IFC allocates additional funds for child care service By Sian Nelson Of Ihr I nii’iali! Tin1 incidental Foe Committee released $8,000 in appropriated funds for child cart; subsidies at u hearing Thursday, Because thecommilte lacked a quorum, il suspend ed its voting rules in order to consider the measure. The three members present voted unanimously to approve the additional funding. The amount was initially appropriated at a (anuary I t IFF child care hearing hut was withheld pending a second vote spring term. The increase in students using the University child care facilities caused rapid depletion of the child care budget, said Jim Randall. IFC chairman. Without the additional increase, the child care center would have been forced to implement across-the-board cuts in stu dent subsidies or eliminate students with the lowest need level, he said. The child care services are more than adequate. Kandall said. However, he questioned why the services provided by the University cost more than child care services provied by the private sector. The Child Care Task Force, an AStK) and KMU Hoard joint project, was set up specifically to look into University child care costs. The task force will not begin to meet formally until after the IFC budget hear ings. Kandall said. "We need to look at the whole picture before allocating more funding. We need concrete answers to these problems." he said. The task force will convene in May. Randall said. Students receive a 30 percent average subsidy for child care. In general, cost for child care averages from $185-220 a month, he said. In other business, the student drama group Theater 4:30 received $701 in funding for the 19HH-87 school year. The allocation will pay for administrative, pro duction and royalty costs for the group’s productions. Theater 4:30 helps provide students acting and directing experience, supporters said. In an appeal hearing, the Repertory Dancers group was denied additional funding. It had requested $2,500 for guest professional artists and $535 for costumes. The dancers will receive $2,200 for artists and $255 for lost limes for the 1080*87 school year.
