Special continued from page 1 incidental fees if the measures pass. Ballot Measures 14.6 and 14.4 would update the ASUO Constitution to reflect earlier changes to the Clark Document made when the referendum process was removed. Pilliod said if the ASUO Constitution re mains unchanged, the ASUO could lose the ability to set student fees — a power that would default to University President Dave Frohnmayer. Student Senate Ombudsman Andrew Elliott said it would be better if the two docu ments matched to avoid confusion, adding that most students just read the ASUO Constitution. “If an average student comes along and reads the ASUO Constitution, it would be nice if it was true,” he said.

But apparendy this rule doesn’t apply to the hippie jam rockers The String Cheese Incident. The band had the audience wanting more of their lengthy bluegrass-in spired ballads when they played at the Hult Center on Monday night. A smoky haze rose to the rafters of the concert hall as The String Cheese Incident played crowd fa vorites like “Rhythm of the Road” and “Smile.” Their Velveeta vibe kept the audience grooving like a gi ant amoeba during the long sets. Dreadlocks spun and arms twirled as the Boulder, Colo., group jammed on and on and on. And although the music got a bit monotonous at times, there is something to be said about a musician that can play his or her in strument for 45 minutes straight. Audience members seemed to be hypnotized by the musicianship of Courtesy photo. the group. Or maybe there was something in the air that kept every one — including someone in a bear suit — out of their seats and dancing in a state of blissful rapture. For the encore, the group debuted the song “Just Passing Through.” Although for me, the music left something to be desired, there was no denying the intense, summer-of love atmosphere that could be felt all the way up to the balconies.

Mannix continued from page 1 is willing to invest $150 million in the fund within his first two years in office, with the remainder coming the following biennium. Mannix said the state has also re ceived the green light to modify the Oregon Health Plan and, with other policy changes, Oregon can main tain and increase levels of funding in certain areas. “The biggest hoax that is being perpetrated on voters right now is Ted Ku longoski’s argu ment that we have to have this income tax increase in Jan uary or educa tion and public safety will be hurt,” Mannix said. “That is not the case. We simply need to re-engineer gov ernment and tap some other exist ing resources. It requires more of a dynamic thinking, and that is what I offer.” To help the state’s struggling economy, Mannix said it’s necessary to simplify the rules imposed on businesses and stressed the need to More coverage On Thursday and Friday, the Emerald will post its Q & A sessions with the state’s two write-in candidates, Richard Alevizos and Cary Alan Spanovich.

Mannix said he considers himself the reform candidate for governor and added that, if elected, he will pinpoint the state’s problems and identify the solutions that are in the best interests of Oregonians. “I hope (voters) will look at my vi sion for Oregon, which is really a re flection of the people of the state,” he said. “Please avoid standard par ty labels in your thinking process and look at the actual capabilities and positions of the candidates. I think that you will see that I am a re freshing advocate for change.” Contact the senior news reporter at bradschmidt@dailyemerald.com. ASUO continued from page 1 started in May. Although only a handful of partici pants have confirmed with the ASUO office, Myers said he also expects some of the other groups he has con tacted to attend at the last minute. Ballot Measure 23, which puts be fore voters a comprehensive health care plan for the state, will be repre sented by both supporters and oppo nents. ASUO is still seeking opponents of Measure 25, a proposed increase of minimum wage, Measure 26, which would prohibit payment of petition signature-gatherers, and Measure 27, which would require that genetically engineered foods be labeled. “The ASUO wants to provide every avenue possible for students to become well educated on the is sues surrounding this year’s ballot measures and candidates,” Myers said. “Our goal is to leave students feeling confident in their ability to make smart choices.” Caron Alarab is a freelance writer for the Emerald. www.dailyemerald.com Oregon daily emerald worldwide
