tional Activities budget will probably reap the greatest
benefits from this new plan.
The towel fee budget can be adjusted only slightly,
if at all.
The Athletic Department has general made a profit
each year and has built up a large reserve which will
probably be used to finance the proposed North Bank
stadium. Thus the Athletic Department will probably
be allotted less money under the new plan. (Athletic
Director Leo Harris was out of his office Tuesday after
noon and thus unavailable for comment on the new
plan.)
Dr. J. S. Reinschmidt. acting director of the Health
Service, said Tuesday, "I doubt if this will affect our
approach (to budgeting) very much.’* He added that
the Health Service will still probably build its budget
on the basis of $7 per student.
•‘All this means, as I understand it,” he said, “is that
you estimate your budget on approximately the same
basis, but they may decide that it should be greater or
smaller."
The SU-EdAc budget is determined by a Budget
Board of four students and three faculty members.
What they will do with this new concept is hard to
determine.
But the Budget Board secretary, Student I'nion Di
rector A. L. “Si” Ellingson offers a guess.
■I doubt if the Budget Board will make many cuts in
proposals that come to them if they feel the programs
are justified,” he said. “The Board will rely on the
agencies to establish how deserving each program is.”
Requests come to the Budget Board from four main
areas—the ASUO, the Student Union, the Student
Publications Board, and the Student Union Board.
The Budget Board will be thus eliminating what
Don Schade, one of President Flemming’s budget
officers, calls “backwards budgeting.”
In the past the Board has always held hearings on
all requests, then had a long session trying to get the
projected expenses to equal the projected income.
That will be changed. Instead, the Budget Board will
decide on the basis of whether programs are worth the
funds requested for them, not whether the funds are
available.
That will be left up to the new committee, which
will be looking at the full $22. not just part of it.
Ellingson says this will definitely aid the operation
of the SU. Me was anticipating liming to cut back on
some services in the building.
The SU Hoard has always been short of money for
its myriad programs The expanding role of student
government means high budgets for the ASUO for
such items as the Poverty Conference, stalf assistance,
and other programs. And student publications have had
financial troubles, too, with a shortage of funds forcing
cutbacks in the Emerald press run and other Items.
This new plan will probably mean these groups will
increase their requests, asking for what they need, not
what they want.
Hemming. Kllingson, and Schade all admit there's a
danger in "general funding.'" even in the limited way
it's planned for next year. That danger is that depui t
merits will "pad" budgets with excess "fat."
Flemming discounts this as much of problem, how
ever. "I have always gotten realistic budgets from
these department," he says. "I have every confidence
they will continue to give me such budgets.”
And the advantages heavily outweigh the disadvan
tages.
Kllingson sums them up thin wav: "Dedicated fund
ing ties your hands. You. can't reflect changes. With
general funding you can "
Greene Discusses Viet Nam
• • •
{Continued from page 1)
Most of the vehicles in the
country travel at night with their
lights off because of American
bombings during the day.
‘ Anything that moves during
the day is Liable to be strafed,”
he explained.
Hanoi itself is a quiet city, he
said, where almost all of the
children have been evacuated for
fear of bombings. Every little
street and lane has bomb shel
ters on it, too, he said.
Outside of the city, all trucks,
jeeps and other vehicles are hid
den and camouflaged. Small
bridges which have been bombed
out are fixed in a couple of days,
he explained, too that roads aren't
closed for long.
Senseless Request
‘ You would think that North
Viet Nam during the daytime is
a most immobile country,” he
commented.
Greene posed the question of
why the North Vietnamese will
not accept President Johnson’s
offer to negotiate.
It would be “as senseless as
Hitler’s request for discussions
with the British” after France
had fallen in World War II, he
anese had said “let's have discus
sions" after they bombed Pearl
Harbor.
The speaker said that even Ho
Chi Minh hasn't the power to
, say he will negotiate, because his
i people won’t stand for it.
Real Honor
’ This war is bringing no hon
or to the name of this country,”
Greene claimed. He said the
honor of the United States is be
ing upheld by the people who
have protested against the gov
ernment’s actions in Viet Nam.
He gave as a reason why the
U S. won’t resort to nuclear bomb
ings of North Viet Nam the as
sertion that “within one day” of
such an action, the U.S. would
lose Japan as an ally. In fact,
Greene said that the official ap
proval by Great Britain and Ja
pan of U.S. policies is not rep
resentative of the people of those
| countries.
In concluding, the speaker said
that it would take two things to
bring North Viet Nam to the
conference table.
• If the United States accept
ed the provisions of the 1954
| Geneva agreement and impliment
ed them, the Hanoi regime would
' be more agreeable.
• If the U.S. would allow a
representative of the National
liberation Front to sit at the ne
gotiation table, Ho Chi Minh’s
government would negotiate.
During a question period fol
lowing his speech. Greene said
that the U S. is now fighting the
Viet war to try to retain its
balance of military and econo
mic power in Asia.
To withdraw from the conflict I
now would give impetus to left • j
wing groups in Japan, the Philip
pines, and Laos, he explained,
"but such a cost would be "in
finitely less" than the cost of
continuing the present course of
action.
Greene’s speech was punctuat
ed by a standing ovation from
the apparently anti-war audience, i
