Committee endorses student fund
By Chris Norred
(If thr Kmerald
SALEM — The proposal to
establish a Student Activities
Fund was unanimously endors
ed by the House Education
Committee on Tuesday.
The Oregon Student l,obby
sponsored proposal now goes
before the full House of
Representatives for final
approval.
The Senate endorsed the Stu
dent Activities Fund last
month.
The proposal. Senate Bill
400, will allow students to
receive the interest earned on
the incidental fees and health
service fees they pay each term.
Currently that interest is
deposited in the state's General
Fund account.
Each term. University
students pay $61 in incidental
fees that are used to fund the
EMll, athletics, and student
University students pay $34
per term in health service fees.
The Student Activities Fund
would replace the Higher
Education Athletic Fund,
which was established in 1975
to allow interest from inter
collegiate athletic revenue to be
returned to athletic programs.
The Student Activities Fund
would receive an estimated
$340.IKK) in interest in the next
two years if the bill passes. That
money will be divided into the
various student activities' ac
counts. said ASUO President
Steve Nelson. "We would not
be able to take interest from
athletics and spend it on other
student programs.” Nelson
said.
Nelson is chairman of the
OSL's board of directors.
The proposal does not require
a reduction in student fees to
result from the added $340,000
income, but Nelson said the ad
ded revenue to student «<
tivities will reduce the need fur
annual increases in student
fees.
The state General Fund
revenue will be reduced by
$340,000 if the bill is passed
But Eugene Democrat Garl
Husticka. chairman of the
House revenue committee, said
the bill does not need a review
by the revenue committee.
‘‘The amount is not
something so great that it will
upset the workings of tin?
Legislature." Hosticka said
“This is a good bill.. I don't
think it will be controversial."
Hosticka will present the pro
posal on the floor of the full
House.
"With Carl (Hosticka) carry
ing it to the floor as the chair
man of the revenue committee,
he's knowledgeable about its ef
fects." said Sherry Oeser. dlreo
tor of the QSL. "That should
carry some weight.”
