The bulk of student funds received by the EMU annually are used for house administration—staff salaries, food service in the cafeteria and soda bar, and main tenance for the building and its meeting rooms, lounge, ballroom, and offices. "House administration" also includes personnel and supplies for the EMU Print Shop, which offers inexpensive printing and copying services to the University Com munity; the EMU Poster and Sign Shops, which greatly facilitate campus publicity efforts at low cost; and the Main Desk, which gives information, sells ads for the Oregon Daily Emerald, cashes student checks, sells theater, concert and bus tickets and maintains a small student store among other services. INCIDENTAL FEE Students pay incidental fees at the beginning of each term during registration. Incidental fee payments, amounting to about $19 per student per term, are part of the total incidental fee budget which is allocated by the ASUOand approved by the State Board of Higher Education. The student incidental fee is used to provide "for cultural and physical development of the students at the University of Oregon." This years incidental fee budget amounts to $837,209.65. A good part of that money goes to the Erb Memorial Union and the Athletic Department. The remainder of the budget is taken up in a bulk subscription to the Oregon Daily Emerald and funding for the ASUO government and programs. The incidental fee is administered by ♦he ASUO. Those students who have registered and thus paid the incidental fee are automatically members of the ASUO and are properly expected to be involved in the decisions affecting the development of the ASUO programs and their level of funding Two ways to influence how the incidental fee will be allocated are 1) by attending Senate Fiscal Committee and Senate budget hearings, and, 2) by voting for candidates to the Senate who will represent your views. EMU HOUSE f ADMIN. ASUO PROGRAMS ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT The ASUO provides partial support ot the UO Athletic Department through an incidental fee allocation amounting to $135,000 per year. Prior to 1971, the Athletic Department received a much larger allocation of the incidental fee. Under an agreement made between the ASUO and the Athletic Department, however, incidental fee support was cut to the present level, with the balance of support to be made up in ticket sales to athletic events. The new policy proved successful during the pilot year, 1971-72. FIND' OUT, PLUG VDV 1973/73 EXECUTIVE 308 EMU SENATE 310 EMU PROGRAMS They're spending YOUR money !
