IFC debates ASUO program goals Some of the largest budgeted ASUO programs this year, includ ing the Office of Student Advo cacy (OSA) and the Survival Center, offered their goals for dis cussion and vote at Sunday’s In cidental Fee Committee (IFC) budget hearing. OSA Director Don Chalmers and attorney Chuck Spinner pre sented their five-goal case which IFC members unanimously pas sed. By CAROLYN BEAVER Of the Emerald The OSA asked that its five divi sions be continued next year. Those five areas are. the director's office and legal ser vices, student defender, legal re search, research and develop ment and retainer divisions. Janet Gillaspie, Survival Center director, proposed four goals for consideration, including improv ing environmental education op portunities at the University, in creasing political awareness con cerning environmental issues, ef fectively organizing environmen tal information resources and operating the office in a more effi cient manner. The first goal was easily ac cepted, 6-0. An “ideological prob lem,” according to IFC Chairer Doug Benson, arose concerning the second objective, increasing political awareness. 3* OVER NIGHT SO MINIMI M 8 am - 8pm KINKOS 344-7 Q94 ’128 B ALDER STREET 2nd floor. Atrium '■ 485-1063 Benson feared that through funding the IFC would be endors ing certain political issues. He in dicated funding political involve ment for various programs would be recurring throughout the hear ings and feared setting a danger ous precedent. The vote was 5-1, with Benson dissenting. The last two goals were quickly and unanimously passed. The political support issue also came up in discussion of the Off Campus Housing Office’s goals. The objective of implementing a legislative lobbying effort for housing-related issues, however, passed 6-0. Benson questioned whether student students should be paying for a benefit derived by the entire community. Efficient office management, community and campus educa tion and a landlord/tenant com OSA, five others approved plaint system were passed as ac ceptable goals for Off-Campus Housing, 6-0. The vote was 5-1 for a goal to research issus to relieve lanlord/tenant problemms. Janet Eggleston dissented. All Music Steering Committee objectives were passed unanim ously. Committee member Ray Morse presented four goals: offer ing guest artists, providing public ity for those artists, partially spon soring a chamber music series and partially funding an opdta workshop class. Committee members argued that artists brought in would not be duplications of possible Cultural Forum performers. Jeff Warren warned against too much centrali zation of activities in support of the measue. There was some question about funding part of a class, as in the opera workshop case. Benson felt students involved in the class should take the financial respon sibility. The Hawaii Club had only one goal, which was approved 5-1, with Eggleston dissenting. Hawaii Club members volunteer all time and effort for other club activities, but asked the IFC to support the annual club Luau. Eggleston called it a "nice thing, but I don’t think we should pay for it.” Other IFC members compared it to various IFC-supported cul tural nights. The Condon Society, a geology interest group, was the last prog ram heard Sunday night. Their goal to expand their current lec ture series was passed 6-0. A goal to provide field trips was heavily debated, yet passed 4-2, with Ted Walker and Eggleston casting the negative votes. Com mittee members questioned the benefit of geology field trips to the general student body. The goal was approved with the stipulation that all information from the trips be made availabe to the student population. The last Condon Society goal, r to provide an office and phone, was approved, 5-1. Jeff Warren dissented. Monday night, at 8 p.m. in the EMU, Room 101, the hearings continue. On Monday’s schedule are the Women’s Resource and Referral Center, the Chinese Stu dent Association and the Drug In formation Center. IFC members encourage all interested students to attend and participate. European Charters o Eurail/Studentrail ° Friendly Advice MORE...
