Pass var from asp to vbscript

Hey all, is there a way that I could reference or pass a variable from the asp code on a page to vbscript between vbscript tags?

<script type="text/vbscript">
personFor=<%AuthUser.Name%>
</script>

Just >
<%
If staff = "No" Then
personFor = AuthUser.Name
personBy = AuthUser.Name
Else
personFor = Request("UserSel")
personBy = AuthUser.Name
End If
%>

Then between the <vbscript> tags

personFor="<% = personFor %>"
personBy="<% = personBy %>"
