Incidental Fee Committee
approves several budgets
By David Banks
Of the Emerald
Several student organizations
won another year of funding as
the Incidental Fee Committee
began its series of budget hear
ings Tuesday night But with few
exceptions, budgets were pared
noticeably from last year's
levels.
Organizations that received
unanimous approval for contin
ued funding included Off-Cam
pus Housing, Political Science
Student Union, Survival Center,
Mortar Board and the Pre
Health Sciences Center, A
campus branch of the American
Civil Liberties Union was grant
ed funding for the first time
Off-Campus Housing was one
of the few groups to come out of
the meeting with a budget
higher than requested earlier in
the year The IFC allotted the
group $5,536 even though the
group had requested a 1982-83
budget of about $5,350
The extra allotment was due
to a $110 increase in payroll
assessment costs, a $53 allot
ment for an optional program
expense, to help students find
housing during the fall, and a
slight increase in printing and
duplicating costs.
The Political Science Student
Union received about $590, a
32-percent decrease from last
year
The Survival Center took a
4 8-percent decrease in funding
in as their total allotment was
cut $700 to a level of about
$15,100
The Mortar Board had
requested budget of about $240
for next year, but were allotted
only $190, the amount recom
mended by the IFC This organ
ization received no funding last
year
The Pre-Health Sciences
Center made a request of $900,
a 10-percent decrease from this
year, but were granted only
$800 when the IFC dropped a
requested $210 for telephone
expenses.
The campus ACLU received
their $245 request
The IFC also set guidelines for
future budget meetings Each
meeting will be divided into two
parts — a public hearing, where
the program representatives,
the ASUO Executive and
members of the public may pre
sent their views, and Committee
discussion and votes on the
budget request
Each program can appeal any
•FC decision on any line item in
its budget by 5 p.m March 5 by
filing an appeal request at the
IFC office in EMU Suite 3.
Group asks for nominations
A campus committee invites nominations for
the Charles E Johnson Memorial Award in
honor of a former University acting president
and dean of the liberal arts college
The University Assembly established the
award in 1979 to honor Johnson, a professor
and administrator from 1952 to 1969 Before
becoming dean of the liberal arts college,
Johnson was an accounting professor and a
nationally respected scholar and author
Johnson, who became acting president
during the period of student-administration
confrontations in the late 1960s, believed
strongly that the University should be used as a
laboratory for testing ideas and resolving
conflicts
He also believed in the open exchange of
ideas, and that reason should be used to
resolve conflicts that arise from clashing
beliefs
The memorial award is presented annually at
the June commencement ceremony to a
faculty member who has shown a commitment
to those principles shown during Johnson's
life and career, including:
• That freedom of speech and assembly
holds a key position in American education:
• That a university can and must adapt to
accelerating social change while maintaining
its objectives of nurturing, promoting and
fostering new knowledge;
• That a liberal university is a place where it
is possible to bring up for examination all
ideas, good and bad, with the conviction that
those of little value will find their place in the
wastebasket
The award has been given twice — in 1980 to
Psychology Prof Richard Liftman and in 1981
to mathematics professor emeritus Ivan Niven
Nominations must include a supporting
statement and be sent to Claire Meyer, at the
library, by the last day of February Students
are welcome to submit nominations
jonnson s tnougnts relevant today
Following one of the many episodes that
pitted acting president Charles Johnson
against students and citizens around the state.
Johnson made the following comments to a
group of Rotarians
His remarks followed an incident in which a
group of dormitory students requested a
boycott of grapes in dorm cafeterias, because
they felt the migrants harvestina the qrapes
were being exploited Johnson eventually di
rected the dorms to stop buying grapes.
“Society wants the universities to produce
young people with high levels of technical
competence mixed with a large dose of
humanistic concern, but it's unwilling to suffer
the inconvenience of the social change that
must inevitably follow these young graduates
out into the world.
"Society wants first-rate instruction for its
young, yet it wants to limit the areas of
academic inquiry.
"It wants young people to learn new things,
yet it is disturbed when these new things tend
to change their ideas and their outlook on life
"Society wants its own values questioned by
the universities as a means of social progress,
but it doesn't want professors to ask imperti
nent questions.
"Well, gentlemen, you can t have it both
ways. You can t have an active, current,
relevant university and still have tranquility. It
has not yet been proven to me, however, that
we can t manage in an orderly fashion the
changes that must occur in our university.
