IFC approves reduction in athletic department fee SOUND SWAP Ilf Lane County Fairgrounds April 26, 1981 Sponsored by KZEL-FM and The Day IslandGroup A plan that would reduce the student fee portion of the athletic department budget has been submitted to the University administration. The Incidental Fee Committee unanimously passed a proposal Thursday night that would reduce the athletic department’s portion of the incidental fee from $17 to $12 per term. The administration and the State Board of Higher Education raised the fee from $5 at the beginning of this school year. Under the proposal, students would make up for the revenue taken from the athletic budget by paying $2.50 more for football and basketball tickets. If student attendance at the games provided more than the expected revenue, the extra cash would revert to the incidental fee “carry over” account, which can be used to lower the fee the following year. Tickets to all other sporting events still would be free. The proposal was delivered to the adminis tration shortly after the meeting. University Pres. Paul Olum has said he approves of the proposal in general. The IFC passed another proposal that would change the funding method for the Recreation and Intramurals program. The program now receives approximately $2,600 in incidental fees and $90,000 from the physical education depart ment. Under the new proposal, half of physical education’s contribution to the intramurals pro gram would be put into a "transfer account” along with $45,000 of the incidental fee money earmarked for the athletic department. The money would then be paid out to the athletic department and intramurals program as it’s always been. Agencies offer credits, stipend University students can earn upper-division credit and a stipend while working for a local community service agency in the University Community Action program. Through UCA, juniors, seniors and graduate students can gain practical work experience and University credit while working in Lane County community service agencies. “UCA can be an integral part of a student's university education,” says UCA director Anita Runyan. “It’s more than a work experience because theories are applied and problem solving is initiated." The program — offered through the Com munity Service and Public Affairs school — gives credit to students from any major, but it is specifically designed for students interested in human services and administration. After meeting with a UCA staff member, applicants are matched with agencies. The student and agency representitives explore pos sible opportunites and agree on job responsibli ties. Students work 32 hours a week in the agency for a nine month period. Many participants can receive upper-division credit that meets requir ements in their major. And participants earn a $175.00 monthly stipend. Application deadline is May 1. Application forms are available at Hendricks Hall. For more information, call UCA at 686-3813 or Tel-lnfo at 686-4636. Board reconsiders proposals The University’s proposed doctorate degree program in computer and information science will be reconsidered by the State Board of Higher Education on Friday at Oregon College of Education. The CIS Ph D. program would begin in the 1981 -82 academic year. The department eventually expects to enroll 15 students and award three doctoral degrees each year. The Universtiy computer and information science program presently offers a bachelor’s program and a two-year master’s degree pro gram. The doctorate program would require a min imum of three years of full-time study beyond the bachelor’s degree. Oregon State University offers the only other computer science graduate program in the state. The board will also reconsider a proposed Oregon State off-campus, part-time bachelor’s degree program of studies in Central Oregon. The program’s prospective students would be those unable to leave the Central Oregon region to enter a full-time program at a state university campus. The program has been planned in coopera tion with Central Oregon Community College which will provide classroom space, academic advising and library services to the off-campus students. The meeting will be held in the OCE Educa tion Building, Room 127, beginning at 10:30 a m. Eaton Continued from Page 1 “That’s exactly the point.” Leeman agreed. “The statutes now give the board presidents and faculty certain responsibili ty. This bill proposes to take out one of the methods by which those responsibilities are car ried out.” “Basically,” Monroe said, “you don't want the students involved in this at all.” “Involved is not the question, sir.” “You don't want the students in control?” “That is correct."
