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.

String Cheese rocks
with ‘Velveeta vibe’
Helen Schumacher
Pulse Reporter
Unless it’s “Free Bird,” it is not a
good idea for a song to be longer than
10 or 12 minutes. 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

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.

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

encourage investors by reducing
capital gains taxes.
“To turn things around, we need
to encourage Oregonians by show
ing them that government will sup
port them rather than throw hurdles
in front of them as they try to rede
velop the economy,” he said.
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.”

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.”
