ize that there are people out there
that need help,” Volunteer Fair Co
ordinator Jackie Reed said. “Stu
dents just don’t realize there are
homeless people, hungry people,
children that don’t have shoes to go
to school in, right here in Eugene.”
Patrick Carr, a graduate assistant in
the Greek Life Office who is helping to
coordinate the fair, said the event al
lows students to see where their serv
ices are needed.
“This is a way that we can provide a
forum for students to meet with com
munity services and find something
that matches their interests,” Carr
said. He said the fair is designed to edu
cate students about the local service
agencies and the problems they seek
to address.
Debbey Chastain, a spokeswoman
for a Lane County agency that offers
emergency services for families with
health issues, called Shelter Care,
said the organization has a couple of
volunteers from the University work
ing at its two shelters in Springfield
and in Eugene. She said she hopes
Shelter Care’s presence at the 2003
fair will help increase student in
volvement in the agency.
“It’s not that people don’t care, a lot
of people just don’t know how they can
volunteer,” Chastain said.
This observation seemed to be true
among many of the students perusing
the 25 booths Wednesday. Freshman
Kimberly Evans said she was lured to
the fair by a flyer.
“I don’t think most people think
about (volunteering),” she said “If
they knew how to get involved, I
think they would. ”
Freshman Jessica Bryan echoed
these sentiments. Bryan, who was in
volved in community service in high
school, said she would like to be in
volved now in Eugene, but it is hard to
know where to begin.
“When there are events like this
that show people how they can help, it
is really successful,” Bryan said.
Interested students are encouraged
to stop by the EMU concourse for more
information on volunteering. Agencies
include Food for Lane County, Com
mitted Partnership for Youth, HIV Al
liance, Sexual Assault Support Ser
vices, Kids First and March of Dimes,
among others.

News brief
The ASUO Student Senate trans
ferred more than $5,000 in funds to
two student groups Wednesday night
and briefly discussed senate rules in a
session several members called “the
shortest senate meeting ever. ”
MEChA packed more than a dozen
members into the EMU Board Room
as the senate considered the organiza
tion’s request for $4,805 for a state
conference at the University this term.
MEChA, which helps build a
stronger local community for Chi
cano/as, is hoping to drawup to 150 col
lege students and 400 high school stu
dents from Oregon to its conference,
which was held at Portland State Uni
versity last year. The three-day event
will cost $21,000 to host, although
some of the cost will be offset by $15
tickets sold to non-University students.
MEChA member and Ganas Coor
dinator Gerardo Ochoa said the group
was relying on earmarked funds from
other events such as Cinco de Mayo to
help raise enough money.
“We know that we can’t fundraise
this much — we’ll still have all these
events but they won’t be this big,”
Ochoa said.
Student senate members made
eight separate motions to transfer the
necessary funds, all which passed with
only one to two dissenting votes. The
senate used $1,805 of MEChA’s funds
allocated for other events and moved
$3,000 of its own $9,718 budget sur
plus to MEChA’s account as well.
The senate also transferred $220 to
the Chinese Taiwanese Student Asso
ciation. The group will use the money
to help fund their Chinese New Year’s
celebration in April.
After the two groups received their
money, the senate discussed proce
dural matters for a few minutes before
nominating Sen. Alex Dietrich to the
senate’s rules committee. Dietrich,
whose nomination was subsequently
approved by the majority of the sen
ate, will take the new post once Sen.
Jeremy “Tex” Arnold officially resigns.
Arnold is resigning because the
Wednesday night meetings conflict
with exams he needs to take to get into
medical school.
