Speedy incidental fee meeting ends in additional budget cuts The Incidental Fee Committee took just four minutes to conduct its business at a Tuesday meeting. Women in Science, an organization that brings together women interested in careers in science, received $461, a 5 percent decrease from last year's budget. The IFC unanimously passed every item of the group’s budget, cutting only $12 from the original request. An executive reserve note was attached to the group’s largest expense — a $300 expenditure for six seminar speakers. The note, which means next year’s ASUO president must approve each expenditure of “honoraria” funds, was attached because the group had not used any of the money allocated for speakers this year. Two budget hearings were cancelled because representatives did not show up The hearing on the Amazon Community Tenants’ budget was cancelled because no representatives of the group were present, and the ESCAPE program hearing was postponed because Julie Bell, the IFC member acting as a tag for the group, did not attend the meeting. ESCAPE director Jim Doty said he was "fairly upset’’ at the delay, but he hopes to bring a large group of supporters to the Feb. 25 meeting. The ASUO Executive office has recommend ed a 10 percent cut in the group’s budget. Doty said the program will try to limit the decrease to the requested 5 percent. The IFC utilized its extra time to report on expenditures during the budgeting process so far this year. After budgeting for 31 groups, the IFC has allocated $22,730 more than it did last year at the same time. The increase concerned several com mittee members. "We re not scrutinizing enough,” said com mittee member Kathy Stebner. She recommend ed the IFC begin to question budget requests more closely. But committee member Jim Edmundson pointed out the members “are not full-time ex ecutives.” He suggested the IFC reconsider in dividual budgets at the end of the process if the total is over or under the desired goal.
