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.

This extra aid is available
Because .University officials
don't need to draw as much
money from the awards to sup

program.
"We still don't have stiffi
cent funds to assist everyone
Ihiit s eligible." Vignoul says
"We just feel fortunate that
Congress has minimized the
losses for '8(>-H7."
Projecting financial aid
awards for the 1087 88 school
year and lieyond is difficult at
this point, he says.
Although Cramm-Kudman
calls for .1 $0 percent across-lhe
Imard cut for 1087 88. Congress
may prevent the cut from taking
place hv meeting the deficit

lawsuit against the act just
hours after it was signed into

government.
“There really is a much
more rational approach to
balancing the federal deficit

future of (his country really
does lie in education and I hope
Congress will continue to
recognize that."
