Nick Hudson
If elected toA.S.PA.C.,I will
work towards building better rela
tions between administration and
the student body. There must be a
voice that is able to fully repre
sent all students. I am that voice.
Students need to know someone
is on their side. Someone who is
willing to fight for students needs
and concerns, like affordable edu
cation or increased access to pro
fessors. As President of Barn
hart/Riley complex, I listen to the
concerns of residents and affect
real change. As ASUO Legislative
Intern, I affect change on a state
and federal level by lobbying for
increased accessibility. If elected,
you can count on experience. I
will listen to concerns of students
and advise President Frohnmayer
on them. Students need someone
to fight for their rights!
Furthermore, there are three
important issues I think President
Frohnmayer should realize. They
are: increase access towards edu
cation, such as affordability; re
cruitment and retention of minor
ity students; and finally, creating
better relations with the commu
nity. There needs to be affordable
education for all, not just a select
* few. I am willing to stand up for
the voices of the unheard when it
- comes to affordability of higher
• education. I also realize that there
needs to be better programs to re
cruit and retain minority stu
dents. How are we supposed to
gain different perspectives with
out equal representation? There
needs to be better relations with
the community where many stu
dents live. Students need some
one they can trust and depend
on. Experience.Accountability. Re
liability. Vote for Nick Hudson!
GO DUCKS!
Sarah A. Koski
How important are your
opinions in the university sys
tem? Do you want to see
action replace promises? If so,
vote Sarah Koski for the
Associated Students Presidential
Advisory Council.
I believe that I am the most
qualified candidate to represent
your concerns. While on the
council, I would meet twice a
term with President
Frohnmayer to convey what
YOU are feeling. My two-year
experience of working for the
state of Oregon has provided
me with the necessary tools to
communicate effectively and in
a competitive setting.
As an honors college stu
dent, I have learned the impor
tance of critical thinking in
terms of developing multilateral
solutions. My work in political
science and international stud
ies has also assisted me in
understanding the importance
of public opinion, while my par
ticipation in numerous campus
activities has diversified my per
spective on student life.
VOTE SARAH KOSKI for the
Associated Students Presidential
Advisory Council. My voice is
the best choice.
Richie Carpenter
The Associated Students
Presidential Advisory Board
(ASPAC) is a student organiza
tion that can lead to great posi
tive change in the future of uni
versity issues. Representatives
on this board have a need to be
open-minded, compassionate,
and kept well informed of the
contemporary issues that affect
our university community. I
believe that this is a position
which I could fill admirably. An
involved, energetic standpoint
to the discovery of student
opinion is what I offer; I would
seek out both praise and griev
ances with utmost integrity.
Conscientiously taking these
opinions to heart, I would strive
to lobby vigorously for crucial
changes to take place. It is
vital that all concerns be
earnestly debated so as to pro
mote positive action. The pro
found diversity of personal
views at the university deserves
to be expressed in political
forum. Representatives have a
responsibility to insure that this
happens. I, as a member of the
ASPAC would fulfill this respon
sibility, to bring forth the ques
tions and concerns of individu
als from all backgrounds.
Together, all change is possible.
Vote for Richie Carpenter.
Tucker Staley
There are over 20,000 stu
dents at the University of
Oregon. There is only one
President. Thousands of stu
dents will never lay eyes on this
man and fewer still will talk
face to face with him.
However, it is very important
for the President to get input
from the students because we,
as students, are the life-blood of
this institution. The administra
tion must hear our opinions
and know where we stand. I
am running for the Associated
Students Presidential Advisory
Board in order to voice our con
cerns to the administration.
The students must be heard!
Vote Tucker Staley for A.S.P.A.C.
because sometimes you just
gotta tell The Man how you
feel.

The Student Recreation
Center is a vital and important
aspect of our campus which is
extensively used by students.To
continue the upkeep, manage
ment, and overall excellence of

Toby Piering
Allocating the incidental fee to
campus programs here at the Uni
versity of Oregon is a complicated
job that will become ever more
challenging as attendance increas
es and new programs arise. After
two terms as anASUO Intern,I
have been able to observe the Pro
gram Finance Committee as well
as the hearing process and am
confident that I possess the skills
needed to make the budget
process both smooth and success
ful. I also have ample experience
working with the budgets of past
clubs and organizations that I have
been involved with, including my
high school’s budget committee.
It is my intention to keep the
student incidental fee at its cur
rent level, avoiding any increas
es that would raise the cost of
attending the University of
Oregon. I would also like to
enhance the communications
flow between students, campus
programs, and the PFC, ensuring
that committee rules are
known, understood, and fol
lowed, in an effort to avoid any
funding problems for campus
programs.
I stand unaligned with any
particular political group or
cause. I can assure you that I
will represent the entire U of O
student body as a whole, being
just and unbiased towards all
campus programs.
Vote for Toby Piering for
Program Finance Committee
and it will be a vote for stu
dents and a vote for campus
programs.

Ethan Firpo
The Erb Memorial Union is one
of the centerpieces of our cam
pus As the body responsible for al
lotting money to many of the es
sential student programs,it is
necessary to have people on the
EMU Board that have some sort of
vision as of what is important to
students,and what is beneficial to
the student community.
I believe I have the right vision.
As a member of the EMU Board, I
will seek to make sure that a wide
range of ideas is constantly circu
lating through the EMU, working
to attract speakers and encourag
ing the organization of teach-ins. I
will make efforts to have this cen
terpiece of our campus a center
for meaningful thought, as well as
a center for the day to day life of
the student body. I will work to
make sure that the programs that
are important to the student body
that the EMU funds get appropri
ate treatment, and I will work to
make sure the EMU budget is one
that reflects the student body’s
wants.
Thank you for your considera
tion and, hopefully,your vote.

Slade Leeson
As students at the University of
Oregon, we pay the university mil
lions of dollars in tuition and inci
dental fees every year. It’s impor
tant to make sure that money is
distributed in a fair and equitable
way, a way that benefits everyone.
A large chunk of every year’s
budget goes to the EMU,and the
EMU Board is responsible for not
only allocating that money, but for
plotting the course the EMU will
take in the coming years. The stu
dent body of this university needs
competent representation on this
board, if it is to account for their in
terests. This is even more critical
now, in a time when the board will
need to work with a constricting
budget.
I believe that my positions as
Walton Complex Government
president and as a reporter help
ing covering EMU finance com
mittee meetings for the Daily
Emerald give me experience and
perspective not available to the av
erage candidate for the board. If
elected, I will represent the aver
age student with hard work, im
partiality, and a willingness to find
a good,compromise solution. I
hope that you’ll give me,Slade Lee
son,your vote for EMU Board
Member.
