Using 'program's point of view' Morales hopes to humanize IFC Armando Morales By Sarah Kitchen Of Ihr hmerald Incidental Fee Committee candidate Armando Morales believes that people who come before the IKC should lx; treated as humans and be given a full chance to express their opinions. "The I PC' should look at the students as human beings who have needs, and we need to see what those needs are, not only to benefit just the students but April Coupon — Special — *6 Off Designer Nails mm m PMiUffl CHINESE RESTAURANT Oriental Buffet Lunch Downstairs 6 Try Our Dinner (Jpstairs Hours: Downstairs M Th II 00 7 00, F Sa 11 00 4 3C Closed Sundays Hours: Upstairs Su Th 4 30 10 00 „ F Sa 5 00 10 30 1275 Alder Street • 683-8886 also the entire student com munity.” Morales said Morales, a junior studying for a double major in anthropology and Spanish literature, is runn ing for a two-year position on the IFC.

Through MKChA. Morales was introduced to the IFC’ pro cess and became dissatisfied with the way his group was treated a few years ago by com mittee members. “It was as if the IFC would know what we needed, and we didn’t have a say in what kind of a program to organize,” he said. By working on the IFC.' Morales said he seeks to help other organizations get what is the most important for them, and not what the IFC thinks is more important. He does this by being openminded to every re quest that is presented, he said. “I look at the request from the program's point of view, and I look at them as an organization that will culturally benefit the student community.” Creativity and Culture: A Folklore Symposium Free and OfX'n to the Public April 8-11, 1987 University of Oregon Eugene, Oregon i Wednesday.

In cidental Fee Committee because he believes the best representatives are activists rather than bureaucrats. And in the realm of ac tivism. Pyle has been ac tive. He currently serves as the director of the War Resistance Center in Eugene and is involved Doug Pyle with the Right to Privacy Political Action Committee and the Red Cross. While at Portland State University, Pyle worked with the Coalition for Kqual Rights, Students for Lesbian and Gay Rights and founded the Arts Union there. The role of the IFC should be as a support group to help student organizations succeed. Pyle said, adding those organizations cannot be expected to run like professional businesses because students are, after all. just students. Pyle would like to see the IFC become less of a police force lecturing groups for every seemingly unnecessary budget line-item. The IFC should not rule with an iron hand, he said. He also would like to relieve some of the political tension that has existed in past years. This is possible this year because voters am being faced with two slates of candidates (one endorsed by Students for a Progressive Agenda, the other by Concerned Students for Responsive Leadership) with definite distinctions between them. Pyle said. In the past, the differences between opposing parties has been murky, he said. One goal Pyle stresses is that, if elected, he would like to defend students’ rights to form groups and receive funding if eligible. “There will be groups I disagree with, but all have the right to get funding if they meet the criteria,” he said. If Pyle is elected, he doesn’t see making too many changes in the structure of the IFC, he said. "The structure is such that it will work as well as the members will allow' it to work,” Pyle said. Pyle is going to try new tactics with the role of the IFC if he is elected: lobbying at the state and national levels for a change in the current financial aid laws, specifically the one that deals with independent student status. Even though this is not perceived as a role of an IFC' member, Pyle believes changes in this law are needed and will lobby, if not as an IFC member, then as a student. Are your math skills rusty?
