ASUO executive candidates will square off tonight in a debate at 7 p.m. in the Living Learning Center Performance Hall.
Free pizza will be served at the event. Keith Smith, a visiting associate political science professor, will give a brief talk about student governments and campaigns.
Sam Johnson, ASUO elections voter education coordinator, will moderate the debate between Rock the Yellow’s Kari Herinckx and Jesse Hough, Oregon Action Team’s Sam Dotters-Katz and Johnny Delashaw, and Andrew Cattermole, who has no slate or running mate.
Johnson said questions were solicited from the Forensics Debate and Speech, campus media, the Holden Leadership Center and University President Dave Frohnmayer.

The candidates also submitted questions to ask each other.
Each team will make opening statements, field the same number of questions and have one minute rebuttal time for each question, Johnson said.
A candidate fair will take place earlier in the day, from noon to 4 p.m. in the EMU Amphitheater. Candidates will set up information tables and engage in informal debates if they choose.
There is a second debate scheduled for next Tuesday, April 15, in the Mills International Center, but it will only occur in the event of a run-off election.
Primary voting begins Tuesday and ends Friday at 5 p.m. All voting takes place on Duckweb.
