ASUO represents,
serves students
The student government s
seven branches represent
student interests and deal
with allocating funding
By Jared Paben
News Reporter
The Associated Students of the
University of Oregon has a lot of
jobs. As the recognized student gov
ernment, it's the official voice of stu
dents on campus, carrying with it
large responsibilities.
To deal with those duties, ASUO is
split into seven different branches: the
Programs Finance Committee, the
ASUO Executive, the Student Senate,
the Constitutional Court, the Athletic
Department Finance Committee, the
EMU Board and the Associated Stu
dents Presidential Advisory Council.
Fite Executive, headed this year by
ASUO President Maddy Melton and
ASUO Vice President Eddy Morales, is
in charge of representing student
concerns and grievances, ASUO
Spokeswoman Taraneh Foster said.
"I really think that the ASUO real
ly provides a voice for students out
side of the campus community,"
Melton said. "I'd also say that the
ASUO really provides a voice for stu
dents within the campus communi
ty. We participate in a lot of conver
sations that not every student has
time to participate in."
She added that the ASUO Executive
gives students an opportunity to de
velop their leadership skills and pro
vides a good leadership model.
As the voice of students, ASUO is
responsible for lobbying the state
and federal governments on behalf
of students.
"My job focuses on advocating for
students for affordability and access
to higher education," Legislative Asso
ciate Gabe Kjos said. "I like to consid
er any job that advocated for students
pretty important. This job is a lot
more student-oriented, and focuses
on issues that affect every student."
One of the ASUO Executive's other
jobs is to organize and manage
events on campus, such as the fall
and spring street fairs, which func
tion as fundraisers for the Executive;
Weaving New Beginnings, a forum
for students, faculty and staff of col
or; a public safety forum in which
Department of Public Safety repre
sentatives discuss the state of campus
safety; the Earth Day celebration; vot
er registration campaigns and other
celebrations.
ASUO also carries a large fiscal re
sponsibility: It is charged with distrib
uting some of the $8 million in inci
dental fees collected annually from
students. That's where the Programs
Finance Committee comes in. Its job
is to fund all of the approximately 90
ASUO programs.
The EMU Board's task is similar to
the PFC's. It takes the money that the
Student Senate allocates to it and dis
tributes it to different parts of the
EMU. In addition to managing the
EMU's operating budget and dispers
ing funds, the board manages the
