Elections
continued from page 1
ASUO Elections Coordinator An
drea Hall said she was excited with
this year’s total voter turnout and
the increase of four percentage
points from last year.
“The Elections Board is absolutely
astonished with the voter turnout for
the general election,” she said. “I think
it was a lot more intense than last year.
Maybe not in campaigning, per se, but
as far as the closeness of all races.”
And the closeness seemed to amp
up the level anxiety, as many candi
dates waited in the rain outside the
ASUO office for the results, some
cheering as they were released.
“Yes, I’m excited,” said Jesse
Harding, who won an ASUO Student
Seat on the Athletic Department Fi
nance Committee. “I’m ready to tear
shit up. I’m going to be the guy that
speaks up on senate.”
Others said they were eager to get
started representing students who
elected them.
“I feel really good, and I think it's
definitely an honor that my fellow
students chose me to represent
them,” said Mena Ravassipour, who
won Senate Seat 2, a Programs Fi
nance Committee seat.
For the other PFC positions, Adri
an Gilmore won Senate Seat 1, Colin
Andries won Senate Seat 3 and Toby
Piering won his unopposed PFC At
Large position.
For the EMU Board, Slade Leeson
won the At-Large position and Ro
drigo Moreno won Senate Seat 4.
For the ADFC, Laura Schulthies
won Senate Seat 7 and Harding won
Senate Seat 8.
For ASUO Student Senate, Alicia
Lindquist won Seat 13, Arts &Let
ters/Joumalism; Kevin Curtin won
Seat 15, Social Sciences; and Jonah
Lee won Seat 16, Science.
For other positions, Sarah Koski
won a seat on the Associated Stu
dents Presidential Advisory Council,
Noah Glusman ran unopposed for
the Student Recreation and Fitness
Advisory Board and Cory Phillips
ran unopposed for the Building Fee
Committee.
Ballot Measures 15 and 20 both
passed.

InterSEXtions
continued from page 1
and Support Services Chicora Martin,
the conference theme is “The Polities
of a Multicultural Movement,” and it’s
an opportunity to bring together aca
demics to discuss LGBT issues.
Martin said Carmen Vasquez, an
activist and public policy director for
the New York Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual,
Transgender Community Center, will
be the featured speaker. Vasquez, who
spoke at the conference 10 years ago,
will lecture on LGBT perspectives on
democracy on Friday at 7 p.m. in
Willamette 110.
Martin said she hopes to bring to
gether a diverse audience for this
year’s conference.
“We get a lot of peers and col
leagues,” said Martin. She said that
the conference is more productive if
perspectives from outside the LGBT
community are included.
Persson agreed.
“I think it is a very positive move
to focus on multi-identity oppres
sions because then maybe people
can start thinking about the world in
a broader sense instead of just focus
ing on just one system of oppression
at a time,” she said.
Still, Persson said the dearth of
LGBT ethnic minorities frustrates
her. She said it is difficult to have a
stake in two communities that often
don’t see eye to eye.
“Entering and working with com
munities of color was really intimi
dating at first, partly because I’m
butch, but also because there are in
credibly few people of color that are
‘out’ to me,” she said. “My identity
often feels divided because now I
have friends on campus that are
queer and friends on campus who
are people of color, and they are very
different crowds that understand dif
ferent parts of my experience."
Other students offered different
reasons for attending the confer
ence. Senior Michael Eaves, who is
majoring in Women and Gender
Studies, said he is interested in the
“Fellow Families: Gay Male Intimacy
and Kinship in a Global Metropolis”
session, which will be held at 2 p.m.
on Friday in the Knight Library
Browsing Room
“American masculinity in gener
al and queer men’s culture in specific
is something I’m pursuing academi
cally,” Eaves said.

ence locations and sessions, please go

Briefs
continued from page 3
New York, two groups that had op
posed to the U.S.-led invasion, along
with colleagues in Britain, say that
their investigation of possible coali
tion war crimes will ensure that both
sides in the war are held accountable.
“We don’t want a victor’s justice,”
said Michael Ratner, president of
the Center for Constitutional
Rights. Referring to U.S. plans to
bring Iraqi leaders to justice, Ratner
said, “If there’s going to be an inves
tigation of Iraq, there should also be
an investigation of the coalition.”
