Elliott The complaints of graduate and law students are well known yet addressed by few. The recreation center does not adequately accommodate our needs. First-year students must jump through hoop after hoop just to watch a football game. And our groups are often viewed with suspicion. I have the commitment to address these problems. The cost of a graduate or legal education can be immense, yet few have made inroads to limit these costs. The price of tuition is up. New fees are added yearly. And we are assessed fees which other stu dents are not asked to pay. I have the expertise to combat these problems. The University structure is under reform, yet without conti nuity these reforms may never materialize. The Clark Document is being amended. New programs are being formed. And new fee allocation processes are being created. I have the experience to negoti ate these changes. In the past two years, I have served you as a member of the EMU Board, a member of the Senate, and as ASUO Senate Vice-President. I have spent hundreds of hours in meetings with student leaders and admin istrators. I have become an expert on the incidental fee structure, and I have helped countless groups work within that structure. If elected, I will continue to reform. I will keep fighting for student empowerment. I will work to address the unique needs of graduate and law stu dent, and I will never stop help ing student groups. Please elect me to seat 18.
