Committee gives money to groups By GINGER BARNES CXVw&mraM Charged with the unenvia ble task of doling out $2 3 mil lion to more than 60 student programs, the University's In cidental Fee Committee still operates as the most indepen dent tee committee among state colleges and universities The seven-member commit tee, composed entirely of students, is responsible for awarding money to such var ied student programs as the Hawaii Club. Repertory Dancers, the Psychology Club and the Amazon Childcare Center Incidental tees this year — determined by the budgeting process completed last spring — amount to $44 per term, down $6 per term from last year Fees declined partly because the IFC convinced the University's administration and the Oregon State Board of Higher Education — who ap prove the level of incidental fees — that students should not be required to subsidize the athletic department by paying the full price for athletic tickets for events they might not attend Instead, students will pay half price for the tick ets they choose to buy Of the $2 3 million in in cidental fees $1 1 million will go to the EMU for administra tion and programs, $544,000 will go to the athletic depart ment and $499,000 will be al lotted to ASUO programs A small unallocated reserve of approximately $5,000 gives the IFC some flexibility to re spond to special requests, says IFC member Karsten Rasmussen It's not always easy to de termine which programs should receive incidental fee support. Rasmussen says, because there is no set IFC policy to determine which groups exist outside the "cul tural and physical” program definition the IFC applies to groups it funds However, religious activities are not funded by the IFC, nor are strictly academic pro grams that receive financial support from the general fund, he says Incidental fees generally are not given to be used as start up funds, Rasmussen says, because the committee is reluctant to award money to a group that has not proved its "viability and ability to use the money effectively and ef ficiently," Students who want to find out more about incidental fees and the IFC process are invit ed to attend IFC meetings, Rasmussen says <S>f 'Trail'/.
