Church calls education budget cuts ‘brutal’
Presidential hopeful Sen. Frank
Church, D-ldaho, told Oregon
students that the "brutal” cuts in
the federal education budget
demonstrate that education has a
low priority in the Ford Administra
tion.
After airplane engine trouble
aborted a trip to Eugene, Church
delivered a prepared speech to
students on the Oregon State
campus and called for an end to
current trends in funding.
"I am convinced,” Church said,

IFC grants
$85,478
to executive
The Incidental Fee Committee
(IFC) funded the Native American
Student Union, the ASUO Comp
troller and the ASUO executive
near their budget requests Mon
day night while quashing the
ASUO News Bureau with zero
funding.
The largest amount of the even
ing was allocated to the ASUO
executive The body received
$85,478 out of a requested
$87,353. The committee cut $700
for polls and $1,000 from a $2,000
amount requested for research
and development.
The breakdown is as follows
General Office Management and
Administration, $29,742; Ad
ministration and Finance, $6,206;
University Affairs, $17,805; State
Affairs, $31,725.
The amount allocated to Uni
versity Affairs includes $6,000 for
legal consultation and research to
be released from reserve only if
the faculty collectivizes The As
sociated Oregon Student Lobby
received $10,750, included in the
State Affairs budget.
The ASUO Comptroller re
quested funds for an additional
position to perform audits on the
EMU and ASUO. IFC members
cut $763 from that $4,842 request.
They allocated money to pay for
two work-study positions, freeing
the comptroller and assistant to
perform audits without adding
another position.
The ASUO News Bureau was to
become the Public Information Of
fice next year, before the commit
tee cut its funding. "I think it's
either a change in direction or
euthanasia,” said Jamie Bums,
IFC chairer. Most members of
the committee see the news
bureau function to serve pro
grams, not just the ASUO execu
tive." he said.
The Native American Student
Union faired well in the delibera
tions, receiving a total of $2,067.
The amount covers salanes and
administrative expenses as well
as events held annually at the
group's longhouse.

vested in American education has
gone too far. .. We cannot afford to
await another Sputnik surprise to
startle us out of our slumber. Now
is the time for a new commitment
to education."
Church said Ford’s budget
would cut Basic Educational Op
portunity Grants approximately
$180 million below the anticipated
need and would cut College
Work-Study funds by $140 million.
He also said the budget would end
G.l. educational benefits and
Vi
would trim $10 million for special
services to disadvantaged stu
dents.
“Congress can take steps to
express its own sense of priorities
for the nation," Church said. “It is
not necessary to simply roll over
and accept their sledgehammer
blows to the foundations of our
educational system. Surely Con
gress will not accept their brutal
reductions."
Church said education should
be given “more stature in the
bureaucracy,” complaining that
the Commissioner of Education’s
power is not comparable to that of
the cabinet officers. He pointed
out that the United States is the
“only country in the Western
World without a Minister or Sec
retary of Education.”
Church also said the educa
tional "crisis before us today will
not be solved in Washington, D.C.
People at the state and local level
must provide decisions suitable to
local conditions
