* Compensation to be determined
IN BRIEF
Constitution Court rules
on former PFC member
The ASUO Constitution Court on
Ttiesday upheld its earlier ruling that
former Programs Finance Committee
member Eden Cortez “acted in defi
ance of the rule of viewpoint neutrali
ty,” ordering that he remain removed
from the committee and the ASUO
Student Senate.
Writing for the court, Chief Justice
Randy Derrick stated that Cortez vio
lated viewpoint neutrality but did not
make a particular controversial state
ment listed in the initial petition filed
against him.
Oregon Commentator Publisher
Dan Atkinson, who filed the petition
with the court after a Feb. 1 PFC hear
ing of the Commentator’s budget, stat
ed in his grievance that Cortez said,
“Of course we can look at content in
determining a group’s value. Other
wise this job could be done by robots. ”
Cortez previously told the Emerald
he did not make the statement and
filed an appeal with the court.
In a “thorough review” of written
transcripts of the meeting, the court
found that a member of the audience
actually made the comment. It also de
termined that the “error made was a
harmless error which did not prejudice
the decision.”
Derrick wrote that Cortez could
have responded to the initial petition
instead of waiting until after the court
had ruled. Not doing so showed a
“lack of regard” that is "inexcusable,”
he wrote.
“When considering the nature and
severity of the error in the petition,
the Court must admonish Cortez’s
blatant negligence for failing to ad
dress such a glaring misstatement of
fact attributed to him in the petition,”
Derrick wrote.
The court also expressed discon
tent with the PFC in the ruling.
"The Court disapproves of the Pro
grams Finance Committee’s relaxed
and untimely attitude toward its duty
to transcribe copies of the meeting in
question,” according to the ruling.

Campus: Plan lacks attention in east campus
Continued from page 1
University Housing Director Mike
Eyster looked over some of the
designs with Keyes after Tuesday's
meeting and briefly discussed
their possible impact on the
residence halls and surrounding
neighborhood.
Thompson said the Long Range
Campus Development Plan has not
generated the amount of attention
from east campus residents as the
East Campus development plan has,
which she said is to be expected
given the general scope of the
two plans. The East Campus plan is
tailored specifically to development
in the east campus area.

Elections: 16.7 percent turnout in primaries
Continued from page 1
Walsh said his ticket is “not
bound by the same rhetoric” as
those who have served in student
government already.
“If you’re only going to elect people
with prior ASUO experience, you’re
only going to get people from the in
side, people who’ve been influenced
by the people before them, which is
dangerous because that means that
right now ... you’re essentially approv
ing of all the work the prior insiders
have done,” he said.
“Anybody who goes into the of
fice, into Suite 4, can see sometimes
what goes on, and that’s solitaire
and e-mail,” he said, adding that
he’d like to have a more serious stu
dent government. Rees said her
ticket represents more students than
those in the ASUO.
“It’s important to first of all recog
nize that we’re not entering this elec
tion as people who are representing
the ASUO,” she said. “We’re entering
this ... to represent students. Students
from a variety of backgrounds, a vari
ety of constituencies — that’s who
we represent.”
Anker-Lagos said, “not only do
we have the experience that the
ASUO offers, but we have these
other perspectives.”
Last week, the ASUO Election Board
ruled that the Rees-Anker-Lagos ticket
was forbidden from campaigning in
the residence halls until Tuesday,
among other punishments, because it
violated election rules.
Anker-Lagos said grievances “gen
erally slow down the process,” taking
time away from her campaign.
“It’s unfortunate that the other can
didates had to turn to grievances,
rather than other tactics, like hard
work,” she said. “We look forward to
a clean and fair election. ”
Rees said the grievances are “not go
ing to keep us from talking to students
about the issues that are important,”
noting that several of the grievances
were dismissed.
“We acknowledge the importance
of these rules, and we will be really
emphasizing that our entire campaign
will be aware of them and will be
following them strictly for the rest of
this campaign,” she said.
CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES
The seven executive tickets in last week’s ASUO Primary Election spent
about $5,700 on the race, about $828 more than last year’s four main tick
ets spent during both the primary and the general elections, according to
required financial paperwork filed by the participants.
The campaign money, furnished largely by the candidates’ friends, rel
atives and the candidates themselves, paid mainly for T-shirts, copying
and other advertising costs.
Primary elections winners Ashley Rees and Jael Anker-Lagos spent
about $1,200, while second-place challengers Adam Walsh and Kyla Coy
spent about $693.
Running-mates Jacob Daniels and Adi Cargni, who garnered just
22 votes fewer than Walsh and Coy, spent almost twice what the
winners spent, listing $2,040 in expenditures. They spent $1,500 on
T-shirts, according to the paperwork. They also spent $40 to advertise
on Thefacebook.com, a social networking Web site frequented by
many University students.
Candidates Nick Hudson and Allison Sprouse spent about $1,070,
while Evan Geier and David Goward spent about $688.
The Anthony Caruso-Robbie McEachem and Peter Flier-Christopher
Haak campaigns did not list contributions or expenditures.
ASUO Student Senate Seat 1 candidate Miles Rost, who lost in the pri
mary, spent the most of any Senate candidate, with about $241 in expen
ditures. No other candidate spent more than $25 to run for the Senate.

HOW TO VOTE
ASUO general elections run today through Friday. Students must log onto their DuckWeb accounts to
vote at duckweb.uoregon.edu.
Students can vote for all general and at-large candidates but will only be able to vote for academic
senators runningfor the seat related to their majors. Each student can vote only once. Students must vote
by Friday at 5 p.m.
Students can vote from any computer with access to DuckWeb. Campus locations include:
• EMU Computer Lab
• Kni$it Library Information Technology Center
• McKenzie Hall Computer Lab
Walsh said it is “interesting that
Ashley and Jael’s campaign was the
only one that broke the rules. ”
“We’re talking about insiders who
are apparently experienced enough to
know the bureaucracy of the ASUO
and should already know the rules,”
he said. “If they’re so experienced I
wonder why they’re the only ones that
broke the rules.
“We’ve made sure that in every
thing we do we haven’t broken any
rules ... from the littlest thing to the
biggest thing.... First and foremost, we
want to respect the students we want
to vote for us.”
Voter turnout in the primary elec
tion was 16.7 percent, an increase
from last year.
“Overall, we are pleased with the
results of the primary, but we wish
voter turnout could have been at or
over 20 percent,” ASUO Election
Board spokesman Ryan Coussens
wrote in a prepared statement.
“Despite the fact we didn’t meet our
goal, we did raise voter turnout,
which is a victory not only to
the Election Board but to the
student body as well.”
