OSPIRG heads program list
before fee committee
By KYLE JOHNSON
Of the Emerald
The Oregon Student Public
Interest Research Group
(OSPIRG) had the largest of five
budgets presented at the ASUO
executive board incidental fee
hearing Thursday night.
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<

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.
