IFC allocates funds
to campus groups
By STEVE FREDERICK
Of the Emerald
The Incidental Fee Committee (IFC) allocated
$15,277.65 to five programs Monday in the first meeting of
their annual deliberations.
The committee approved 1976-77 budgets for the
Asian-American Student Union (AASU), Action Now, MEChA,
Peer Academic Counciling and Evaluation (PACE) and Beta
Alpha Psi.
Criteria for evaluation of the 65 programs funded by the
IFC will be based on ‘‘number of students served, priority of
service in student's experience, uniqueness of service (and)
potential for effectiveness, compared with past performance,"
according to a “Framework for Program Analysis" drafted by
the committee Sunday.
The committee set down guidelines in the document for
salaries, office expenses, events, SEARCH and University
classes and special projects.
Salaries will be allocated quarterly in lump sums and will
be set according to “size of the program and responsibilities of
the position." Salaried positions will follow a pay scale of $35,
$54, $75, $95, or $105 per month. Work-study positions will be
limited to $2.54 per hour for clerical positions and $3 for
research assistants.
Telephone expenses will be limited to $190.60 per year
and the number of lines granted will be based on “how a
program is staffed, hours of operation and past levels of use.
Office supplies will be based on a scale of $30-$45-$65
and will be determined by "past use of supplies and the size of
the program." Printing and duplication costs will be deter
mined by “the effectiveness of the printed material in achiev
ing program goals."
The committee limited newsletters to two editions per
term and letterhead and stationery to one color. Postage costs
will be based on the "goals of the program and the priorities of
the IFC.”
Clutter from posters and flyers drew a committee broad
side. "We recognize the need for effective publicity in the
provision of quality student services," the committee said.
"However, large quantity does not always equate with effec
tiveness. This campus is absolutely inundated with flyers and
posters. If all programs across the board produce fewer flyers,
those flyers will be more effective."
The committee limited flyers to 100 per event and limited
posters to major events. Display advertising was limited to one
display ad for a weekend event and two for a week-long
activity.
New programs, the committee said, will require more
publicity than established programs.
A minimal charge should be levied for dinners, cultural
events and the committee will "expect programs to repay the
ASUO 75 per cent of their revenues up to the point where 75
per cent of revenues is equal to the ASUO contribution," in
cases where the event is fully funded by incidental fees.

D grade still evokes act'on
By WALLY BENSON
Of the Emerald
The General Faculty will ham
mer out the particulars of the D
grade return today at their 3:30
p.m. meeting in 150 Science. At
last month’s meeting, the faculty
voted to return the D grade, but
deferred action on how exactly to
implement the change.
Among items needing faculty
action is whether course work
completed with a D should be in
cluded in the accumulation of
credits required for a University
degree and whether the F should
be added to the grading system.
The change likely to bring the
most discussion is whether the 85
percentile rule should be aban
doned in favor of a GPA system.
The original motion, sponsored by
William Lamon, teaching educa
tion associate professor, included
the clause which would switch to a
GPA standard.
George Struble, computer sci
ence associate professor, spon
sored a successful motion near
the end of the March 10 faculty
meeting which deleted Lamon’s
clause and substituted the follow
ing: "That credit for which the D
grade is earned be excluded from
the computation required by the
85 percentile rule."
The 85-percentile rule requires
that 85 per cent of all work graded
A, B, C, D, P, F and N completed
at the University must be passed
satisfactorily.
At last week's University Sen
ate meeting, however, the body
voted to rescind Struble’s motion
and recommended to the faculty
to consider Lamon’s proposal in
its original form.
Following the D grade discus
sion, the faculty will act on a mo
tion by biology professor Bayard
McConnaughey relating to “a
cross the board” salary adjust
ments for any or all groups em
ployed by the University. The pro
posal calls for increases in salary
or wages to be an equal amount
for all affected personnel — not
calculated as a percentage of the
current salary of each individual.
Decreases in salary, however,
would be based on a percentage
of the salary or wage of each indi
vidual affected.
McConnaughey says salary in
creases currently are figured on a
percentage basis, when the
money is available, to meet infla
tion and cost of living increases.
He says those at the lower brack
ets, who need the increases the
most, get only a “pittance” under
the present system.
McConnaughey’s motion was
defeated soundly in the senate,
but he says he will present it to the
faculty regardless.
