The hearings are scheduled to continue tonight with the ASUO Housing Office, Draft and Military Information Center, Cosmopolitan Student Association and the Migrant Labor Project expected to present budgets. University OSPIRG director Steve Park said OSPIRG’s request for $41,000 was not an ‘Inflated figure. It is an honest, realistic assessment." OSPIRG was allocated a similar amount for 1972-73. OSPIRG is a “lag and complex program," Park said. “The constituency it saves is broader based than any other ASUO program.” “It’s fair to say that OSPIRG is the most powerful environmental group in Oregon,” Park con cluded. OSPIRG executive director Steve McCarthy said the group expects sane grant money next year besides the finds allocated to the statewide program by universities and colleges in Oregon. He said the program also expected to have six Vista volunteers next year. The Asian American Student Union was the only group to request incidental fee finding for 1973-74 that did not receive money during 1972-73. Gary Kim told the board Asian Americans were the largest American minority un campus. He said they had been used as an ‘ exemplar” to other minorities trying to succeed, but “collec tively and personally” had run up against racism. John Beckwith outlined the program portion of the group’s request far 19412. Funds were needed for a Japanese art troupe, an art and photograph exhibit an Japanese-American internment during World War II, an Asian - American conference, im provement of the University library’s collection of books on Asian Americans and speakers. International Education Crater (1EC) director Bill Fidler presented a budget at 18801,1758 less than the 1972-73 allocation. The three major functions of the program are being a student travel information center, being part of the National Student Exchange and sponsoring a foreign student orientation in the fall, Fidler said. Repertory Dancers requested that $1000 of their $4200 budget proposal be used to finance an invitation they received to per form at the Expo 74 world ex position in Spokane, Wadi. Recreational Folk Dance presented a budget request of $635 to the board. Incidental Fee Committee Nine groups ask fund increase By KYLE JOHNSON SCOTT A CALL1STER Of the Emerald MEChA, SESAMEX, the Survival Center, the Black Student Union (BSU), the Gay People’s Alliance, the FSO, and the Canterbury Center presented their proposed 1973-74 budgets to the A5UO executive board Wednesday night. Alfonso Vazquez Cabrera presented both the MEChA and SESAMEX budgets He said it was “critical” to fund the MEChA cultural program, “Que Pasa Raza,” to emphasize that Chicanes are on campus. MEChA requested fMll for 1973-74 incidental fee funding, compared with the $6559 allocated to the program for 1972 73. The SESAMEX budget called for a $500 increase over the 1972 73 allocation to $3000. Cabrera was pleased with the SESAMEX loan program. He said most of the $000 loaned this year had been returned. Mike Dotten, Survival Center director, presented a budget calling for a $213.09 reduction in the 1973-74 incidental fee funding. One item was salaries. “We don’t need a director during the summer months.” Dotten also outlined a $500 program development fund. He suggested, among other things, an environmental newsletter and an environmental conference. The BSU requested a “need” budget of $15,843, an increase of $9,447 over the 1972-73 allocation “We felt the only way we could or should be funded is to put our needs down,” BSU President LeFrands Arnold said. A Black Arts Festival and a newsletter were two important cultural items in the proposed budget. D.C. Gudget hoped the newsletter “would lead to more cohesiveness among Black students.” He said the newsletter would be a “vital service” to black students because the EmeraM does not put news in a “minority perspective.” Arnold said this year’s Black Arts Festival “is one of the nicest things to happen in a long time,” and hoped to sponsor a similar program next year. Program budgets for the niaht. school and ESCAPE were scrutinized by the ASUO executive board Tuesday night. Illahe school, a multi-ethnic private school, requested in cidental fee finding of $12,206 for 1973-74. Carmen Morales told the board that 11 children of University students are among the 31 children enrolled. Morales said the school did not know bow much funding the state 4 C’s program would provide next year . She said the school received $19,012 from the program hi< N^re REGON PRISONERS COALITION PRESENTS BORN FREE WITH CO-HIT SILENT SNOW, SECRET SNOW MON. APRIL 9 150 SCI 7:00 A 9:00 pm1 ADMISSION $1.00 year, and had been told “we could hank on that amount this year.” ASUO Administrative Assistant Bill Schaub questioned ESCAPE program leaders an the need for new salaried positions in their budget proposal of $14,648 for 1973-74, an increase of $4801 over 1972-73 allocations He said many budgets presented to the board called far ‘increasing bureaucracy because of the in creasing axe of the program.” ESCAPE director Judy Coffey said the new positions were needed to maintain the program’s “credibility.” ASUO President Bill Wyatt asked the ESCAPE leaders why they favored continued mem bership in the National Student Association (NSA), instead of changing membership to the National Student Lobby. Coffey said she favored NSA because of the “amount of contacts” the ESCAPE program established at the NSA national convention last year. The con tacts were beneficial for the University and beneficial for ESCAPE.” Stressing the need to fight “psychological oppression that gay people feel from minute to minute,” Jerry Harris of the Gay People’s Alliance requested a $2,727 budget from the ASUO executive Wednesday night. Harris said that gay people have been paying through their incidental fees for movies, dances and programs that only make them fee) alienated. He estimated that 250 University students attend the Gay People’s Alliance meetings at least once a month. The program needs an office and a telephone, Harris said, so that people can call to discuss their problems, “anonymously if they wish.” Harris said that the organization wants to sponsor a Gay Week because there is a need for open discussion to dispell the myths about homosexuals, “lhe purpose of the week is to educate all students, not just gay people,” he added.
