Facilitator lauds PIRGs
‘Students are mobilizing in every western state'
By DANE CLAUSSEN
Of ttw EnwraM
The key to affecting important issues is
organization says C B Pearson, a public
interest research group consultant for the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast states
And organizing is the verb for organiza
tion," Pearson says
Students are mobilizing in every western
state ' says Pearson who was in Eugene last
week to advise the University's branch of the
Oregon Student Public Interest Research
Group
Pearson says he works for Ralph Nader as
a facilitator of communications, though
Nader's organization has no connection with
PIRG organizations He assists students who
want to start PIRGs or expand existing ones
and he teaches organizing skills, he says
Looking at the history of student
movements no group has been so successful
as the PIRG.' he says
OSPIRG used to be one of the premier
PIRGs in the United States and needs to be
revitalized Pearson says
"Oregon has a rich history It needs to
recapture that "
OSPIRG's two major problems are a lack
of resources and a lack of student continuity,
according to Pearson There are many new
students in OSPIRG this year and both goals
and staff-student relationships should be on
going Pearson says
Pearson says he talked with OSPIRG
members at the University about goals and the
present situation of OSPIRG and came away
critical of the Incidental Fee Committee s
decision to cut OSPIRG's budget by 76 per
cent
He rules out apathy as a reason for
OSPIRG's problems ‘ Apathy is a popular
excuse for not knowing how to work together "
"My experiences in Colorado and New
Mexico show me that students do care "
He says an audience of 40 at a recent
OSPIRG debate on hand gun control was
"pretty good when you compare it to a city
council meeting turnout "
"I feel this is a pretty active campus,"
Pearson says
Pearson met with ASUO officials last
Wednesday and apparently told them he was
opposed to the large cut made in OSPIRG's
budget
ASUO officials told Pearson that
OSPIRG s credibility in the past has come from
"obtective research that both sides can use
and the group had been decreasing this kind of
work in recent years, according to ASUO Pres
Rich Wilkins
"We told him why OSPIRG had been cut,
Wilkins says adding that the ASUO wanted
OSPIRG researching and other groups ad
vocating rather than OSPIRG doing both
"There is never enough that can be done
in advocacy, but student dollars can't fund two
advocacy groups and not research groups,'
Wilkins says adding that "research brings
advocacy
OSPIRG should be supported more if it is
back on track by the time budget hearings
roll around, Wilkins says
IFC passes lending resolution
By DANE CLAUSSEN
Of the Emerald
Five out of eight resolutions
made their way past the first of a
series of Incidental Fee Com
mittee goal hearings
One resolution approved un
animously. forms an ASUO IFC
Credit Committee and would
save the ASUO $13,000 per year
by eliminating the current pay
back system said ASUO
budget director Alan Contreras
Under the current system, the
ASUO allocates money to
groups who expect to pay it
back, assumes those funds will
not be paid back and ends the
year with a surplus he ex
plained
The new committee consist
ing of the IFC chairer, a repre
sentative of the ASUO Pres
ident's staff, and an ASUO
comptroller, could allow an or
ganization to deficit spend for
a specified period of time.
Contreras added
Some IFC members said the
new system would allow groups

to borrow money tor uses not
sanctioned by the ASUO but this
would not be a problem if
groups repaid the funds
All loans would have to be
approved by the new committee
case by case IFC chairer Kar
sten Rasmussen stressed
Resolutions prohibiting
student travel outside a five
state region, funding of
religious activities arid funding
of food drinks, and directly
related expenses also were ap
proved
The words religious organ
izations were deleted to
eliminate any objections to
funding organizations whose
names might indicate religious
activity but who are granted
funds for cultural and other
reasons, such as the YMCA
YWCA and Jewish Student
Union
The committee unanimously
agreed with Rasmussen that
religious-name resolution was
necessary, although several
members questioned specific
points
Other members noted that
other questions include decid
mg on the objectivity of com
paritive religion functions and
funding organizations which do
religious activities" with non
IFC funds
