Manager bids ‘adieu’ to EMU
By Richard Burr
Of th« Emerald
The new EMU business
manager has his or her work cut
out, says Bob Schutz, who
leaves that position today to
become business manager for
the Hult Center for the Perform
ing Arts.
His successor has not yet
been named
The stagnant economy is
"affecting us drastically,"
Schutz says EMU revenue has
been declining since the begin
ning of 1981, he says
Before the recent downward
trend, revenue had increased
every year for the eight years he
had been business manager,
Schutz says
Although the EMU has cut its
expenses, the administration is
"still fighting the tide of the
economy,” Schutz says.
As students tightened their
belts, the incidental fee funding
for the student union building
has remained the same
Previously, funding increased
with inflation, he says
The EMU also must eliminate
a $150,000 cash deficit, Schutz
says The deficit was originally
$240,000
The food service lost almost
$78,000 about six years ago
when students formed satellite
food services to fund lettuce
boycotts that took business
away from the EMU. he says
An end to the controversy and
better management contributed
to a $20,600 food service profit
last year, Schutz says Now
those profits finance the annual
Main Desk deficit, he says
"The Main Desk will always
lose money," Schutz says The
desk provides many services
that don't make money, he says
The print shop is one
department doing better Last
year the shop lost money, but it
is expected to break even this
year, Schutz says
The print shop is sensitive to
market conditions, making it
undependable as a revenue
source The shop must adapt to
constantly changing tech
nology to keep competitive.
Schutz says
The recreation center is also
competing with changing in
novations from downtown busi
nesses. he says. While it is still
losing money, as of September
the center has lost about $3,800
less than last year. Schutz says
The recreation center will do
better in the future, he predicts
Schutz says he enjoyed his
position because he worked
with a variety of people and
EMU areas
But he is leaving the EMU for
the hot spot of the town right
now The Hult Center for the
Performing Arts will provide a
new challenge, Schutz says
The Hult Center will have
more high technology
equipment, which will allow
more sophisticated accounting
procedures, says Schutz. who

Alcohol program
targets relatives
Confronting alcoholics with their problems
through intervention techniques leads to a
successful cure rate 90 percent of the time,
according to Neil McNaughton of Serenity Lane
Alcoholism Treatment Center.
' Our intervention program usually consists
of a formal meeting with those who really care,
says McNaughton "The alcoholic is forced to
confront his problem, and with professional help,
the progression of alcoholism can be interrupt
ed "
A program entitled Intervention: Persuading
Problem Drinkers to Seek Help"' will be presented
by Beta Lambda, an honorary club for University
health majors, on Thursday in the South Eugene
High School cafeteria The two-hour program
begins at 7,30 p m
The program will not be directed toward the
alcoholic, but to the family of the problem drinker,
says Kathlene Benafel. president ot Beta Lambda
' Right now we re talking about intervention
and what alcoholism is."' says Benafel. "We want
to show how people can develop skills in dealing
with somebody they know is an alcoholic."
The program will consist of presentations by
four private alcoholism treatment centers In
addition, representatives from Alateen and Al
Anon will speak on ways the family can cope with
the alcoholic.
The program will conclude with a panel
discussion of various issues, and will be open for
questions, she said
Benafel says the program is not aimed
exclusively at University students, but is open to
the public as a community-education service
IFC approves
program goals
The Incidental Fee Committee
approved all program goals presented
Tuesday, although some committee
members questioned a Black Student Union
goal
The IFC approved by a 4-3 vote a BSU
goal for funding a weekend orientation
retreat for black students An IFC resolution
forbids funding for lodging by student
programs
"We don't fund this type of activity for
any other group, said committee member
Mary Shrauger Do we want to set a
precedent so other groups budget retreats
like this?"
The ESCAPE program sponsors a
similar activity, but students are required to
pay lodging costs, IFC chairer Bart Hill said
Hill recommended passage of the goal
because the other parts of the goal for a
black student orientation weekend — films
and guest speakers — could be funded by
the IFC
The vote was 4-3 in favor of the goal with
vice chairer Betzy Fry, Jeff Nudelman and
Shrauger dissenting. The other goals of the
BSU passed unanimously.
The committee also unanimously
approved the goals of KWAX-FM,
unchanged from last year The $1,700 IFC
allocation is a small amount compared to
the radio station’s annual budget of
$182,000, said Denny Guehler, KWAX-FM
program development director
