Proceeds this year might top $1,000 ‘Derby Days’ raises money for local charity The men of Sigma Chi fraternity will begin their annual fund-raiser "Derby Days" this week, with the proceeds go ing to Families with Special Needs The service project promotes healthy competition between the University's 11 sororities as well as raising money for charity, according to Sigma Chi member Steve Saltzman Derby Days originated at UCLA in 1930, and is now held annually by Sigma Chi chapters throughout the United States and Canada The Oregon Sigma Chis started contributing to the national project in 1979 The fraternity raised about $500 last year, Saltzman says He estimates the fraternity will gather between $1,000 and $2,000 this year "The Mississippi chapter made about $44,000 last year," Saltzman says "That is an indication about how big it can become " Sigma Chi chose to donate the proceeds from this year’s Derby Days to Families with Special Needs, a local program that helps the normal children of mentally retarded adults. Some mentally retarded parents lack sufficient child-rearing skills, Saltzman says Often the child receives little of the socialization skills needed for normal development, he says The children can be mentally retarded by the time they reach grade school, Saltzman says, despite being born healthy. The program currently serves approx imately 25 children aged three through eight years in Lane County. A Derby Days T-shirt sale and music, show featuring sorority acts will help boost the drive, he says The music show will be Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the EMU Ballroom. Admission will be 50 cents. A 5,000-meter "fun run" on Saturday will highlight the week's activities. The run, which will start at the Autzen foot bridge, begins at 1:00 p.m. Featured at the event will be Canadian National Ma rathon champion Art Boileau and University cross country runner Eryn Forbes. The run's entry fee of $5.95 also buys a T-shirt. To pre-register for the run or for more information about Derby Days, call 686-5293 or 485-9309 IFC denies resources for snacks The ASUO had planned to serve cookies and lemonade Sunday when Paul Olum of ficially becomes the University s next president But Monday the Incidental Fee Committee voted unanimously not to approve the expenditure for the snacks The IFC rejected the request for $210 95 to cover cookies, lemonade and food-related ex penses because of what Kar sten Rasmuseen, IFC chairer, termed an "old, long-standing, mythological policy,” which prevents the IFC from appropriating funds for food or food-related items Despite the policy. ASUO Pres Rich Wilkins, hearing of the IFC's decision, stormed into the IFC meeting room, loudly asking Rasmuseen "What am I supposed to tell the president7" “If the executive wants to do this, it should use its own mon ey,” Rasmussen suggested earlier in Monday's meeting "We believe that the long standing rule against spending money on food may legitimately be lifted for such a unique op portunity as this,” Alan Con treras, ASUO budget director, said in support of the request Contreras suggested the ASUO use money collected from the recent street fair to pay for refreshments at Olum's in auguration In other business, the IFC ap proved spending $75 of unal located resources to help the Women's Resource and Refer ral Service, Women's Studies, YWCA and Gay People's Al liance sponsor a "Women and Music” workshop on Oct 30 The sponsors asked the IFC tor $125, but members agreed only to match the amount the sponsors gathered — $75 -/ METAPHYSICAL WISDOM A tree workshop covering these toptcs and much more Reincernetton and Karma involves a complicated system including reOirlh Human Aura: Delinition ot each color in the aura arid each emotion or trait they represent Psychic Development Methods and procedures concerning the opening ot the third eye This course has been taught through the SEARCH program at trie UO lor nine years by l.ouis Pigeon Wednesday* 3:30-5:30 p.m 159 Straub Hall 44th ANNIVERSARY THRU OCT. 10th Le Sport Sac 14.90-21.90 REG. 23.00-33.00 Le Sport Sac, lightweight totes, practical and functional fashion accessory.
