IFC funding
of 11 groups
is frozen
By Julie Shippen
Of th» Emerald
The 1984-85 budgets of 11
student organizations were tem
porarily halted Wednesday
when members of the Incidental
Fee Committee recommended
to the ASUO Executive that a
freeze be placed on certain
deficit accounts.
The action followed the
unanimous vote by the commit
tee to activate IFC Resolution 3,
originally enacted last fall, in
the current committee
guidelines.
As a result, a total of more
than $7,500 of Iasi year’s deficit
spending must be repaid by the
various groups before they can
resume normal financial
activity.
Among the organizations was
the YWCA, which accumulated
more than $3,600 in deficits last
year. Other groups to overspend
by more than $500 included the
Black Student Union. Foren
sics. Panhellenic Council.
Recreation and Intramurals, and
Switchboard.
According to Resolution 3,
which states that ’’All IFC fund
ed programs shall be responsi
ble for the repayment of their
previous year debts to the
AS1JO Surplus Account,” each
organization is now held liable
for its deficit balance.
Although other student
groups exceeded their yearly
allocation from ASUO. these
groups were exempt from the
freeze as monies in their fund
raising account are available to
cover the amount overspent
from their general account, ac
cording to John Dreeszen,
finance coordinator for the
ASUO Executive.
Dreeszen indicated that suck
deficits in the past were brought
before the IPC and ASUO too
late in the fiscal year to request
repayment from the delinquent
organizations. In turn, it was
too difficult for the IFG to en
force Resolution 3, and the year
end deficits were subsidized
from the ASUO Surplus
Account.
ASUO Pres. Julie Davis, last
year's IFC chair, said that while
many of the deficits may have
resulted from simple “clerical
errors.’’ groups should watch
their money more closely.
“Groups that overspent dur
ing last year’s funding cycle
were warned that if the same
thing occurred this year, this
would be the likely result,”
Davis said. “I think it’s a reflec
tion that the group’s internal
budgeting processes are not as
thorough as they can be.”
Correction
The Page 1 story about the Jim
Fortier memorial service iri
Tuesday’s Emerald contained a
fact error.
The statement that Tod Jones
read the eulogoy written by Rita
Fortier for her son Jim, at the
Sept. 29 memorial service in
San Marino. Calif, was incor
rect. Though Jones attended the
memorial service in San
Marino, he did not read the
eulogy; however, Jones will
read the eulogy by Rita Fortiei
at this Sunday’s memorial ser
vice on top of Spencer’s Butte.
The Emerald apologizes for
any incovenience this error may
have caused.
KWAX begins new fund drive
By Mike Duncan
Of tlM Emerald
KWAX, the University’s radio
station, will begin its semi
annual fundraiser today. But
this year’s approach will be
much different than that of any
previous year.
The ‘‘Fantom Fundraiser,”
allows listeners to send in con
tributions before the on-air cam
paign begins. Money received
before October 3 goes toward
shortening the number of days
that KWAX programming is in
terupted for fundraising.
"For each $3,000 we get,”
said Cathy Gilbert, KWAX Sta
tion Manager. "We’ll cancel
one day of fundraising. And so
far. we’ve already cancelled five
days.”
KWAX’s annual budget is
about $210,000, half of which is
funded by federal and state
funds. The remaining 50 per
cent is raised by self-generated
means, which include grants,
underwritings and listener
support.
The notion for the fantom
fundraiser came from KWAX’s
development director Karen
Kammerer, who spotted a
similar practice at another radio
station.
"We talked it over,” said
Gilbert, "and realized it would
be a risk. But it’s worked out
very well and will probably
become a regular part of our
fundraising efforts.”
The station sent more than
2,700 pieces of mail to
subscribers to inform them of
the new idea. The average
resulting pledge has been about
$33.
The campaign's goal is
$30,000 and as of yet, KWAX
has received 497 pledges total
ing $16,161.
"Most new pledges in the
next five days of fundraising
will probably be new communi
ty members,” Gilbert said.
The amount of federal and
state money received by KWAX
is commensurate to the amount
that the station can create on its
own, making fundraising very
important to maintain and im
prove the station’s quality.
Fundraising is relatively new
to KWAX and its growth is in
dicative of what’s happening up
in the top floor of Villard Hall.
In 1978, $4,386 was raised as
compared to $75,960 generated
in the fiscal year of 1984.
“Those amounts say
something; this station has
matured,” Gilbert says.“Our
overall quality has improved
greatly. And I think our au
dience appreciates what we’ve
done.”
Those interested in making a
pledge should call 686-FM91.
