IFC okays goals; hearings continue By DEBBY ABE and CINDA ARNOLD Of the Emerald Women’s Referral and Re source Service (WRRS), the Chinese Student Association (CSA) and the Drug Information Center (DIC) went before the Inci dental Fee Committee (IFC) Mon day night to request approval of their goals for next year. WRRS goals were all passed unanimously. The only goal rais ing any debate was one concern ing legislative education and ad vocacy. IFC Chairer Doug Benson questioned whether the commit tee should fund political causes. The other goals were keeping the referral and resource services up to date, communicating with the campus and community and administrating the program effi ciently. The CSA presented four goals, also accepted unanimously. The goals included having a Chinese student orientation, providing ser vices such as printing a news let ter and offering tutors to Chinese students, presenting guest speakers and cultural movies and sponsoring cultural events such as a Chinese New Year and China Night. Because the DIC’s budget had not been duplicated so each IFC member could study it, the DIC hearing was rescheduled for Feb. 28. Despite controversial discus sion concerning overlapping ser vices and benefits to University students, the IFC approved the Oregon Student Public Interest Group’s (OSPIRG) seven budget goals Tuesday evening. IFC member Janet Eggleston questioned the University’s re sponsibility to fund the goal of re search and correction of specific problems that affect the availabil ity of low-cost student housing. Eggleston said that because the University already has the Off-Campus Housing office there is no need to fund OSPIRG for a service which will benefit the state more than specific University stu dents. Randal O’Toole, local program director of OSPIRG, presenting the budget, explained that it would cost more money for the school to set up another program just for this University. The goal was pas sed 4-1 with Eggleston dissenting and Doug Benson abstaining. OSPIRG’s remaining goals passed 5-0. They included; de tecting and promoting correction of institutional discrimination against women, minorities and handicapped people; insuring consumer participation and edu cation in the plannings and work ings of local and state health ser vice agencies; promoting de velopment of a state-wide re source plan to meet the short term needs of Oregon while retaining long-term flexibility; determining present status and needs of en dangered wildlife species in Oregon, determining which Oregon streams should be clas sified as wild or scenic, making recommendations to the legisla ture and providing opportunity for students to work in other areas as important issues arise. Following a lengthy discussion of the misunderstanding of writinq specific program goals, the IFC unanimously approved the Out door Program s one broad goal to provide a resource center for peo ple seeking outdoor recreation and other outdoor pursuits. The IFC discussed the Outdoor Program budget with director Bruce Mason who was unaware that ASUO funded program s budgets must be written in the Planned Program Budget System form. Although Benson voted against each of its goals, the Recreational and Intramural Sports program received passage of its three goals. Benson relt the program, which provides recreational in tramural activity to University stu dents, was valid but could be funded by the College of Physical Education if the IFC decided not to fund it. Karla Rice, intramural program director, presented the budget and saw the following goals pas sed 5-1: providing a co-ed in tramural program; facilitating games (provide officials) and par tially subsidizing incurred office expenses. The following Craft Center goals were unanimously pass ed: maintaining an open craft center, providing classes, and sponsoring special events such as the Craft Faire, special work shops and lectures. The IFC quickly and unanim ously passed all of the comptroller’s budgetary goals, which were, to operate the office in an efficient manner, to get books set up for coming fiscal year and to insure that the Business Office receives pertinent informa tion. Club Sports described each of its 20 different competitive sport teams to the IFC, but no voting took place because the committee merely wanted more information on the program itself. IFC member Dave Tyler was not present for the hearings. Amazon (Continued From Page 1A) change in replacement value rates. ACT members are also troubled by the discrepency of ap proximately $14,000 which they think disappeared from the Ama zon budget. Chalmers said last week’s memo represents “a loss of (ap proximately) $15,000 in the wash somewhere." Minshall, who was hired last fall to fill the newly created position of business manager, was on vaca tion this week and unavailable for comment. Donald Moon Lee, assistant housing director, said he could only offer a “layman's view” of the budget issue. “What it really boils down to is a credibility sort of thing," he said. Lee was unsure whether the Housing Office calcu lates a one or two percent reserve repair rate. “The housing office cannot op erate under a deficit,” said Lee. He said rent money is a major source of the housing project op eration. Lee also said many stu dents feel “ripped off” by Amazon — “that attitude is there.” He emphasized a two-bedroom apartment at Amazon rents for $80 a month. According to Chalmers, the housing office showed $27,589 in building reserve funds in a June 30, 1977 budget prediction. An additional $28,000 was added to the reserve fund when the Ama zon demolition fund was wiped out, raising the total building re serve fund to $55,589. Last week’s memo placed the June re pair reserve balance at $41,000 including the demolition fund money. Chalmers said the “whole con troversy is important” because if a prudent housing operations man ager saw the budget deficit, “it looks like he’ll have to go out and generate more funds.” The deficit statement looks like a prelude to a rent increase, “when, in fact, there may not be the need for an increase,” accord ing to Chalmers. Chalmers is also puzzled by a transfer of $11,984 from an Ama zon structure work fund to an "en gineering condition report” pool. “It’s pretty clear that the re sources have been shifted,” he said.
