The Incidental Fee Committee eliminated
funding for a student arts support group, one of
many cuts made by the committee during budget
hearings Tuesday and Wednesday.
The committee unanimously approved zero
funding for Tabard Inn/Pot & Quill, a student arts
support group, because program director Carl
Lesher decided to disband the organization, said
committee member Bart Hill.
"They were having trouble getting members
to show up for meetings and poetry readings,” Hill
said.
The committee also approved budget cuts
Tuesday for the Industrial Relations Student
Association and Philosophy Club, but Sheila
Schain, ASUO budget director, said the IFC needs
to cut deeper to keep within budget targets.
We re three days into budget hearings and
we re already $800 in the hole," she said Tues
day. Combined with other committee budget
approvals exceeding the ASUO Executive
recommendations, Schain said she "has a lot of
work to do" to rework ASUO budget recommen
dations.
Schain indicated this in a memorandum to
IFC members before Wednesday's hearings By
the end of the hearings, the committee had
reduced the amount to $428 more than the pre
sident’s recommendation.
The IFC partially reduced the running deficit
by cutting the budget of Mortar Board, a seniors'
honor society. The committee allotted $170 de
spite an ASUO Executive recommendation of
$370, 195 percent more than this year’s alloca
tion
The IFC slashed a proposed Mortar Board
book donation program. Each of the board’s
Professor of the Month winners would select a
book to be donated to the library, at a cost of
$200.
IFC chairer Betzy Fry said she opposed the
proposal because fraternity members raised a
similar amount and donated it the library. New
committee member Marc Spence added he thinks
incidental fees should not be spent for library
books.
Spence was appointed Sunday by ASUO
Pres. C.J Balfe to replace Rick Braun, who had
resigned earlier that day. Spence’s appointment
was unanimously approved Tuesday by the
f
ASUO names four
to elections board
The ASUO Executive has selected four students to serve
on its elections board.
Selected to serve on the board were: Richard Perry, a
finance senior; Lynn Ballheim; an advertising graduate
student; Larry Kubes, a management and administration
student; and Peter Kubota, a junior finance major.
The board helps supervise the ASUO elections, says Paul
Rudinsky, ASUO executive vice president.
Kubota will be an especially valuable board member
because he was elections chief at the University of Hawaii at
Manoa, says Rudinsky, who is in charge of ASUO elections.
Stiff competition forced the ASUO to turn many qualified
people away, he says.
Student University Affairs Board.
The committee also cut Associated Students
of Landscape Architecture below the president's
recommendation. The landscape architecture
department s student organization was allotted
$212, a 54 percent decrease from this year's $394
budget.
Some committee members said the budget
was cut in areas where the incidental fee money
would benefit only department students.
Hill noted a similar area in the budget of
Alpha Kappa Psi, a business fraternity. He said
some program postage costs are for mailing
letters benefiting program members, not most
students.
The committee cut $20 in postage and ap
proved $213 for the program. The program
received $243 this year.
The committee Wednesday also approved
budgets for Crisis Center; AVENU, the allied arts
and architecture newspaper; and Recreational
Folk Dance. The IFC approved $8315, $1586 and
$1594 for the programs, respectively.
The committee Tuesday also approved a
$117 budget for IRSA despite an ASUO Executive
recommendation for $77. IRSA hasn't spent any
money from this year’s $127 budget, but director
John LeHuray said organizational problems, in
cluding last summer’s death of the group s pre
sident, were responsible.
Schain said she understands IRSA's prob
lems, but other programs with organizational
problems face cuts.
"It’s four months into the year If they're still
disorganized, we’ve got to question whether
these programs benefit the students,” Schain
said.
Some program directors at Monday's hear
ings said they just started activities for the year
during winter term.
The committee approved $133 for the Philo
sophy Club. The club received $135 this year.
The Rape Crisis Network’s $1500 budget was
approved with no cuts.
The University Theater’s $17,844 budget
request was tabled until the full committee can
meet for discussion of a proposed cut, according
to IFC chairer Betzy Fry. Hill said he was enthu
siastic about the Theater’s productions, but he
recommended a three percent budget cut.
"We have to be fair to ail programs in asking
for cuts," he said.
