Strauss said a slew of other events will fill out the elections events this week. Also on Tuesday, the Student Recreation and Fitness Center is spon soring an election fair on the lawn near Agate Street, south of Hamilton Com plex, from 1 to 4 p.m. Strauss said the elections board has high goals for voter turnout. "This year we're doing 10 times more than years in the past," Strauss said. "Ten times is an exaggeration, but we're taking it farther because we have a very ambitious goal of a 25 percent voter turnout... I think that obviously due to reasons beyond our control, everything has been crunched down. But we've definitely made every effort we can to increase voter turnout and make our goals and make sure all of the students know what's going on and get a chance to get out there and vote." Strauss stressed the importance of students voting in the election, point ing out that student government lead ers have a role in allocating millions of student dollars every year. Last year, only 15.22 percent of stu dents voted in the primary election, and the year before 15.3 percent voted ASUO ELECTIONS What: ASUO Elections Candidate Fair When: Monday, April 12, from 11 am to 3 pm Where: Memorial Quad in front of the Knight Library Why: Meet candidates and ask questions What; Student Recreation and Fitness Center-sponsored candidate fair When: Tuesday, April 13, from 1 to 4 p.m. Where: Lawn near Agate Street, south of Hamilton Complex What: 2004 ASUO Primary Elections When: Begins 9 am Monday, April 12, and ends 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 14 Where: DuckWeb Why: Elected student government leaders are responsible for millions of dollars of students’ money What: ASUO Executive Candidate Debate When: Tuesday, April 13, from 7 to 9 p.m. Where: EMU Fir Room SOURCE: ASUO Elections Board in the primary and 10.5 percent voted in the general election.

INDONESIAN continued from page 1 the narrator intoned. Indonesian folk stories often have strong moral points, Surowidjojo said. The play also alluded to modern events. Toward the end of the play, a projection screen showed anarchic street scenes from 1998, when rioting Indonesians forced longtime dictator Suharto to resign. The play also worked to transition be tween the dances and other demonstra tions of traditional Indonesian culture. Six women, performing a jaipong dance, twisted their shoulders, necks, hips and hands to music. Tjhin's performance of tari srimpi, a palace dance that emphasized the slow, careful movement of her hands and feet, was her first, she said. For the past month, she learned by following a videotape. One of the more dramatic dances ushered in the flood scene of the play, when PERM1AS members sprinted from the back of the ball room to the front. A film of an Indonesian puppet play was also shown on the projection screen. The "Legend of Dewi Sri" told the story of how rice was created. Tradi tional Indonesian puppet plays used to last from dusk to dawn, but Sunday's story was edited to several minutes. "It was good," sophomore Ryohei Ishii said. "I liked it a lot because they included the educational aspect to the show." Peter Sur is a freelance reporter for the Emerald. JONES continued from page 3 of "IntroDUCKtion" program to help you adjust. Picking a place to live won't be as easy as taking over your friend's lease, especially if you move to a new city. Getting together to watch "The Real World" will probably come to an end, because 1) your friends don't live in the same city and 2) the show has never been as good as when Stephen threw Irene's stuffed animal into the Puget Sound. Yes, it is time to close this chapter in The Book of Life, but by no means do you have to skip ahead. Now that the slate is wiped clean and ready for a new adventure, you finally get the chance to follow your dreams. Ever wondered what it was like to live in a city that gets sun for more than three months at a time? Well, now you have the chance to move there. Longed to be a news sportscaster? Now you can go out and be one, instead of just watching "Dream Job" all the time. It won't all be easy, but it sure is going to be exciting. Maybe while you're running around the country following your dreams, you may just actually meet that special someone, who unfortu nately wasn't as easy to find as the weirdo sitting next to you in class. But we all follow different paths, and maybe marriage isn't even on your path. I watch "The Newlyweds" and can't help but feel sorry for Nick Lachey, who has yet to realize that Jes sica's brain is never going to be as big as other parts of her body. So, don't spend your last eight weeks searching for that special someone at Rennie's. You have dreams to start following. Keep walking down your own path and I'm guessing that someday your path will collide with someone doing the same thing. Contact the columnist atmarissajones@dailyemerald.com.
