Vote
continued from page 1
If passed, the ballot would pro
vide a transfer of $220 million from
the Education Endowment, which
helps fund the Oregon Opportunity
Grant, to the School Stabilization
Fund for K-12 schools. The transfer
would leave a balance of $58 mil
lion for the Education Endowment
and in 2003-04, 2,000 Oregon Op
portunity Grants would be eliminat
ed, Newton said.
OSPIRG and the ASUO will be
working with administrators for
this year’s “Get Out the Vote” cam
paign and will continue to work
with them on future voter
registration projects.
In 1998, the U.S. Congress passed
an amendment to the Higher Educa
tion Act requiring higher education
institutions to make efforts to en
courage students to become more
politically active.
Administrators met with the two
groups Tuesday to discuss possible
ideas for registering students to vote
and improving voter turnout. Con
cepts considered included in
stalling voter registration drop box
es in popular campus buildings and
inviting prominent figures from the
University community to work at
voter registration tables, OSPIRG
Youth Vote Coordinator Greg
Gallagher said.
The two groups also suggested
linking the University Web site to
the secretary of state’s Web site and
placing voter registration cards in
the class course catalog, student di
rectories and the University cata
log. They also talked about setting
up voter registration tables at sport
ing events and playing a commer
cial on the big screen during
University football games,
Gallagher said.
“What I saw at the meeting was a
really enthusiastic response from
the administration to the groups’
suggestions, and they did a great
job with their proposal of ideas,”
Associated Vice President for Stu
dent Affairs Anne Leavitt said.
Leavitt said the only problem
that could arise in pursuing the
proposed ideas has to do
with timeliness.
The class course catalog for fall
2002 has already gone to press, and
she said registering students to vote
in the fall and spring terms can be
difficult because students may be
moving to or away from Eugene
and do not have an address.
“We just need to find a window of
opportunity,” she said. “If we can
get figure out the right timeline, we
will be able to make a difference.”
Gallagher said he believes it is im
portant for University students to
take part in their community and
voice their concerns about health
coverage and student housing.
“My favorite quote is, ‘Democ
racy isn’t a spectator sport,”’ he
said. “It’s very important to be an
active part of our elected officials’
constituency if we want to affect
the issues.”
Students can look for registration
tables during the next couple weeks
at the EMU Amphitheater, the Uni
versity Bookstore, Johnson Hall, the
Carson residence hall complex, the
EMU Fishbowl and the Hamilton
residence hall complex near Grab
’N Go. Members of OSPIRG and the
ASUO will also be handing out vot
er registration cards in classes.

Death
continued from page 1
Court, said Dr. Greg Hamilton,
president of the right-to-life group
Compassion in Dying.
“The Supreme Court is on record
as being suspect to the whole idea
of assisted suicide,” he added.
But Eli Stutsman, lead attorney
for Oregon Death with Dignity and
the lawyer who defended the law
after Oregon voters passed it in
1994 and again in 1997, said he
doesn’t expect the case to reach the
Supreme Court.
“The (U.S.) attorney general is
not empowered to regulate the
practice of medicine in the state,”
he said.
Stutsman said he is confident
Jones will not only rule in favor of
Oregon today, but that the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in San Fran
cisco will uphold the law as well.
“I don’t think there will be any
thing for the Supreme Court to fix,”
he said.
Jones is scheduled to issue an
opinion at 9 a.m. today, after which
the loser has 30 days to file an ap
peal in San Francisco.
