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.
To obtain a random stratified
sample of University students,

population will be questioned.
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. !
