MONDAY, MARCH 28, 2016 EMERALD PAGE 3  NEWS WHY ASUO ELECTIONS

BY KAYLEEMATTER TORNAY, @KA_TORNAY Every year, the student body collectively pays $17 million to its student government via the incidental fee. To understand why voting in the ASUO election matters, forget for a moment the insignificance of high school student government and look beyond the flurry of T-shirts and clipboards. When voting closes, the winners are responsible for deciding what that $17 million gets spent on. Here are all the categories of position you can vote for:

Senate

The senate handles the majority of student money, mostly by two processes. First, finance senators spend the beginning to the middle of the academic year meeting with student groups to figure out the upcoming academic year’s budget. Executive Senate’s budget recommendation, which goes on to be approved by the ASUO and the university president, determines how much students will pay in the incidental fee the next year.

Why did you decide to run for president? I was sitting down one day and I was like: “I could let other people make decisions and hope that they are hearing what I am saying — hope they are listening to my voice. Or I can be the one who enacts those changes.” You don’t have any student government experience; will that be a disadvantage? I don’t see it as a disadvantage. I think there should be an acknowledgment that senate and the ASUO do have governing power, but I also think that we need to ASUO acknowledge there’s power within our student body as a whole. PRESIDENTIAL How do you hope to improve safety on campus? There are places on campus where there are no lights. We want to make sure that the university is a well-lit campus where students can actually safely walk home. We also want to make sure DDS and Safe Ride are expanded. How will your experiences in social justice activism CANDIDATES help your slate as leaders? When we have a problem, we can attack it from a governing [point] of view … Or we can protest. We can do direct action. We can do other things in which we can go around the system, which I think is very powerful. ➡ TRAN NGUYEN, @TRANNGNGN Why should students vote for your campaign? We want to hear all the voices, not where the power has been concentrated … And the best way to do that is to get Hear from the candidates that students from different backgrounds with different ideas to create a shared picture and put a puzzle together.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

ADVANCES TO OREGONEL TAKES PASO THREE-GAME WINNING STREAK TO EL PASO IN WNIT QUARTERFINALS ➡ JONATHAN HAWTHORNE, @JON_HAWTHORNE

The Oregon women’s basketball team hasn’t played in Texas since 2007. After rattling off three straight WNIT wins, the Ducks (23-10) have advanced to the quarterfinals and will visit University of Texas El Paso in El Paso on Monday night for a 6 p.m. tipoff. It’ll be just the second-ever meeting between UTEP and Oregon. The two teams played in 1994 in a 80-70 Oregon win in Eugene. Oregon is coming off a 73-63 win over Utah in Eugene,where it held the visiting Utes to 3-of-23 from 3-point range. Lexi Bando led the Ducks in scoring with 34 points. After the win, Oregon head coach Kelly Graves spoke to his team’s effort. “I thought tonight we played with as much poise as we have all year — in any game,” Graves told reporters after the game. Graves credited forward Jacinta Vandenberg as “a key to the tournament” after the Ducks lost the Pac-12’s co- player of the year, Jillian Alleyne, to an ACL injury. Vandenberg has averaged 9.6 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, and fifth-year senior Lexi Petersen has scored 18.3 points per game in the last three Oregon wins. “We’ve adjusted and played kind of a different game,” Graves said. “It’s working and they’re starting to believe. I think that was a big part of it: mental. Now we’re seeing and believing. That can go a long way.” UTEP (29-4), the Conference USA regular season champion, advanced to the quarterfinal round after a 79- 71 win against TCU on March 24. Before a crowd of 7,024, the Miners erased a 12-point deficit with a 41-12 run. The win tied the program’s record for most wins in a season. In the win, UTEP had three scorers lead the way: guard Starr Breedlove (21 points, eight assists), guard Cameasha Turner (20 points) and guard Jenzel Nash (20 points, seven rebounds). After the victory, UTEP coach Keitha Adams praised the raucous environment in her postgame press conference. “El Paso, the city, has rejuvenated this team,” Adams said. “Coming out and having this kind of fan support has put the gas in their tank. They’re loving it now. They love this element.” Against TCU, the Miners shot 50 percent from the field to extend their school-record home winning streak to 19 games. They’re 8-2 in their last 10 games and — like the Ducks — winners of three in a row. “Our preparation is better. We still have a bad taste in our mouth from the conference tournament,” Turner said after the win over TCU. “I kind of think we’re peaking at the right time.” In playing at UTEP, the Ducks will likely see the largest opposing crowd of the season. Oregon played before 4,462 fans in Corvallis on Jan. 8 earlier this season. “We have some young kids who are getting some valuable minutes and producing,” Graves said. “Just for Oregon guard Maite their psyche and the off-season inspiration, it can be big Cazorla puts up a shot. for them. (Samuel Marshall) I think this is a valuable experience for us. On top of that, we’re winning and having some success.” PAGE 16 EMERALD MONDAY, MARCH 28, 2016 MORNING JOB FOR STRONG BICYCLIST
