COUNCIL
continued from page 1
for her third term representing the
area.
"I think it's important to have
someone on the council who repre
sents ordinary people, the interests of
the environment and the interests of
citizen participation," she said. "Al
ways environmental protection is
number one for me."
Taylor said she will continue to pro
tect open spaces, promote citizen par
ticipation and work to acquire stream
corridors.
Running against her is Washington
Elementary School Principal Maurice
Denner.
He said he frames most of his con
cerns — including clean air and water,
living-wage jobs and public safety —
from the perspective of an advocate
for children.
"If we're doing a good job of pro
viding for our kids, we're doing a
good job of providing for their par
ents, their grandparents and future
generations," he said.
Ward 7
Ward 7 includes parts of down
town, along with the Whiteaker, Train
song and River Road neighborhoods.
Incumbent Scott Meisner said his
campaign is driven by the fact that he
has not accomplished all the goals he
had when he first took office in 1997.
His essential goals include econom
ic development, downtown revitaliza
tion, organized city government plan
ning, stable funding for public safety,
and protecting parks and open spaces.
Meisner said that he felt confident
about what he had accomplished thus
far as a councilor.
His opponent, Andrea Ortiz, how
ever, expressed concern about the di
rection of the council's efforts.
"I feel like the community voice
isn't being heard," she said.

District board member and volunteers

mission, said one of her main concerns
is the future of the Trainsong neighbor
hood if the railroad and industrializa
tion is allowed to overwhelm the area.
She said she also wants to strengthen
neighborhood identity, promote home
ownership and improve the treatment
of the homeless and the underserved.
Ward 8
Ward 8 encompasses the Churchill
area, some of Highway 99 and borders
West Eugene out to Green Hill Road.
Chris Pryor, public affairs manager
for the Willamalane Parks and Recre
ation District, is running unopposed to
represent that ward.
Pryor has served on the 4J School
District board for the past 11 years, has
worked with the Eugene Area Cham
ber of Commerce and has volunteered
for United Way of America. He said he
has also studied and taught leadership
for many years.
He said the key to a working city is a
balance between quality of life and
quality of livelihood, which includes
living-wage jobs.

ELECTION

as a whole, which also violates section
12.1 of the ASUO Constitution.
"Providing every member of the
University of Oregon student body
with the least burdensome, most con
venient elections process is simply an
impossibility," Yoshida wrote. "The
majority ... seems to be unduly con
cerned with the potentially adverse
educational affects on a relatively
small segment of the overall student
body, the University of Oregon law
school community.
"Whether it be law students, gradu
ate students, political science majors,
business majors, or any other segment
of the overall student body, the elec
tions process may work an incidental
... harm or inconvenience to a
particular student group."

With the Court's latest rejection of
the proposed election dates, Day said
she will be forced to schedule the elec
tion during a weekend, which is
something that has never been done
before. Day is now proposing the pri
mary take place April 12 through
April 14, and the general be moved
up to April 16 through April 19.
Day said it will be difficult for the
Elections Board to work with these
dates and to attract student voters
who aren't on campus during the
weekends, but they will do what they
can to raise awareness.
"We're going to do what we were
hired to do, which is hold an elec
tion" she said. "It's just really disap
pointing when you're working with
leaders who don't have the same pri
orities you do."
