Proposal tardy by six weeks IFC grants PLUS budget hearing By ANNA HOYT Of the Emerald The Physically Limited Union of Students is still eligible for 1981-82 incidental fee funding despite missing the Feb. 9 deadline for student program budget proposals by six weeks. The Incidental Fee Committee decided Thursday evening to hold the PLUS budget hearing next Tuesday, April 14. PLUS Director Chester Falter said he was unable to prepare the proposal and didn’t think his assistants had any experience with the budgeting process. Ann Alexander, IFC commit tee member in charge .of reviewing PLUS’S budget, r called Faller “irresponsible” for not contacting the committee earlier. “Anyone on the IFC would have been willing to help with the budget,” Alexander said. She recommended the com mitte reject the PLUS budget proposal. "We were under the impres sion PLUS didn’t need any funding,” Alexander said. IFC Chairer Jon Niederbach said Faller should have turned in at least a summary sheet or contacted the committee to in form it that the PLUS budget would be late. "It's bad precedent to accept a budget this late,” Niederbach said. Faller retorted that it is unfor tunate the committee would cut funding for a program that serves 10 percent of the student population. "I feel I have made a mistake and the IFC is punishing all the handicapped students for it,” Faller said. “My personality defect and the problem with the budget being late is mine, not the program’s.” Committee member Richard Sontag said he would feel bad about not funding PLUS. "We shouldn’t zero-fund the program,” he said In other business, the IFC voted to make a special alloca tion of $5,000 to the financially troubled Drug Information Center. The committee termed the allocation a "supplemental emergency request,” to cover budget deficits caused by fund ing cutbacks. The committee also voted to allocate the Health Faire $571, over half of which will have to be repaid. The Survival Center received $2,695 from unallocated re serves for the center’s Earth week and was given $2,000 which must be paid back from the event’s receipts And the committee also released $1,886 from a reserve account to the Asian American Student Union. The money will be used to fund the AASU's cultural night. 1 The continuing saga of The UnforgettaBulls” MWk <-p No one does it like the Bull. Hanni-Bull took the Bull by the horns and led an army of elephants across the Alps. But once he got there he took his Bull by the keg. Because anyone who's ever tried to lead an army of elephants anywhere knows Hanni-Bull worked up a historic thirst. The kind it took a bunch of Bull to conquer. o Hanni-Bull © 1981 Jos Schlitz Brewing Company Milwaukee Wisconsin Sign up for field studies ends Tuesday Tutoring school children for three hours a week may be some students’ idea of easy University credit. But others have found the University’s ESCAPE program has advantages in both educa tion and job experience, says ESCAPE student director Jim Doty. University students attracted by either of these benefits should know the deadline for ESCAPE registration is Tuesday afternoon. ESCAPE offers University credit to students who want to try something a little different from traditional classroom in struction, Doty says. Calling ESCAPE a “field studies program,’’ he says most students tutor in elementary schools or lend a hand to local community service organiza tions. "It gives University students a chance to look at different aspects of the community,” Do ty says. "It also gives them a chance to help people.” Corrections agencies, daycare centers, elderly and handicapped programs and legal aid services are some of the non-profit organizations that cooperate with ESCAPE. Doty says ESCAPE students enter into helping relationships with each organization, trading their time and, in some cases, their expertise for experience and credit. “We are providing extra human resources,” to the non profit community, Doty says. The field studies program has been averaging about 400 participants per term, with about a 50-percent return rate of former ESCAPE students. However, registration numbers for this term are already well above average, Doty says.
