IFC okays DIC goals; hearings close
By CINDA ARNOLD

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

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.
