positive and creative IFC relationships with prog
rams and people. The Planned Program Budgeting
System used last year (much like zero-based
budgeting) brought clarity and reasonableness to
hearings. With minor adjustments it will work even
better.
Last Spring the EMU Board passed a policy
statement, and the IFC unanimously concurred,
which would require that the EMU return to the IFC
aD unspent Incidental Fee Funding at year’s end.
This means that about $20,000 of your money
would’ve been used to decrease this year's Inciden
tal Fee rather than be used to cover Recreation
Center and Food Service losses. This is the first
time that the EMU Board and Management have
strongly disagreed
Your vote November 1 and 2, 8 and 9 really
means something:
Vote Dusty Rhodes for IFC!!!

If I am elected to the IFC I will not favor any
particular interest groups within the University
when considering funding requests, but will seek
instead to see that all monies are distributed in a fair
and equitable manner. I am a 1974 graduate of
Grant High in Portland and have attended the U of
O for three of the last four years. I received my B. A.
in History here last sping and am now starting my
first year in law school. My most recent extracur
ricular accomplishment was the 1st Year Law Stu
dents’ Sylvester Pennoyer Memorial Run, which I
helped set up and promote. On behalf of myself I
ask for your vote in the upcoming ASUO election.

Junior, Political Science
Because I have a deep-seated interest in the
university student community and its well-being, 1
would feel it an honor to serve the students as a
member of the Incidental Fee Committee. I have
the ability to devote the time to IFC business that is
necessary for effective leadership.
The responsible delegation of funds by the IFC
controls all ASUO programs. It is important there
fore to have responsible and dedicated committee
members.
My platform consists of cost-effectiveness in
ASUO activities, while maintaining the high quality
of these activities. When evaluating the budgets of
various programs the committee should take into
consideration these factors:
1) How many students will be affected by this
program?
2) Flow much does the program cost per student
for the service?
3) Is the program trying to reach as many of the
students as possible?
4) Is the program carrying out a unique function
that students could not receive elsewhere?
5) If it applies, does the program conduct proper
relations with the Eugene community?
After these questions have been answered the
committee should be able to act in the best interest
of the student body.
Communication is an absolute necessity for posi
tive interaction between the students, the ASUO,
and the IFC for coordinated activites on campus. I
have researched problems concerning IFC and
with your support I will work toward effective
communication and fair distribution of funds.
Please VOTE JAY DONALDSON FOR I.F.C.

Junior, Economics
This is a time of continuing concern about our
money and how it’s being spent. As a past member
of the IFC, I have worked hard in constructing
sound guidelines in the allocation of incidental fee
monies. Among those guidelines are:
1. ) What is the return to the students at the U of O?
2. ) How many people are involved in the prog
ram?
3. ) How well is the money being spent?
The process of aUocating incidental fees is a sys
tem that requires hard work and dedication. I be
lieve my past experience on IFC proves that I am a
hard worker and I am dedicated to the idea of
sensible incidental fee budgets.
A COMMON SENSE VOTE FOR IFC.

The main task of the Incidental Fee Committee is
to develop the budget for the University of Oregon
during the next fiscal year.
The Incidental Fee Committee establishes the
budget in severed ways:
* All ASUO programs, old and new alike, must
submit budget proposals to the Incidental Fee
Committee.
’These programs must demonstrate a need for
their institution into the ASUO programs, their
value to the general student body, and be identified
by EMU guidelines as a legitimate student organiza
tion.
•Since the Incidental Fee Committee is elected
from the general student body, student input is
necessary for the Incidental Fee Committee to

* As a member of the University of Oregon Book
store Board of Directors I have had extensive ex
perience in preparing and researching budgets,
and working closely with the student body.
My desire in seeking a position on the Incidental
Fee Committee eminates from my experience in
dealing with budgets and the ASUO, and my be
liefs that the $32.50 incidental fee that each student
must pay each term can be better allocated to the
many fine programs and new proposals that could
better serve the needs of the general student body.
My goals as a member of the Incidental Fee
Committee and of the ASUO would be:
’To stop the escalating costs of tuition and fees
(Incidental fee went from $28.50in 1977 to $32.50
per term in 1978).
’To increase program stability without further
increases in the Incidental Fee.
’To increase, through enhanced publicity, stu
dent input. Student input is the total basis for the
Incidental Fee Committee, and therefore the sole
faction in its operation.
’Eliminate wastes without cutting into program
effectiveness.
It is important that the Incidental Fee Committee
works with a free hand to allocate funds the way the
ASUO desires, and if we work together we can
accomplish our goal. Your vote is a commitment to
these goals. You can reach me at 484-2517.
Rick Smithrud
Sophomore, Accounting
Hello! My name is Rick Smithrud and I’m run
ning for 1FC. I would like you to know the reasons
why.
I see the need in this position for someone whose
concern is for the students. Someone who encour
ages their awareness and solicits their involvement
I also believe that because this is a budgetary com
mittee it should be run rationally rather than by
partisans. Finally, I feel I have to run because I
know I can do the job.
My first step towards these ideas is to encourage
everyone to vote in the student elections on
November 1 and 2. Thank you

