First of all if elected I would do
everything in my power to
return the Men’s Club baseball
team to Varsity status. We are
currently the only Pac-10 school
without a Men’s Varsity baseball
team and that is just wrong.
Secondly, I will work to ensure
that all Women’s Varsity and
Club sports have sufficient
funding in order to be competi
tive. Women’s athletics are an
important aspect in represent
ing our school’s diversity, and
we must make sure that they
are well taken care of, while at
the same time not neglecting
our men’s sports.
Funding is and will always be
a major concern of most, if not
all, athletic clubs and teams.
When dealing with budgetary
decisions my policy will be to
talk with each team in order to
provide an appropriate alloca
tion of funds designated for
each group. If we do experi
ence a budgetary shortfall, then
I will work with athletic groups
in reaching out to the commu
nity in an attempt to find dona
tions, and if that proves not to
be successful then I will work
on setting up fundraising events
for teams.
Through a combination of
, paying close attention to budget
decisions and allocation of
funds, and listening to every
. ones’ needs, I believe that we
can create an Athletic
Department full of competitive
teams and players who have
access to everything that they
need in order to be successful.

Committee Seat 9
Kevin Day
Through my involvement on
IFC and my current role on
Senate and ADFC, I have gained
the experience needed to suc
cessfully be a leader on this
campus. I feel it is important
for this committee to have con
tinuity from year to year, as stu
dent ticket contracts are based
on the previous years. This past
year, I worked closely with the
current ADFC chair to learn all I
can about the committee as
well as establish a base relation
ship with our contacts in the
Athletic Department. I believe
that this makes me the best
qualified candidate to fill this
position. Not only can I bring
my experience and leadership
back to the ADFC, but also to
the Senate.There are only two
guaranteed returning senators
to next year’s board. I can use
my experience on senate to not
only ensure that I serve pro
grams fairly, but also to help
new senators feel comfortable
and capable in their positions.
Senate will be much more effec
tive and productive with more
returning senators. Vote Kevin
Day for Student Senate Seat #9

As an ASUO Athletic
Department Finance Senator I
will make my best effort to
ensure that all student inciden
tal fees are used in the best
interest of the students. I will
attempt to ensure that the stu
dents are getting the greatest
benefit from the incidental fees
they pay. To do this I would
negotiate with the athletic
department regarding the cost
and location of student tickets. I
would also try to ensure that
there are sufficient numbers of
seats available to students for all
sporting events on campus,
especially for those who seem
to be high in demand, such as
football and basketball, making
it so that the die-hard fans of
Duck athletics are not left with
out a seat at all sporting events.
As a Senator I will also ensure
that all incidental fees are used
efficiently. I will evaluate how
they are currently being spent
and tighten up the spending of
the funds. Funds will be allocat
ed based on which operations
are being efficient, with those
who do not operate efficiently
and in the best interest of the
students being allocated fewer
funds so that they do not con
tinue to waste the students’
money. I will also make sure
that any excess funds are either
spent on beneficial projects or
returned to the students, ensur
ing that the students’ money is
not squandered and used
against their best interest.

STUDENT SENATE
According to the ASUO Constitution, the Student
Senate has two major functions! First, it is re
sponsible for distributing more than 8 million
dollars in incidental fees to three major pro
grams: ASUO Programs, the Erb Memorial Union
(EMU), and the Athletic Department. As part of
this responsibility, it establishes budgeting bench
marks or guidelines by November 30 for each of
the three Finance Committees (ASUO Programs
Finance Committee, EMU Board, and the Athletic
Department Finance Committee) responsible for
creating line-item budgets for the Major Program
areas. Three Finance Senators are elected to serve
on each of these Finance Committees. These
Senators play an essential role in maintaining
ongoing communication between the entire Sen
ate and the Finance Committees as the commit
tees develop the budgets for each area. The full
Senate approves a lump sum budget amount for
each Major Program area at the conclusion of
the budget process in the spring.
The second function of the Student Senate is to
represent the UO students in the faculty-student
University Senate and University Assembly, which
debate and set general University policies. Sena
tors also sit on student-faculty committees, run
the Information and Grievance Table in the EMU
Lobby, approve ASUO executive appointments,
and hold regular office hours each week.
The Senate is composed of eighteen members, fif
teen of who serve for a two-year tenn and three who
serve for a one-year term. The permanent structure
of the Senate includes the following: three Senators
who serve as members of the ASUO Programs Fi
nance Committee (2 two year seats and 1 one year
seat), three Senators who serve as members of the
EMU Board (2 two year seats and 1 one year seat),
and th ree Senators who serve as members of the
Athletic Finance Committee (2 two year seats and 1
one year seat). These nine Senators are known as
the “Finance Senators”. The remaining nine Sen
ators are elected by major to represent academic
departments and are referred to as "Academic Sen
ators” (all two year seats).
Experience in ASUO programs and in accounting
or budgeting would be helpful, but it is not neces
sary. The stipend for positions is about
$ 175/month from September to May. These posi
tions are expected to work about 15-20 hours per
week. The Senate meets once a week.
Rebecca Shively
I am running for senate be
cause after spending the last two
terms as anASUO intern and sit
ting on OSPIRG’s state board, I’m
eager to stay involved in student
politics. I enjoy being familiar
with the issues that most directly
effect students, and I would like
to learn more about the inciden
tal fee allocation process. I am
currently a freshman, and a
pledge in the Pi Beta Phi sorority.
As someone who loves this cam
pus and someday hopes to work
in public policy, I look forward to
this opportunity to represent U
of O students and the things that
matter to them most.

