It is doubtful that the ASUO can grant the department’s $200,000 request, said Bill Wyatt, ASUO president, because the total of all budget requests received by the ASUO would force a four-doilar increase per student in incidental fees. Wyatt said there is a need for a formula on which to base year-to year incidental fee allocations to the Athletic Department. Ritchey suggested that the ASUO and the department decide upon a set incidental fee figure (he used $150,000 as an example) and tie to it a cost index for price and wage increases. Wyatt felt that setting a figure is a good idea, but the cost index might cause problems in that the said. Budget requests • • • Continued from Page 1 students from receiving child care services. However, a new clause in the state law says no new students may be admitted to the program but students already using the centers could continue to do so. Keenan said that she would not know her other sources of income (such as Children’s Services Division, 4Cs, welfare) until the legislative dilemma is straightened out. She suggested that the ASUO could allot a certain amount of funds to the Child Care Center and head the rest until the fall when she would be able to present a well-defined budget. Keenan said it is a constant battle to keep up with state regulations. The program runs below stated minimum requirements in some ways but she added that it is not negligent in regards to actual care of the children. Ron Saylor came to the hearing to present the budget for Swit chboard but, since the executive was already favorably inclined toward granting the $847, he was not required to justify the budget. The money would be used to pay the Switchboard phone bill and the rent for the Eugene Youth Hostel. Citing inflation and operating costs for its new addition, the EMU requested an increase of (114,495 Saturday morning in incidental fee funding at a meeting of the ASUO executive board. The EMU request, which totaled $511,682, included funding for the Outdoor Program, Club Sports, the Crisis Center and the Women’s Recreation Association, (WRA), as well as administrative and operating expenses. Adel! McMillan, EMU associate director, told the board she expected revenue to increase $252,451 next year, but that ex penses would probably increase $366,945. McMillan told the board that civil service employees had been given 6.5 per cent pay increases and that the EMU was waiting for the state legislature to decide on pay increases for other on ploy ees. The “only brand new service” the EMU will offer next year is a crafts center, McMillan said. She said the EMU hoped to offset some of the center costs, in cluding the salary of a program director, by establishing a fee system. The new addition also will need two full-time custodians, she said. A partial breakdown of the 1973-74 request, with the 1972-73 allocation in parentheses , is: Club Sports $26,791 ($24,225) --WRA $16,801 ($14,306) -Outdoor Program $6,805 ($8,450) -Crisis Center $2260 ($760) -other EMU activities and services, including the Print Shop, EMU Art Gallery, Pacific Northwest Art Annual, and the Eugene-University Music Association $459,025 ($349,446) Gary Bartlett, Club Sports coordinator, said the program’s budget did not include any new sports. He felt it would be “un fair” to add new sports at the expense of the existing ones. Bartlett also presented the WRA budget. It included a request few $1000 to give “seed money” for a program to send qualified women to national competition, Bartlett said. “They do strive for this and it’s very discouraging to not be aide to go.” Bartlett was asked by ASUO president Bill Wyatt if WRA and Club Sports were equally funded. “I suppose it would be similar,” Bartlett replied, because WRA salaries are paid by the University’s general fund. Deak van Arsdale told the board the Crisis Center is financed primarily by the University Health Center. “To fund it totally they would have to take it out of their reserve,” van Arsdale said. The request for incidental fee funding is the difference between crisis center expenses and what the health center director indicated it would be able to pay, van Arsdale said. “We don’t speculate. We budget on what we had last year,” said the Outdoor Program’s Bruce Mason. The decrease in the program’s cost was due to the transferring of an assistant director’s salary to the EMU, which he said is a standard procedure.

UFS ~ incidental fee charges might have to rise the same percentage. Ritchey replied that without a cost index of some sort, ticket prices for athletic events would have to rise, The ASUO provides only seven per cent of the Athletic Depart ment budget. For that reason, Wyatt said that he would like to “work toward a formula that would be essentially a sub scription of tickets each year, as is done with the Emerald.” The funding plan used in past years was that the ASUO allots a portion of the incidental fees to the Athletic Department on the assumption that a certain amount of money will be made from student ticket sales. If the ticket sales do not reach the predetermined goal, then the ASUO supplys the difference. Ritchey said the pitfall of this plan is that if one of th athletic teams has a bad season, the ticket sales go down and the ASUO pays for it. He assured the executive that season ticket applications will be in registration packets this year in time for pre-registration. The administration prevented similar action last fall, but officials told Ritchey that will not happen again. Bill Landers, an assistant director, said that deleting the season ticket applications from the registration packets could account for as much as a $15,000 loss in ticket revenue. Wyatt said that he felt sure that the State legislature would lower the age of majority this year, and he asked whether the department would approve of selling beer at football games. Ritchey said the department is opposed to the use of alcoholic beverages at games because of the problem of crowd control. Landers added that the people who sneak alcohol into the games now seem to control their actions because “they know they’re doing something illegal, but if it’s legal, they’re less inclined to maintain a posture of control.” A representative of the Law Center Lone Mountain College - San Francisco will discuss their PARA-LEGAL M.S.
