FSO asks ASUO
to free budget
ByKYLEJOHNSON
Of the Emerald
The Foreign Student Organization (FSO) executive board ap
proved a recommendation Friday that a letter be sent to the ASUO
requesting the thawing of the frozen FSO budget.
The recommendation came as the FSO board attempted to
reorganize the FSO after its budget was frozen when its presidential
elections were declared invalid in October.
In other fiscal action, the board requested FSO executive
secretary Arshad Pirani to determine the amount of salary former
FSO President Davoud Davoudi and former FSO Vice President Abid
Sheriff were entitled to before the budget was frozen and how much
each received. According to ASUO figures $391 was drawn for salaries
from the budget allocation of $1200.
On a motion by Esawey Amashe, the FSO board gave its approval
for the discontinuance of its long distance billing number. Amashe felt
a person with FSO business to conduct could use his own personal
[hone and then ask the FSO for compensation.
Amashe’s motion came as the result of ASUO budget figures
which showed that by Nov. 31, the FSO had exceeded its annual budget
of $200 for telephone and telegraph by $212.
Before beginning deliberations on a proposed new constitution,
chairer Ranjan Ray said the present FSO constitution could not be
amended “into shape” because there were too many “internal con
tradictions.”
Ray also suggested the board approve a new constitution by more
than a simple majority from its twelve members because FSO
members would probably approve whatever the board suggested.
After further discussion the board approved a motion by Amashe
that approval of three-fourths of the board members be required for
approval.
The only major issue board members debated vigorously was
whether to allow students with immigrant visas to participate in the
FSO. Ray believed those with immigrant visas should be allowed to
participate. He said the Indian student organization would not have
been able to conduct its cultural program in the fall without the help of
the immigrant students.
Amashe felt the immigrant student was “under different
pressures.” He said they did not have to worry about applying fen- a
new visa each year, and that they did not have to pay non-resident
tuition.
The board approved with no objections a motion to include im
migrant student in FSO.
The executive board will meet again at 3:30 p.m. Friday.

considering ratification of the
amendment.
The ASUO will provide
stamped postcards and a list of
names and addresses of state
legislators and will mail them
also.
To find out what stage the
amendment has reached in either
house, anyone may dial 1-800-452
0290 (Salem) free of chaige.
If the amendment is ratified by
two-thirds of the states, the
Constitution of the United States
will “prohibit denial of equality
of rights under law by United
States or any state on account of
sex.”
Paige Jackson, ASUO ad
ministrative assistant at the
University, gave a graphic
example of the kind of situation
that passage of the amendment
would affect.
“In the area of Civil Service, a
male classified as ‘laborer 1’ is
not required to have any
education, skills or experience.
The only requirement is good
health. His salary is $506 a
month.
“For a ‘secretary 2,’ the
roughly corresponding position
for women, the requirements are
at least a high school education, a
typing speed of 60 wpm and a
knowledge of shorthand and
filing. Her salary is $370 a month.
“This example shows quite a
discrepancy that would be
alleviated by the amendment.”
Peace Week
Mayor Les Anderson has
proclaimed the week of Jan. 20
Jan. 26 to be Peace Week in
Eugene. The Mayor, in his
proclamation, urged “each
citizen in our community to
participate in activities that will
strengthen his understanding of
peace and express his preference
for solving international
problems through methods other
than armed conflict.”
A number of local
organizations have planned
public events during the week,
including films, dinners, and
speakers.
