ASUO not receptive Tenants ask for funding By Tony Hazarian Of th* Emerald A student tenants group — the East Campus Tenants — is ask ing for incidental fee funding, but the ASUO thinks funding should orginate elsewhere "My question is whether it should be us or the housing office," says David Gibson, ASUO vice president of admin istration and finance "I don't see paying the (ECT) director there as different than paying a (resident assistant) " The 10-year-old East Campus Housing project is one of three off-campus, University-owned communities of single-dwelling homes run by the housing office The two other communi ties are the Amazon and West moreland projects The ECT units are located from Agate to Villard streets and from the Williams Bakery to 18th Avenue and are rented to mar ried and single students Many ECT students would be unable to attend the University without the low-cost housing, says Susan Thorpe, group coordinator But to maintain low rents and keep the community functioning, the ECT needs to establish communication with the housing office and ASUO. she says.

Thorpe says. The amount isn't enough for ECT to accomplish its goals, she adds Thorpe submitted an IFC-required goal statement outlining the groups three goals: organizing ECT, par ticipating in the maintenance and control of East Campus Housing operations and inte grating into the surrounding neighborhood The IFC approved the goals with a stipulation that funding for a community center laun dromat would be unacceptable But tenant groups have prob lems built into their goals that make IFC funding difficult, says Sheila Schain, ASUO budget director The IFC preamble states the committee should fund groups "for cultural and physical development of the students," and Schain says she isn't sure the ECT or the other tenant Weekend Special $2500 200 FREE MILES Friday afternoon to Monday morning A-WAY 683-0874 #7 Coburg Road Some Restrictions Self-help for women Self help groups are women meeting together to sfiare health information and experiences In a group atmosphere we can find support and commonality in our health and bodies Self-help groups can focus on different subjects such as lesbian health, sexuality, herbal home remedies, controlled insemination and menopause Call us for more Informa tion or to help facilitate a new group PORTLAND* FEMINIST WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER 651OSE FOSTER ROAD PORTLAND, OREGON 97206 503/777-7044 groups provide that develop ment Last year, the IFC rejected the Amazon Community Tenants' goals several times before final ly approving them in late April, she adds "I'm not sure it's our job to subsidize that sector," Schain says ‘ We may need to standar dize our policy for all tenants groups — either fund all of them or none at all " Of the ECT goals. Gibson and Schain agree community inte gration is the most contradic tory to IFC objectives While such relations with the com munity are needed. Gibson says the IFC should not be responsi ble for its funding Gibson says a liaison program needs to be established between the ECT and the hous ing office, but he's unsure where funding would originate "A goal can be valid, but it doesn't mean it needs to be funded,'1 Gibson says ~ German AUTO SERVICE VWs-MERCEDES-BM Ws DATSUN-TOYOTA-AUDI Reliable service for your foreign car 342-2912 2025 Franklin Blvd Eugene.