Stefan Myers
“Dear Voter,
My name is Stefan Myers I
am a Junior here at the
University of Oregon. I am
majoring in journalism with an
emphasis in Public Relations
and I am running for Academic
Senate Seat #13. Let me briefly
tell you why I feel I am quali
fied for this position. After High
School due to financial
restraints I enrolled at
Clackamas Community College
where I was hired as the
Legislative Senator for the
Student Government. The fol
lowing year I was elected Study
Body President and worked dili
gently to build a strong student
club/union system while
increasing access for low
income students through strong
childcare and textbook grant
programs. I sat on the Board of
Education and President’s
Council making sure that the
student voice was heard in
every capacity. Here at the
University of Oregon I am cur
rently the ASUO Legislative
Associate. Where in addition to
lobbing for students of higher
education, I also organized
numerous voter registration and
education campaigns and a
lobby trip to Washington D.C..
In closing, I feel that I am quali
fied for this position and am
ready to make a positive differ
ence for Journalism students
and the rest of the University ol
Oregon student body.”
Ashlee Stefani
Students at the University of
Oregon pay incidental fees,
which are distributed among
student programs, the EMU and
the Athletic Department.The
responsibility of the ASUO
Senate is to allocate this money
to these deserving groups.The
increase in tuition and the grant
cutbacks next year will require
that the ASUO budget stretch
even further. Thus allocating
these resources efficiently is
more important than ever.
Since there will be more
competition to fund these pro
grams, it is imperative to be
cost-efficient. I am making a
commitment to engage proac
tively with these programs to
understand their goals and
financial needs.This means get
ting to know the programs out
side of their monthly budget
meetings.The degree to which
money is limited is unprece
dented, and I will work to
ensure that students receive
their dollar’s worth.
If elected to the Academic
Senate, I will strive to work
directly with the student groups
by providing support for their
cause and encouraging the
physical and cultural develop
ment of the student body. I am
open-minded, impartial and
hard working. Vote Ashlee
Stefani for Academic Senate,
Seat 13.
Alicia Lindquist
Hello, I am Alicia Lindquist
and am a junior in the School of
Journalism. I became interested
in running for senate seat 13
when I realized that as a jour
nalism student, what was Senate
really doing for me? We are a
large group with many diverse
people, opinions and ideas, so
who is helping us get our voice
heard? The answer I came up
with of course was “I don’t
know!’’Well I am ready and will
ing to change that and take on
this responsibility to represent
the Journalism and Arts schools.
I am currently the
Panhellenic President and was
on Panhellenic Council last year
as the Risk Manager. I know
that I have the leadership skills
as well as the listening skills to
help students in these majors
and bring their voice to Senate.
As you know Senate allocates a
lot of money to many different
student groups and I want to
make sure that every group gets
heard and helped if possible. I
am confident in my abilities to
help all of you and do a good
job while on Senate. However,
this position is really about
what you want me to do for
you and not about my resume.
So come and tell me your ideas
and what I can do to help.
Remember to vote for the voice
and you will see progress!

My name is Adam Turcott
and I want to be your ASOU
Senator. I am pursuing this posi
tion because I believe in the
University of Oregon and I
believe we can work together
to keep the University among
one of the best. Due to recent
budget cuts we are now forced
with a dilemma, but I will fight
to keep the programs we have
at their full strength. It is true
that I am not an ASUO insider,
but I feel that this is a great
advantage to the organization
