the Senate surplus, the person elect
ed to Seat 1 also will serve on the
ASUO Programs Finance Commit
tee and help allocate more than $5
million in student incidental fees.
Chong, a junior business adminis
tration major with a concentration
in finance and marketing, is the in
cumbent. Chong said she wanted to
run for the position again because
PFC has had difficulties with a lack
of consistency from year to year with
a constant turnover of leadership.
She added that even though she now
knows about the long hours, endless
meetings and sustained commit
ment that PFC requires, she still
wants to return.
“After experiencing the whole PFC
process this year, it makes me want to
get more involved to protect the stu
dent incidental fee,” Chong said.
She added that she enjoys work
ing with the PFC and helping student
groups understand the budget
process, especially since she’s gain
ing experience she hopes to use as a
financial analyst someday.
Seat 2

Student Senate Seat 2, which includes
the responsibility of serving on the
ASUO Programs Finance Committee.
PFC is a governmental body that has
more than #5 million in student inci
dental fees to distribute.
Jenkins said he’s running for Seat 2
because he was very involved in stu
dent leadership as an undergraduate
and wants to get back in the swing of
things now that he’s a law student.
However, Jenkins said he wasn’t bom
a Duck, but instead migrated to the
University from West Virginia.
Going to college at the University
offered Jenkins a completely different
way of life. Before he came to Eugene,

Chong said she believes she will be
able to represent student interests
the best be
cause she al
ready has the
knowledge and
experience of
how the stu
dent incident

process works.
She added that
the time she
has spent with
the PFC and
Student Senate
has helped her grow as an individual,
especially with regards to teaching
her professionalism.
Gilmore, a first-year law student,
said he received his undergraduate
degree in finance from the Universi
ty of Georgia. Prompted by a desire
to become an active member of the
campus community, Gilmore decid
ed to run for ASUO office. He added
that it’s important to try to effect a
positive change in the way things are
run, for both yourself and those
around you.
“It’s really easy to go to school and
stay in your own bubble and not
Chong
worry about what’s going on,”
Gilmore said.
He added
that the biggest
problem he
sees with stu
dent govern
ment right now
is that some
student popu
lations are
marginalized,
such as law
students, grad
uate students
and non-tradi
tional students. Gilmore said he felt
these student groups were being ig
nored by the ASUO, and he’s had
friends complain to him about not
being able to get the funding they
need from the PFG.
Gilmore said he thinks he can pro
vide representation for all students. He
added that he has the financial knowl
edge to be an effective PFG senator, as
well as the ability to be impartial.
“I think that the thing about learn
ing to be a lawyer is you have to be
unbiased,” he said.
