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

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
