Ethnic Women’s Alliance
gets first funds from IFC
By ANN PORTAL
Of the Emerald
The Incidental Fee Committee
voted Thursday to give the Eth
nic Women's Alliance $1,043 for
its 1981-82 budget.
The alliance requested
$2,620, but committee members
said they couldn’t justify such a
large budget for a group that
hasn’t received incidental fee
money before.
The EWA was founded last
year after a battle between white
and ethnic women over control
of the Women’s Symposium.
The controversy resulted in the
symposium’s cancellation.
"I think you need to recognize
that the state of Oregon is a
predominantly white state,”
said JoAnn Een, treasurer of the
Oregon chapter of the National
Organization for Women, while
testifying for the EWA.
“This group is the only group
that addresses the needs of
women who aren’t white in this
whole area.”
Patsy Kelly of the Council for
Minority Education defended
the group on the grounds that
racial separatism is necessary
to fulfill the needs of minorities.
“If you believe in affirmative
action at all, you believe in
separatism,” Kelly said.
Most of the cuts came from
the group’s requested budget
for stipends, a semi-annual
journal on minority women’s is
sues and reference books.
On Thursday night, the IFC
gave the Panhellenic Associa
tion $2,698, almost $1,500 less
than the requested $4,163.
Most of the cuts came from
the group’s request for office
supplies and printing fliers and
booklets to inform students
about Greek life.
The group's office supplies
budget was cut from $169 to
$35. The printing and duplicat
ing budget, which included
funds for the booklets, was cut
from $1,614 to $1,100.
On Friday, the IFC slashed
almost 60 percent of the Asian
American Student Union's bud
get.
The committee acted on an
ASUO recommendation that the
program's budget be cut from
the $5,935 to $4,265. The AASU
had requested a 21-percent in
crease.
ASUO vice president Chris
Moore said that although the
program provides a “much
needed service,” it has been
unresponsive to ASUO repre
sentatives assigned to review
the group’s budget and has had
trouble getting started this year.
The budget decrease was
meant to reflect "some displea
sure with their problem over the
past months,” but was “not an
effort to cripple” the program,
Moore said.
The IFC eliminated the pro
gram’s assistant director posi
ton, postage to send meeting
minutes to non-students, and
travel funds. Speaker honorar
iums and film funds were cut
nearly 50 percent.
The AASU’s largest request —
$3,300 for cultural events — was
cut to $2,000 Moore said the
ASUO questioned the
program's ability to handle large
amounts of money for cultural
events. The group lost $1,200
on a play it brought to the
University last year, he said.
A new organization, the Un
dergraduate Economics As
sociation, received only $77 of
their $682 request, but UEA
member Robert “Buzz” Clucas
expressed gratitude for the
amount.
The thanks may have been
premature, said ASUO Pres.
Dave Eaton. The program, in
tended to bring in people to
discuss economic issues,
hasn’t done anything this year,
said Eaton, who plans to veto
the budget.
The IFC reduced the Reper
tory Dancers’ budget by only 1
percent.
Janet Descutner, one of the
group’s program directors, told
the committee the dancers have
tried to trim their budget to the
bone. The IFC recognized the
group’s thriftiness and agreed
to attach a budget note recom
mending it receive more money
for costumes next year to make
up for this year’s $100 cut.
In other business Thursday,
the committee tabled the
Recreation and Intramural’s
budget request pending the
outcome of fee negotiations
with the athletic department and
the University administration.
Moore told the committee the
ASUO intended to ask that $1
per student each term be trans
ferred from the increase given
the athletic department this fall

Youth received a 1981-82 bud
get of $210.
