pay for college, keeping the fees as
low as possible, and increasing fi
nancial aid and making the finan
cial aid office as responsive as pos
sible. Another issue that I hope to
be able to tackle next year is the
lack of night classes.
Junior Gabrielle Guidero is ma
joring in geological sciences and is a
member of the College Republicans.
Speaking on Section 5, she said it
was important that senators fulfill
their duties and be there for stu
dents who have elected them.
Q: How will you figure out how to
spend the surplus?
Guidero: I’d like to see it evenly
dispersed over a variety of activities,
to things that will impact a lot of dif
ferent groups, not just one or two. I
don’t know, I
see that things
are covered the
way they
should be cov
ered in a Uni
versity. I’d like
to see a real va
riety of speak
ers brought in. I
really like
speakers.
Q: How will
you interact with student groups?
Guidero: Thoroughly and evenly.
Q: What are the most important
issues facing the students you would
represent as a senator?
Guidero: Well, since I’m the sci
ence senator, I am not sure what all
the issues are yet. (I would) bring
some attention to the science de
partment — I’m a little outspoken, I
Griffes
am sure I can
find some
ways. I really
want to get in
volved and talk
to people and
find out what
the issues are.
I’ve actually
been talking to
a lot of my fel
low students (jUldcrO
and teachers. I
need to branch out. I started in the
geology department, of course, be
cause that’s where I am every day.
Junior Jonah Lee is majoring in
exercise and movement science and
biology. He is a member of Sigma Al
pha Epsilon, the Interfraternity
Council President and the leader
ship division chair of the Communi
ty Internship Program. Lee was un
certain about which was the most
important duty
in Section 5,
but he said it
was important
to have rules
because they
enable sena
tors to be ac
countable for
their actions.
Q: How will
you figure out
how to spend
the surplus?
Lee: By working with the other
senators and getting an idea of the
interworkings of budget and things
like that. I think the best thing to do
is educate myself and educate oth
er people as far as what is the need
and what is the benefit.
Q: How will you interact with stu
dent groups on campus?
Lee: Well, if you know anybody
on campus who knows me, I’m a
fairly social person, and the actions
that I take (are) based on relation
ships and I stem the leadership off
of those relationships.
Q: What are the most important
issues facing the students you would
represent as a senator?
Lee: Lots of changes have been
taking place since I’ve been here
freshman year, everything down
from the population of student
body to budget. I think the change
of UO is consistent and it’s con
stant and moving in a direction,
and I think that trying to figure out
what that direction is a big thing
for people to understand for where
they want their community to go.

Minor changes
•2.4: Changes the word “handi
cap” to “disabled.” Voting yes would
allow disabled students to receive
the same protected access to stu
dent fee-funded activities as handi
capped students. Voting no would
keep the wording untouched.
•4.1: Increases credit require
ments for students paid for ASUO
related positions. Voting yes would
require students paid for ASUO-re
lated work to enroll for at least eight
credits per term, which complies
with guidelines set forth by the Hu
man Resources and University Pay
roll. Voting no would keep the mini
mum credit requirement at
half-time, which usually means six
credit hours.
•4.6: Prohibits ASUO elected of
ficials from voting on budgets that
could line their pockets in the fu
ture. Voting yes would modify the
conflict of interest provision. Right
now, it says elected officials can’t
vote on ASUO or EMU program
budgets in which they hold a paid
position; the new clause would in
stead stop elected officials from
voting on a budget in which they
will hold a paid position during the
fiscal year the budget is in effect.
Voting no would keep the old
clause intact.
•5.7: Defines in excruciating de
tail what “accounting of expendi
tures” is and who’s responsible for
it. Voting yes would explain the
ASUO president’s duty of submit
ting an accounting of expenditures
of all ASUO programs from the pre
vious fiscal year as “Postclose” and
define who produces the docu
ment. Voting no would leave the
phrase “accounting of expendi
tures” undefined.
•5.13: Clarifies that paid ASUO
Executive positions are subject to
the ASUO Stipend Model. Voting
yes would add the phrase “in ac
cordance with the ASUO Stipend
Model,” a model approved by the
senate in May 2000. Voting no
would keep the old section intact
with no changes.
•5.17: Clarifies the majority of
senate needed to impeach the ASUO
president. Voting yes would require
that three-fourths of the seated sen
ate vote for impeachment of the
ASUO president; currently, the word
“seated” is not used, which could
create confusion if there were any
unfilled senate seats or if there were
any senators absent from a meeting
where an impeachment vote was
taken. Voting no would keep the old
language in place.
•12.3: Removes archaic lan
guage from the Green Tape Note
book. Voting yes would strike 12.3
entirely. The section refers to a
timeline that has been obsolete for
eight years. Voting no would keep
the section intact.
•12.4: Clarifies that only inci
dental fee-paying students can vote
in ASUO elections. Voting yes
would ensure that only students
that pay incidental fees earn the
right to vote. Voting no would not
establish criteria for voting in the
ASUO elections.
•12.5: Removes archaic lan
guage from the Green Tape Note
book. Voting yes would strike 12.5
entirely. The section refers to a
timeline that has been obsolete for
six years. Voting no would keep the
section intact.
Date changes
The first four of these date-chang
ing ballot measures have been pro
posed in order to give student gov
ernment enough time to determine
proper budgets before submitting
the proposals to the University pres
ident on April 1 and to the Oregon
University System by May 1.
•5.8: Moves the deadline for an
incidental fee budget timeline
from Jan. 15 to the end of fall term.
Voting yes would require the
ASUO president and senate to
agree to a timeline for the inciden
tal fee budget by the end of fall
term. Voting no would maintain
the Jan. 15 deadline.
•6.22: Moves the deadline for es
tablishing and publishing a budget
process schedule from Jan. 15 to the
end of fall term. Voting yes would
move up the budget scheduling
process undertaken by the student
senate, in conjunction with the
ASUO president, PFG, ADFG and
EMU Board. Voting no would main
tain the Jan. 15 deadline.
•7.4: Moves the PFG requirement
to establish and publish its own rules
from Nov. 1 to Oct. 25. Voting yes
would move up the PFG rule publi
cation one week. Voting no would

•7.6: Moves the PFG’s duty of
assigning a “tag” to each ASUO
program from Oct. 15 to Oct. 10.
