Speaking before a sparse
crowd-of fewer than 20 people
Monday, pine of thjs 10 can
didates'vying .for the three one^
.year incidental Fee Cbmmitt.ee
positions discussed issues rang
ing from criteria for student
•group funding to the Athletic
Itepartment-sponsored funding
initiative.
The primary emphasis of the
candidate forum was on the
; . establishment, of fair criteria for
funding student groups. The
most Commonly-voiced concern
r
was that more funds should go
to organizations that serve largo
numbers of students as opposed
to groups that benefit only a
few.
Several candidates believe
student groups should be re
quired to raise*-.‘‘matching '!
funds". in brder' to,receive an
IFC allocation.;. This Would
mean organizations.would have
to independently raise funds.to
match the amount allocated;by
the IFC before they could;
receive the funds,
Candidates also" expressed,
concern about the provision of
child care facilities for those
students who are parents.
... James Hibdonv ah IFC can
didate and the father of three
children, said he had "a real in
terest in providing adequate
:chi|d ; tapir#;'*; ■"
. Katy Howard'agreed. noting
that child .cafe is an important
issjuu because the average age of
the student body is increasing.
She bejieves the IFC needs to be

groups spending incidental fees
is one thing that prompted
David McDonald, a pre
buSiness major, to run for the
IPCl “Students should know
where their funds are going,”
McDonald , said- ■ ^ ,
“Nobody should be left out at
all.” agreed Jodie Mooney, a
first-year law student. IFC
members need to be on guard
against ‘group, think’ — we
don't want clones vyho alj think
the same way.’.’ Mooney, said.
John Smithson, a finance ma
jor; said, "Students are- not as
informed of IFC decisions, as
they should be.”
Her experierice, with’ a “rich
culture aside from the dominant
culture” prompted Petra Con
stante to run for the IFC” Con
stanta, a fine arts major;
believes her diverse cultural ex
perience taught her to be sen
sitive to the needs of all people.
Munion believes the_ “ar
rogance of the established
system today is a terrible
thing.” He listed a number of
criteria he believes groups
should meet in order to fajceive
funding, especially in view of
the "many unjustified increases
to groups this year,”
David Karp, a sophomore ma
joring in speech pathology and
special education, does not
share support for matching
funds. Karp said his candidacy
“stems from my desire to be fair
and represent the students.”
Duane Dungannon, a jour
nalism sophomore and assistant
editor for the Commentator,
said he would like to see the IF1C
work more closely, with the
EMU Board to reduce its
operating expenses, thereby
saving incidental fees for other
uses. Dungannon also favors the
■'.matching funds” criterion.
Benjamin'Grote, who also is
running for a one-year IFC posi
tion, did not attend the debate.

the dosing time approached.
News of IJ.S bombing attacks
against Libya strengthened the
resolve of those who were
deckling not to give their
names, and thus be taken to jail