This year the I.F.C. will be working with about
1.6 million dollars. Of this 1.6 million dollars, one
hundred of it is your. DON’T YOU THINK THAT
YOU SHOULD HAVE A SAY WHERE YOUR
MONEY IS ALLOCATED?
As a member of the I.F.C., I see as our main
purpose the allocating of student monies among
the many fine programs already established, or
those programs that meet new student needs but
are not yet recognized.
As everyone knows you can not halt the increase
of expenditures. But they can and must be main
tained. With the increasing costs of college ex
penses, I feel that the students should get their
monies’ worth. A program should not be fully
funded by the I.F.C., but encouraged by the com
mittee to raise appropriations for their own pro
grams.
Since we are elected by the students, 1 believe
that we should evaluate programs by:
* how it meets the students’ needs
* what size of student membership does it maintain
* greater student input on whether programs are
effective or not
* how well programs enhance the student’s aware
ness of the benefits they have to offer.
I feel that by following these steps, the I.F.C. can
maintain a budget at a lower level plus increase the
effectiveness and function of all programs.
I feel that I am very capable in evaluating how
effective programs meet student needs. 1 am non
partial to any organization and therefore will be
able to review each program’s budget fairly 1 am
well organized, very energetic and above all would
like to see our money allocated better, to where it
will maximize the benefits to all of us.
Feel free to contact me for any other information
at 485-9455.

As a member of the Incidental Fee Committee I
will work for the just and consistent allocation of our
student fees. Formulation of the IFC budget should
involve input from existing programs, cooperation
with the ASUO Executive and consideration of
priorities based on a program’s past benefits-to
students record.
My goal as an IFC member would be to provide
maximum support to worthwhile and effective
programs while making every effort to freeze inci
dental fee increases.
As a means to generate revenue from sources
other than incidental fees. 1 would support the crea
tion of an EMU tavern. The profits from a campus
tavern would eliminate the need for what has be
come an annual incidental fee increase.
My past work expenence includes working with
multi-million dollar budgets. In the past I have par
ticipated in the planning and executing of such
budgets in connection with both the United States
Government (USAF) and private industry (North
ern States Power Co.)
Rich Vranizan
Sophomore, Business
Each student enrolled in the University of
Oregon paid 33 dollars for the enrichment of cul
ture on campus. This culture is made up of the
programs, groups and services that the Incidental
Fee Committee funds. If the right groups are
funded the students can reap the benefits of the
money they are forced to pay. I care about how our
money is spent.
I do not like to see our money wasted on inap
propriate programs that do not affect a majority of
the campus. I would like to see more active prog
rams for the enjoyment and use of the student
body.
I do not feel bound by tradition. It is more impor
tant that your money be allocated to programs that
serve the needs of today’s students, not
yesterday’s. After living in Walton Complex last
year 1 know how students feel on many of the
campus activities.
If a program will fulfill the cravings of a large part
of the entire campus and has a strong structure with
capable leaders, 1 will endorse it. I have strict
requirements that a program should meet before
receiving our money:
1) Clear cut descriptions of how all funds
will be spent
2) Evidence of strong leadership
capabilities within the program must
be present at the hearing.
3) Must serve a recognized student body
need.
4) A proven track record of program excel
lence, efficiency and accomplishment.
ment.
Our student programs are important and are of
great benefit to each of us. but their cost must be
contained. It is my hope that through careful
budgeting, program services can be increased
without an increased in the budget. So next year
the incidental fee will not be so much.
We as students of the University have an interest
in what goes on*, that's why I want to be elected. 1
care about how our money is spent, if you do give
me your vote.
We all pay 100 dollars a year as incidental fee. I
care how that money is spent.

I am the candidate you will not regret electing 1
am honest, intelligent and responsive No faction of
the student population, from the reactionaries to
the lunatic fringe, will escape my representation
Politics or popularity are not my motivators I am

senate for the famed South Eugene Axemen
The Incidental Fee Committee is responsible for
allocating a great deal of student monies Thus, in
the interest of fairness to all students, the committee
should seek out the input of as many students and
their interest groups as possible I propose that the
only method to accomplish this would be to raise
the consciousness of students by exposing the
committee, its members, and the funds it handles
through all our media resources, i.e the Emeralc
handbills, and word of mouth Awareness of the
