Students to pay more fees
By Richard Burr
Of ttM Emerald
The incidental fee will increase next year,
despite the campaign promises of some of last
spring’s elected Incidental Fee Committee
members.
The Incidental Fee Committee has approv
ed an allotment of $2,368,818, a $129,384 in
crease for next year. The IFC still has to budget
for an unallocated reserves fund which is con
stitutionally mandated.
Students will feel an actual increase of $14
per term, even though the fee will only rise from
$52 to $56 per term. The State Board of Higher
which increases maintenance costs, they say.
The IFC almost approved a tree-tickets
plan that would have cost $703,098. The com
mittee voted 4-3 against the plan for $18 per
term, $2 more than the approved plan.
Student voters approved a $39,061 budget
for OSPIRG during the ASUO general elections.
The allocation is a $29,194 increase from this
year’s $9,867 budget.
ASUO Pres. C.J. Balfe placed the group’s
request on the ballot because the ASUO Con
stitution requires student approval of student
program allotments exceeding a 7 percent in
crease limitation.
Education refunded $10 per
term this year, meaning
students paid $42 for $52 per
term worth of services and
oroarams.
Analysis
The IFC compensated
slightly for the increases by
cutting student programs, ex
cluding OSPIRG, $25,673. Stu
dent programs, excluding
Another year of declining enrollment
meant less available revenue to be allocated
unless the fee were increased. The committee
budgeted for an estimated enrollment of
14,700.
The EMU, athletic department and the
Oregon Student Public Interest Research
Group accounted for most of the increase, with
student program allocations offsetting part of
these programs’ increases.
The IFC approved an EMU budget of
$1,211,729, $104,729 more than this year’s
$1,107,000 budget. The enlarged budget is a 9.6
percent increase.
Maintenance costs such as mandated
state salary increases and the low supply of
woodchips, which fuel the University physical
plant, caused most of the EMU’s $2.65 per term
increase.
The IFC also approved an increase for the
athletic department. The committee approved
$624,976, a $22,134 increase from this year’s
$602,842 budget.
The allocation translates into a $1 per term
increase for the athletic department, which
received a $15 subsidy with an additional $1
guarantee in case of poor student attendance.
The department this year received $14 per term
with a similar $1 guarantee.
Athletic department officials say more ex
pensive home games and the ending of the
University salary freeze accounted for their in
crease. Better teams receive a larger percen
tage of gate receipts and attract larger crowds,
OSPIRG, were allocated $493,052 compared to
last year’s $518,725 allotment.
What this means is, students will pay 60
cents less for students programs next year.
A funding criteria that most IFC members
stressed was allocating money for programs
and activities that benefit most students.
Academic groups were most affected by the
policy because some of their activities focused
on the major their group represented.
The IFC cut many of the 26 academic pro
grams, which have the most groups of the
about 75 funded organizations. But the cuts of
$5,634 make up just 22 percent of the total stu
dent program decrease.
Governmental agencies and service pro
grams also were reduced. The IFC cut groups
such as Student University Affairs Board and
the Office of Student Advocacy $6,064, which is
23.6 percent of the total student program
decrease.
The IFC also eliminated funding for Tabard
Inn/Pot & Quill, Psychology Clinic, the Council
for Exceptional Children and Physically Limited
Union of Students. Their combined budgets for
this year equal $1,310. The Cuba Study Group,
Public Affairs Graduate Student Organization
and Recreation and Park Management
Graduate Student Organization did not request
funding.
But the IFC funded $2,030 for four new
groups: American Advertising Federation,
Asian Studies Society, East Campus Tenants
and the University Song and Dance Troupe.
