Oregon prices have been at least equal to that of other schools But I have no idea how much the (athletic department) will ask for " Next week's meeting will be the first discussion on the amount of subsidy the ASUO will give to the athletic depart ment in the 1982-83 fiscal year For the 1981-82 fiscal year, the ASUO contributed $544,000 in student fees, coupled with a projection for $220,000 in student ticket revenues, for a total $764,000 Contreras says there’s little doubt that the student ticket total is well below the $220,000 target “The question that's never been raised is whether or not the ASUO is obligated to make up the shortfall," Con treras says The balance between student fee money and ticket money is what will determine the level of ticket prices The athletic department will probably push for a higher student fee alloca tion — in essence, guaranteed money — and lower ticket prices to increase attendance. Faced with protecting pro grams of its own, the ASUO will likely have different ideas. “The ASUO is committed to an in crease of 50 cents in student fees to uphold ASUO programs in face of enrollment drops,” Contreras says “Now we must decide whether or not to uphold the athletic department in the same manner.” Oregon's decision matches ticket price increases an nounced by the other Northwest members of the Pacific 10 Con ference this winter The University of Washington upped its prices by $2, to $12 for reserved seating The student price to watch the defending Rose Bowl champions play will remain at $4 2673 Willamette • 484-0996 Next to the Black Forest Tavern Delivery Service gjuVftN KITC& ALL YOU CAN EAT!
