The Oregon Commentator staff is hard at work on our ASUO Elections Issue. It will be distributed next Tuesday, the first day of voting.

Voting is taking place today and tomorrow on Duckweb for the amendment changes put forth by the Executive that would add two Senate seats [see below]. If passed, students have until the end of Friday to file papers to run for those spots in next week’s election. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that opening up filing for an position five days before an election is not standard government protocol. What would you expect, however, from an administration that has shown it knows how to take advantage of setting the agenda for its own benefit. For some reason, voting for next week’s election now starts on Tuesday, not the normal Monday start.

We at the Commentator wouldn’t give a hoot if it wasn’t for the fact we are trying to put together the next issue, which will have the most extensive voters guide on campus, a caring service to University students from Sudsy. It’s a little hard, however, to do so when we are not sure of all the candidates.

Luckily, Marty Leopard, General Manager of Western Oregon Web Press, Inc, was nice enough to pencil us into their busy printing schedule on Monday, so that we have the week-end to finish things up. Cheers, Marty!
