Pay raise costs EMU extra sum A recent contract between the University and the Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation will cost the Erb Memorial Union ap proximately $5300 for this fiscal year, EMU director Ad ell McMillan said at a board meeting Tuesday. The contract granted GTFs a 13.8 percent pay increase, re troactive over the last two years. McMillan said the money would be used to grant the EMU’s three night managers who are GTFs a pay increase, originally not budgeted for, and to allocate back pay to the three night managers of the EMU last year who were also GTFs. The money can'be made up from salary savings from a recent governor’s freeze on hiring, McMillan said. McMillan said the EMU will also be hiring an additional night man ager next year because of work load limits set by the contract. In other business, EMU busi ness manager Bob Schultz re ported that figures through Oc tober show that EMU main desk revenues are $4,000 lower than what they were last year while food service revenues are up $13,000. Schultz said the in crease in food services revenues could be attributed to good man agement and that the decrease in main desk revenues was "almost totally due to no concerts this year.’ The board also elected Trida Sewell, a student, to fill a board position and announced that the application deadline for a vacant famttv nnsitinn is Thursday. City to sell rejuvenated dwelling Any family that has at least one child and that earns less than the Eugene median income may apply to purchase the three bedroom, two-story house at 144 W. 11th Ave. The house was relocated and rehabilitated through the city's community de velopment allocation to the westside neighborhood and is up for sale to a family with a less than average income (median income for a family of four in Eugene is $16200). The house is selling for $58,000 and through a financing technique that al lows low-income families to afford the house. The house will be open for viewing from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Fri day. Applications and informa tion may be obtained from 144 W. 11th Ave. or by cal ling 687-5279 during the hours of the open house only, or from City Hall. Rm. 106. 777 Pearl St. Applica tions must be submitted be fore noon. Dec. 13. Ten applications will be drawn at 2 p.m. on Dec. 13 in the City Council Cham bers. The first family whose application is drawn will have the first opportunity to qualify and acquire the house. If the first applicant cannot be qualified, city staff will proceed in order through the 10 applicants until a qualified buyer is found. IFC reserve fund shortage keys budgetary postponement After discovering a severe shor tage in its unallocated reserve fund, the Incidental Fee Commit tee postponed funding for a number of programs Tuesday af ternoon. Most of the unallocated reserve fund (which originally totaled $4,741) is tied to the unapproved IFC budget for 1978-79. and has been earmarked for other ex penses by the University ad ministration. The IFC, left with only $700, will hold another meet ing Thursday afternoon, after de termining the precise level of the reserve fund. "I request that all our sup plementary budget requests be tabled until we are sure we have enough money,” said IFC member Dusty Rhodes. “How can we possibly fund them?” Scott Bassett then recom mended that the IFC establish emergency budget criteria be fore we take any action” on the funding decisions The committee then concluded that the remaining $3,600 never existed, while IFC Chairer Janet Eggleston promised to study the problem “until we have a dear idea of the situation.” In other action, the IFC voted unanimously to approve a line item transfer within the Drug In formation Center budget to cover travel expenses. The money will offset the costs of a recent DIC trip to Portland. The committee also voted against funding the director of the 3D Multi-Cultural Forum for travel expenses to Santa Barbara Calif. Jocelyn Jefferson, the director of 3D only since July, made the trip in October to investigate the possi bility of establishing another Saturday Market in Eugene that would raise funds. Jefferson said she thought the program's "travel expenses” budget would cover the trip, but the IFC felt otherwise. The committee voted unanim ously to reimburse Jefferson only for her bus trip to the Portland In ternational Aifport, and not for the plane trip from Portland to San Francisco. The committee felt the trip was not justified within the goals of the 3D program. Finally, the IFC unanimously passed a motion which allowed the SEARCH program to spend more than $100 for each film sponsored by the group. Previous regulations limited the group to $100 expenditures for each film. * * * * Let Us Wrap Up Your Christmas Shopping * Besides our good ideas for the hard to please people on your list, we will wrap your gifts from ttie Bookstore for free.
