Fiscal Committee funds Black Arts Festival The Black Student Union (BSU) received a $2225 budget recommendation for its Black Arts Festival at the Tuesday night meeting of the ASUO Fiscal Affairs Committee. The recommended sum would be an addition to $1000 allocated by the Senate for that activity. The Senate will discuss the $2225 budget recommendation at its meeting tonight. Deborah Barnett, assistant director from the Cultural Forum representing the BSU, said the purpose of the festival was to Survey being used to kill bicycle bill? A charge that results of a survey on bicycle use being sent to Eugene area residents will be used by the State Highway Division to repeal legislation which provides for construction of bicycle paths was rebutted Wednesday by members of the division. Ernest Drapela, president-elect of the Oregon Park and Recreation Society, had said Monday that “We have reason to believe that certain elements within the Highway Division are budding a case against the bicycle measure (HB1700) and will seek its repeal during this session of the Oregon State Legislature.” Drapela criticized the survey which asks the respondent to in dicate bicycle activity for “yesterday.” “This kind of narrow survey can provide misleading information,” he said. “This is especially so considering the weather this time of year.” However, Bill Cranford of the Highway Division disagreed with Drapela’s charges. “First of all, this survey is being done on a con trolled mailing basis over a two week period. This means that ‘Yesterday’ will be a different day for a number of different people. “We are attempting to build a profile of a typical day in January. We hope to do a similar survey in May when the weather is better. ” Cranford said the division is interesting in compiling a scientific, unbiased survey. “If we don’t do this,” he said, “opponents of bicycles will attack the survey as being unscientific and discredit the results.” Cranford said he expects the first summary of results should come out in about two months and that he has received between eight and nine hundred completed surveys so far. Concerning the charge by Drapela that well-meaning bicycle users are asked to provide information which could well be used to sandbag the entire bicycle path program, Jim McClure, bicycle en route engineer for the division replied, “Hie division has no intent to use the results of the survey to kill the bill.” “increase the awareness of the Black student towards their own heritage and to develop through entertainment and understand an appreciation of the Black heritage among all people.” Plans for the festival include an “Afro-Explo” (drama, poetry, and music), a speaker and slide presentation, a performance by the Edwin Hawkin singers, a film festival, a Blues concert, and a Soul food dinner. * Before the BSU’s request received a “do pass” Committee chairer Peggy O’Farrell cautioned committee members that if $2225 was allocated the fiscal committee budget would be cut in half. National Student Lobby representative Jeff Jefferson then requested $834 to send three representatives to the annual National Student Lobby Con ference Feb. 28 in Washington D.C. Jefferson said his purpose in going to the conference was to seek out information on a variety of student concerns. NSL received a budget recommendation of $780. Com mittee member Mike Marsh proposed this sum after con sulting fiscal committee travel guidelines. In other business Migrant Labor Project (MLP) requested a line item change to increase the salaries of MLP employes by $621. The amount will be taken from funds allocated for misceUanous expenses. MLP’s request received a “do pass” with the recommendation that MLP meet with the executive before the Senate meeting in order to unfreeze their budget. For use at Legislature Survey to ask student concerns A survey to determine the amount of student concern over the major educational legislative issues being presented to the State Legislature will be made sometime in the near future, according to ASUO Cabinet members. The survey, which was discussed during the ASUO Cabinet meeting held at 3:30 p jn. Tuesday in the EMU, will be conducted by Oregon Poll, a Eugene-based public opinion research firm. The cost of the survey is estimated to be $1600. Fred Loveys, ASUO vice president, stated that it will not be totally funded by the ASUO. The cabinet has approached University President Robert Clark with the problem of funding the survey.

The students will be selected from the Pigger’s Guide, taking into consideration predetermined percentages based on sex, class and marital status. Another issue discussed in the Cabinet' meeting was the Winkleman Amendment, which will soon be presented to a committee in order to determine whether or not it is constitutional. Hie amendment would give in dividual student complete control over the disposition of their $18 incidental fees. Cabinet members expressed the feeling that the amendment is i undesirable and that it would result in an unfair distribution of Funds. Tim Travis, chief ad ministrative assistant, feared that many students would not indicate where they wanted their Fees to go. j ASUO President Bill Wyatt stated in December that an alternative to the amendment A'ould be presented during winter erm. However, during the meeting Tuesday, he displayed a wait and see’ attitude, ex aressing the hope that the con stitution committee would ieclare the amendment un- I constitutional. !
