Frohnmayer pledges support of voter outreach
ASUO seeks "institutional'’
approach to the process
of registering new voters
By Nika Carlson
News Reporter
ASUO officials are hoping that their
student voter registration plans will fi
nally come to fruition after President
Dave Frohnmayer officially pledged
support for student voter participation.
Frohnmayer, along with representa
tives from college and university cam
puses throughout the state, signed a
statement Thursday pledging "to take
an active role in developing institution
al strategies to engage young people in
the political process and (to) do my
part to get students to vote"
The pledge was a part of a reception
in the EMU Fir Room, hosted by Ore
gon Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, the
Oregon Student Association, the New
Voters Project and the Oregon Campus
Compact.
New Voters Project campus organ
izer Terra Sorensen said the goal is to
help make voter registration an in
grained part of the services offered at
college institutions across the state.
Ihe New Voters Project is a grassroots
campaign in Oregon, Colorado, Iowa,
Nevada, New Mexico and Wisconsin
dedicated to getting as many students
to vote in the November presidential
elections as possible.
At the meeting, Bradbury asked that
university officials reach out to each of
their students about voting.
University Executive Assistant
President Dave Hubin said the Of
fice of the President relies on ASUO
to come up with student voter mo
bilization plans.
ASUO President Maddy Melton,
however, said the administration is
not always behind ASUO's efforts.
She said she hopes Frohnmayer's for
mal pledge will translate into more
consistent support for ASUO's ideas
for voter registration.
"There are a few things that are
quick and efficient if only the admin
istration would allow us access to
them," Melton said.
Melton said ASUO wants to get rep
resentatives in every classroom and
every residence hall to talk about voter
registration and participation and pos
sibly do outreach at the University
bookstore ASUO would also like well
frequented University offices to train
employees about talking to students
about voter registration.
These efforts reach the most amount
of students in the simplest way, she said.
Melton added that ASUO needs ad
ministrative cooperation to register
high numbers of students to vote even
though the University has a long histo
ry of getting students involved in vot
ing. She said the administration often
says no to ASUO staff s ideas about get
ting students registered to vote.
"They need to start saying yes,"
she said.
In addition to asking University offi
cials to design a plan for voter mobi
lization, Bradbury requested that they
send a letter to faculty and staff in sup
port of any voter organization efforts
and that they appoint a liaison to coun
ty elections offices to help smooth the
student voter registration process.
The deadline to register to vote in the
November presidential elections is
Danielle Hickey
University President Dave Frohnmayer signed a pledge along with other state university
presidents to increase registration of voters between the ages of 18 and 24.
Oct. 12, giving the University only a few
weeks to get students registered after
dasses begin in the fall. Given that tight
deadline, final voter registration plans
will need to be in place within the next
several months, Hubin said.
Hubin said Frohnmayer will follow
through with Bradbury's requests in
one way or another.
He said the University already has a
dose rdationship with the Lane County
Elections office and always sends a mes
sage of support for student voter regis
tration to faculty and staff, though it is
usually in the form of a telephone mes
sage and not a letter.
"I think that there is a strong belief
on our part that being engaged in a civic
manner is part of being an educated
person," he said.

said of young people "They can have the
courage stand up and be one person."
University sophomore'Ibm Wray agreed
with Roberts' interpretation ofthe play.
"It's very relevant because we need
more people like him against adminis
trations that aren't looking out for the
American people," he said.
Roberts hoped that the play would
make people believe that they could
change the world.
"It takes inordinate courage to buck
the system," Roberts said. "Maybe
showing someone like Morse can in
spire that."

regular basis."
Portland's antiquated sewer system
results in the release of an estimated 3
billion gallons of untreated sewage into
the river each year, she said.
"Eugene is spending $2 million a
year to repair leaking pipes, and Spring
field is working just as hard," she said.
"But dumping raw sewage into the
Willamette is not acceptable and more
needs to be done"
Kitty Piercy, a former state representative
now running for mayor of Eugene; told the
aowd that the pollution of the Willamette
River is not exclusive to Portland. Pol
luted storm water runoff and sewage
and waste treatment issues are concerns
for Eugene as well, Piercy said.
'That is why we need to tackle this as
a city as well as urging the governor to
thoroughly clean up the whole river,"
she said.
State Sen. Richard Devlin, D-Tu
alatin, said the goal of totally eliminat
ing pollutants from the Willamette was
not scientifically feasible, but reducing
its pollution would prove worthwhile.
"As long as there are over two million
people in dose proximity to this river it
will not be feasible to prevent all pollu
tion from going into our rivers and
streams," he said. But he added that it
is important to encourage the govern
ment and businesses to be more cre
ative in redudng pollution.
After the forum, OSPIRG coordina
tor for the Willamette campaign Tan
nith Perry said she was impressed with
the panel's dedication. Perry said she
did not know how much the forum
would push the governor into deaning
up the Willamette River, though.
"I know that OSPIRG is not making
it easy to ignore this issue," she said.
"But to what extent it's going to make
him take action soon, I'm not sure."
Lane Community College junior
and OSPIRG member Else Wieseke
said she was happy to see so many peo
ple at the forum.
"It's a really great campaign," she
said. "I think it's awesome that all these
people turned out today."
