she said.
But senior Dustin Popken said he
thinks the ASUO is powerless.
“What can they really do to
change anything? I don’t think they
have any power,” he said.
Even ASUO Vice President Joy
Nair pointed out that although this
year there are more serious, non
joke tickets, the platforms are the
same as in the past.
“They want to do things ASUO
has no power to do — like getting
more tickets for games. That’s a big
laugh when you see how hard the
(Athletic Department Finance
Committee) works just to keep the
tickets we have,” she said. “Also,
some seem to have the attitude that
they could just set up a meeting
with (University President Dave)
Frohnmayer and (Gov. John)
Kitzhaber and say, ‘Hey, dude,
don’t cut my budget.’ It doesn’t
work like that.”
But the candidates aren’t the
only ones who have misplaced ex
pectations, she said. Students don’t
she wants to make sure the new ex
ecutive is concerned with women’s
issues and safety, she said.
“The reason why I vote is be
cause I see how Saferide has been
affected in the past,” she said. “I see
how students have helped or hurt
Saferide.”
She tries to get the word out to
her volunteers about the impor
tance of voting because the 3,000 to
4,000 women who rely on Saferide
each term may not realize the im
portance, she said.
Other students on campus had
no idea the primary election begins
Wednesday. Senior Graham Payer
said he hasn’t been following elec
tions, mainly because he doesn’t
see how ASUO affects him.
“I don’t have the faintest clue
what they do or why they’d want to
do it,” he said.
Being handed fliers by candi
dates hasn’t persuaded him to vote,
he added.
“The other day, I got accosted by
a monkey,” he said.

“It’s $40 to participate on each
team,” director Brent Harrison said.
“Any sort of reduction in the allo
cation could result in the increase
in fees,” he said.
PFC approved the Lane Transit
District budget at $457,158. While
this reduces the prior allocation, it
is an overall increase from the
2001-02 term budget. The new stu
dent rate was approved at $8.25 per
student per term for 2002-03, an in
crease from this year’s quarterly
charge of $7.52.
The Sexual Assault Support Ser
vices budget also increased — 5.4
percent — to $50,348. Most money
goes to coordinator salaries with a
3 percent cost of living addition.
Other funds went to pagers and cel
lular phones for the organization.
PFC heard from the Women’s
Center about changing the Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Issues
line item. The item was approved
at $1,621, pushing up the Women’s
Center total budget to $125,190, a
4.2 percent advance.
Registration and lodging were
discussed when the Forensics As
sociation took the floor. Co-director
Peter Mohn requested a 24 percent
budget increase. The PFC agreed to
an additional 5.9 percent increase
to $24,830 because of the group’s
excellent spending record.
The Student Insurgent line item
was discussed solely by PFC, as no
representatives of the group were
present. PFC allotted $10,267 to
press printing, a 1 percent decrease.
The dip brought the new budget to
tal to $14,039, in which PFC stood
confident.
“This is what they need,” said
PFC member Pursell.
Associated Students for Historic
Preservation student officers re
mained silent at PFC’s ruling to
leave the budget as previously allo
cated. It was the only budget of the
evening that remained untouched.
The American Institute of Ar
chitecture Students was given
$710 for the coming year to fund
line items in advertising and trav
el. It is a 16.7 percent decrease
from the former figure.
The last group to be recalled was
the Black Law Student Association,
represented by BLSA director
Michael Callier. The Black Caucus
was granted $1,000 for the follow
ing year, and, at the advising of Cal
lier, the director’s salary was re
duced to zero. This peaked the
budget only slightly to $1,169.
Other groups at Monday night’s
meeting were there to appeal previ
ous recall hearings.
PFC members voted to not hear
MEChA appeals on increasing
community outreach funding.
MEChA has until 5 p.m. Wednes
day to turn in more information for
an appeal at the next meeting.
Oregon Marine Biology Student
Association graduate student repre
sentative John Young made an ap
peal to increase the line item for
funding Oregon Institute of Marine
Biology speakers and trips. PFC
recognized the travel expense for
OMSA members to visit the Uni
versity for meetings and budget
hearings and raised the 2002-03
travel allotment to $92, a $250 in
crease. This brings the new budget
to $3,546.
“Ido think if they are expected to
come up here several times, they
shouldn’t always have to pay for
it,” PFC member Erin Pursell said.
The committee decided not to vote
on funding for OMSA student trips
and speakers.
A dozen Emerald representa
tives turned out to appeal their
budget recall. While the pro
posed budget for 2002-03 was
$116,241, the Emerald request
ed an increase to $132,870, the
same amount asked for since
1997. This was denied, but PFC
did take the ASUO Executive
recommendation to bump up
the budget to $120,000 for the
coming year.
“The (ASUO) Exec feels confi
dent that (the Emerald is) spend
ing way above what is their allo
cated printing costs,” ASUO Vice
President Joy Nair said in support
of the decision.

ASUO office, she said.
She admitted that in her cam
paign, she and ASUO President
Nilda Brooklyn had lofty goals for
accessibility and outreach to raise
student awareness. But the ASUO
Executive is so busy maintaining
the services students have come to
expect — such as student tickets to
games and providing Lane Transit
District services to students — that
there almost isn’t time to focus on
anything else, she said.
“It’s a battle in itself to make sure
LTD is here to pick up students, but
no one knows about that,” she said.
Tim Dreier, who is running on an
anti-Communism platform, said it
is a tradition for the Commentator
to run a joke candidate to “mock”
the elections.
“Many of us think elections are a
farce,” he said. “The outcome does
n’t affect my daily life nine times
out of 10, so why bother even get
ting out of bed?”
But for Project Saferide co-direc
tor Nikki Fancher, voting is essen
tial. She said her vote will have a di
rect impact on Saferide. That’s why
