IFC okays DIC goals; hearings close By CINDA ARNOLD and ANNA HOYT Of the Emerald The Incidental Fee Committee (IFC) narrowly passed goals pre sented by the Drug Information Center (DIC), and passed eight of nine goals presented by ESCAPE at the last of its 13 budget hear ings Monday and Tuesday nights. The DIC Tuesday ran into prob lems with their request for a full time service manager. “Student demand is too great to keep services at the present level,’’ explained Mark Miller, di rector of the Drug Information Center. “We need a profes sional.” While money was not supposed to be a factor until the spring hear ings, the subject was constantly brought up. IFC member Janet Eggleston commented that the DIC has sim ply priced itself out of the committee’s range. Miller objected and asked that the program be weighed in rela tion to other programs. The DIC goals included: to pro vide drug analysis, resource and referral service to students; to provide information on consumer safety, test results of dangerous drugs circulating in the area and a monthly comment in the Emerald. All DIC goals passed 4-3 with an understanding that the budget would have to be revised in April. The ASUO Executive budget was split into three sections: the president’s office, program ad ministration and finance office, and state and University affairs of fice. ASUO Pres. Gary Feldman presented 12 goals for the president’s office, which the IFC passed. Due to time considera tions and the lack of a representa tive, the program and administra tion office goals were lumped to gether into one goal and passed unanimously by the IFC. The state and University affairs budget re commendations, however, were shelved because no representa tive was present. Representatives from the Course Guide, which has recently been separated from the ASUO, presented one goal: to provide the /-World at a glance^ From Associated Press Reports Carter asks for new ed budget WASHINGTON —Pres.

Food-Op, the campus food dis tributor and referral service pre sented a goal to assist students in obtaining food at low costs. A spokesman for the group claimed dental Fee Committee (IFC) Mon day night were approved unanim ously. The program however, ran into opposition on its final goal. The goal stated that existing resources and services will be expanded and new services developed to re spond to specific needs of the gram.” Programs should try to come up with new ideas, Benson said. But IFC member Janet Eg gleston disagreed, saying “it isn't the role of this committee to say what the ASUO needs and what it doesn’t need. This is like starting a new program.” Eggleston felt the IFC Analysis By CAROLYN BEAVER Of the Emerald After a month of mostly nightly hearings, the Incidental Fee Committee (IFC) is finished with the first step in the grueling, time-consuming budget process. Every group desiring incidental fee funding is required to appear before the committee twice. During the first hearings, the IFC consid ered and voted on each program's goals, fol lowing specified criteria. The criteria included such things as student involvement and benefit, program efficiency and program ac countability. Several questions that came up frequently were whether a program with politicized goals should be funded, whether travel costs to con ventions and meetings were of enough direct benefit to the majority of students to warrant funding and whether the program offered a unique service. The next set of hearings will set dollar amounts for the programs. Each student pays $31 yearly in incidental fees, which gives the IFC about $1.4 million to deal with. When the IFC finishes its budget recom mendations, it passes them over to ASUO Pres. Gary Feldman for approval. From there, budgets go to University Pres. William Boyd for final approval. A new budgeting process, planned program budgeting system, is the cause for the two step hearings. IFC Chairer Doug Benson says although the new system “isn’t perfect, it's a step in the right direction.” He says it has ena bled better communication between programs and IFC members. “Now the programs come away with a better idea of how we operate.” Benson says, “Hopefully at the next hear ings, we won’t be bickering about what the program is all about. The first hearings have established “yeah, we’re agreed to fund this goal,” he says. Now the hard part comes — putting a dollar sign on the goal. Benson says he hopes that will go as smoothly. the subsidy was needed due to lack of public relations and adver tising. It passed 6-1. The Native American Student Union presented four goals to the committee: to continue to serve the Indian and non-Indian popula tion of the University, to provide resource accessibility to resource materials, books and periodicals, to sponsor at least one cultural event and to continue operation of the longhouse, a gathering center. All proposed goals passed. Health, Physical Education and Recreation presented two goals which both passed unanimously. In other business, the Compu ter Science Graduate Student As sociation passed one of two goals. Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional business and economics frater nity passed two of three goals. Eight of nine program goals ESCAPE presented to the Inci larger University population through co-sponsorship with the ASUO. IFC chairer Doug Benson con sidered the goal a desirable one, and said “every program should think of more than just their pro goal should be covered by the ASUO. The other program goals ES CAPE presented to the IFC were to keep their office open 40 hours a week, to provide training for ESCAPE leaders, to maintain an Residency rules are tough game to win The residency game is a tough game to win, according to Don Chalmers, director of the Office of Student Advocacy. At a Tuesday workshop Chalmers outlined the regulations involved in acquiring residency to qualify for in-state tui tion. Students must meet three resi dency requirements, Chalmers said. Thirteen “domicile points” are used to prove a student is estab lished in Oregon, according to Chalmers. Domicile points are in dications that a student has be come an Oregon resident, and in clude voting and paying Oregon personal income tax. Chalmers said students need to have as many of these points on their side as possible. Also, Chalmers said, students cannot receive financial support from, or reside with, their parents when applying for residency. The third requirement Chal mers stressed was that students must reside in Oregon for either six or 12 months. Students' attending institutes ol higher education can gain resi dency twelve months after moving to Oregon if they have met other requirements, said Chalmers. But in order to gain residency in six months, he said, students must have documented proof thal they have not attended any insti tute of higher learning during the first six months of their stay in Oregon. Students must also meet the first two requirements, and “must be very careful with this re quirement," Chalmers said. For more information concern ing applications for residency for in-state tuition purposes, students should contact Chalmers at Room 16-D, EMU. the film THE SECRET OF LOVING josh mcdowell college lecturer, speaks out boldly on SEX, LOVE & DATING He examines such questions as: “Is real love possible in a funky world*” “Can I succeed in marriage4” He also shares the pattern and beauty which God intended for sex, love, dating & marriage.
