IN BRIEF
\
Third senator resigns
from ASUO this year
The Student Senate tallied its third
resignation of the year Sunday after
treasurer and ASUO Athletic Depart
ment Finance Committee member
Spencer Crum stepped down in or
der to pursue journalism and write
for the Emerald as a freelance sports
reporter.
“Sports is just so much more to me
than politics and I think that being a
journalist is so much more to me than
being a politician,” Crum said.
Crum called the situation a “su
per-dilemma,” because Emerald pol
icy prohibits printing news articles
by students who are simultaneously
involved in student government.
Crum said he regrets not continu
ing with the Senate because he
wanted to challenge the doubts
expressed by other Senators during
officer elections earlier this term.
Some controversy accompanied
Crum’s election after he failed to
attend the majority of summer Sen
ate meetings, which provides
grounds for termination.
“When elected treasurer, I felt an
extreme need to prove people
wrong because it infuriated me that
people doubted me,” he said. “I un
derstand that I missed Senate meet
ings during the summer, but I
wanted to be here,” Crum said.
Crum worked as a swim coach in
Portland during the summer.
Senator Rob Craig, law and grad
uate student representative, resigned
Sept. 28 because of a time conflict.
Senator Khanh Le, a PFC representa
tive, stepped down effective Oct. 12
because of time commitment issues.
The Student Senate will also be fil
ing a grievance to the ASUO Consti
tution Court asking that Senator
Rahmat Rahmat be removed be
cause he has not attended any of the
five meetings this term.
Senate President Stephanie Erick
son advised Crum to make the deci
sion quickly as to not impede the up
coming Programs Finance
Committee budget season, during
which the treasurer acts as chairman
to help allocate incidental fees to stu
dent programs.

Senator Kyle McKenzie outlines a proposal to curb “unclassy” fan behavior at football
games. Senators voted 5-6 against letting him draft a “strong recommendation” to
University officials, with Senate President Stephanie Erickson (right) breaking a tie.
Senate: Debate to continue
at next weeks ADFC meeting
Continued from page 1
pay the incidental fee, they should
get the tickets they paid for. ”
Senator Dallas Brown disagreed,
arguing that one fire, fight or
thrown bottle, which the ADFC con
sidered “major” offenses, is grounds
for removal.
“If it is harming other students ...
you don’t need two times to be re
moved,” he said.
ADFC Senator Kyle McKenzie
said any student kicked out of
one game has already paid less for
access to all football games than
non-students pay for a single
football game.
He argued against increasing se
curity because of the long lines it
would create and the increased cost
to the University. He said the ADFC
proposal would affect 1 in 5,000 stu
dents, whereas hiring more security
would affect everyone.
“I’m not saying that this is for all
students. Not all students smoke
weed, throw beer on people and
burn bears,” he said. “It is showing
that we’re taking a stance and that
these stupid, stupid people will not
be tolerated in public.”
McKenzie said students can be
denied the right to student activities
if they violate the student conduct
code. Currently, Hamilton said,
non-student fans violating certain
expectations at Autzen Stadium are
not allowed to purchase tickets in
the future.
“I’d like to go back to the drawing
board. I don’t necessarily think we
are the ones who should think of
this great idea that will solve all the
problems,” Senator Monica Irvin
said. “Creating more student opin
ions is definitely a must-have in any
decision that is created.”
Student Senate requested
feedback from the student body
over this issue via phone at
346-3749, e-mail atsenate@uore
gon.edu and attending the ADFC
meeting next Wednesday. The
Emerald plans to report the location
and time of the meeting.
