Alyce Chong
The Student Senate is
responsible for the allocation of
more than 8 million dollars to
ASUO programs, Erb Memorial
Union, and the Athletic depart
ment. The role of a Programs
Finance Committee senator is
to act as a liaison between the
Student Senate and the commit
tee as well as allocating 4.5 mil
lion dollars to 120+ASUO pro
grams. These roles of the
Programs Finance Committee
Senator require the election of
a fiscally responsible senator
who has the experience and
dedication to serve and advo
cate for the culture and physi
cal development of students.
This past year on the
Programs Finance Committee
and Student Senate I have
gained the experience needed
to ensure that our incidental fee
will be allocated effectively and
efficiently. I would like to con
tinue to protect our incidental
fee through the commitment
and consistency that I have
demonstrated this year as a
Programs Finance Committee
Senator.
Vote For Alyce Chong, PFC
Senate Seat #1.

The purpose of the
University of Oregon is to pro
vide students with environ
ments that are conducive to
learning.While the classroom
rarely fits this criteria, most of
us will look back on our experi
ence and find we learned pri
marily through extracurricular
activities.The Programs Finance
Committee (PFC) is an organiza
tion whose purpose is to foster
relationships with student
groups looking to enhance our
atmosphere through athletic,
cultural, and political opportu
nities. I am qualified for this
committee through my experi
ence as an entreprenuer, as well
as the ability to remain nuetral
in allocating funds in accor
dance with the law. More
importantly, though, is that I
genuinely enjoy the events
made possible through the PFC
and I will do everything in my
power to help facilitate these
activities.

The purpose of my campaign
is to provide quality and fair
representation to my fellow
members of the University of
Oregon community. I am a first
year law student here at the
University of Oregon, and I feel
this university provides many
outlets for students to express
their views and beliefs.This
social exercise is essential to
student life on this campus. I
want make it my priority to
ensure that student organiza
tions have adequate funding
and a chance to make their
voices heard.The Programs
Finance Committee is the main
vehicle for providing such fund
ing. Serving as an ASUO Senator
on the PFC is the best way for
me to help my community. I
will provide unbiased represen
tation to all of the students in
this community.
Through my life experiences
and travels I feel that I can
bring an understanding of dif
ferent views and cultures to the
table. It is the job of the student
government to allow all view
points to be expressed and
heard on campus. If elected to
ASUO Senate Seat #1,1 will pro
vide an unbiased ear and voice
so that all students can have the
opportunity to be heard here at
the U of O. Vote Adrian Gilmore

Do you know what your
Senate is doing? Last year, the
Student Senate doled out over 8
million dollars. Those 8 million
dollars came from you, and you
deserve to know where your
money is going.
I am running for Senate Seat
1. This position requires many
hours of hard work and person
al attention to spread our
money fairly and responsibly
among all 119 student groups
submitting their budget to the
Programs Finance Committee.
Every year there are groups that
slip between the cracks; groups
that don’t receive any money
simply because they do not
receive the attention they need.
I will ensure that your inci
dental fees, your 8 million dol
lars, are not spent needlessly. If
you want a Senator who will
fight for you, the individual, and
someone willing to spend the
time to ensure a fair distribu
tion of the incidental fees, vote
for me. Vote for Rick Reed.

You and every other student
at the University of Oregon are
paying something called and
Incidental Fee.This fee is split
up and put into three major
areas; the Athletic Department,
EMU, and into an account that
is used to fund all of the stu
dent groups on campus. Over
the past few years these feeis
has been increasing. I feel that
there is no need for this to hap
pen. With an increase in the
number of students attending
the University of Oregon there
is more money in the pot with
out raising fees.
There has, in the past, been a
problem with people on the
finance committee also being
members of campus organiza
tions funded by incidental fees.
When this happens there bias
which leads to unfair spending
and favoritism.There is no room
for this type of bias and
favoritism at all.The finance
committee is there to help all
student groups acquire the
funding that they need in order
to function appropriately, not
help one group more then
another.
Hopefully with your vote I
will be elected to ASUO Senate
seat 2 and change the way our
incidental fees are handled. Just
remember when you look at all
the other candidates running
for seat 2, check if they are a
member of any organizations
funded by our incidental fees. I
am sure that you will make the
right decision. VOTE FOR

Mike Martell
The Programs Finance
Committee budgets over $4 mil
lion of student money. The job
is both demanding and impor
tant. As an elected finance sena
tor I will work diligently and
professionally to ensure the fis
cal responsibility and the legali
ty of all student incidental fee
dollars. This past year I served
on the Programs Finance
Committee as the Executive
Appointee; I have experience
with the job and am up for the
challenges of a second year on
the committee. The committee
this year did a formidable job
and received much praise from
both groups taking part in the
budget process and onlookers
of the budget process. I am
very proud of this year’s com
mittee and would like to par
take in the budget process as a
finance senator next year and
improve upon an already suc
cessful budgeting year. Please
vote, Mike Martell.

Joe Jenkins
My name is Joe Jenkins and I
want to work for everyone at the
University. Before I came to Ore
gon, I served for four years in stu
dent government at my under
graduate college. During that
time,I learned that every organiza
tion, no matter how small or how
large, was integral to the college
experience. Organizations pro
vide forums for meeting friends,
they increase diversity, and they
provide valuable services to the
school and community. I want to
continue to help organizations by
ensuring adequate funding to con
tinue the enrichment of the Ore
gon community.
How can I do this?
Aside from my experience sit
ting many hours in meetings
with organizations discussing
budgets and the many hours
debating and voting on organi
zational budgets, law school has
taught me how to listen to all
sides of an argument and to be
able to represent any one of
those viewpoints regardless of
my beliefs. This skill helps me
separate the beliefs of an organ
ization from my own and recog
nize value in every organization
regardless if I agree with them
or not. This is required of any
PFC member and I know that I
can be impartial and fair.
Beyond the duties of a PFC
member, I am prepared to rep
resent every student in my
duties of a senator from passing
resolutions of student opinion
to making sure the administra
tion listens to students’ con
cerns. Thank you for your time
and be sure to vote Joe Jenkins,
PFC Senator Seat 2.

It is over $8 million of your
money-the allocation of the
incidental fee will determine
and promote many of the
extracurricular opportunities
you have. As a current Programs
Finance senator I have been
dedicated to bringing you these
opportunities by working with
Law, Greek, cultural and other
student groups to responsibly
spend your incidental fees. My
experience has developed my
knowledge of student govern
ment, leadership and communi
cation skills, and commitment
to students.
In order to ensure the fair
allocation of the incidental fee, I
am committed to demanding
fiscal accountability in the
spending of your money. The
PFC process is lengthy and
complicated. To ensure the suc
cess of this process, I have been
devoted to working with our
fellow students. My knowledge
of this process along with hard
work, professionalism, and com
