battle OSPIRG is inherently
political, and it is a violation of
his constitutional and state
rights to have a portion of his
incidental fees go to fund a
group he is politically opposed
to.
During the last school year.
Randall took his question to the
ASIK) Executive and the ASUO
Constitution Court. The Steve
Nelson Administration recom
mended OSPIRG’s funding, and
the Constition Court in April
refused to hear the case on the
grounds the court did not have
jurisdiction over state and
federal law.
Earlier this month. Randall
contacted University President
Paul Olum about his request.
However. Olum had already ap
proved the entire incidental fee
budget and did not change his
mind. Randall said.
Part of Randall's goal is to
"insure OSPIRG no longer par
ticipates in defeating or pro
moting ballot measures," he
said.
Rundall is now taking his case
to the Stat«) Board of Higher
Education. He submitted his
case Tuesday and said it is the
culmination of his yearlong
request.
The main problem is those
who enforce the rules concern
ing OSPIRG's activities, namely
the ASIJO Executive, have been
lax in doing so. he said.
OSPIRG State Board Chair
woman Maureen Kirk was not
aware of Randall's request
before the higher education
board until Wednesday, she
said.
“If it is the same issue he’s
been raising all year, well we
won at the Constitution Court
level in the sense it didn't hear
the case,” she said. “I’m not
concerned his arguments have
any more validity now than
they did then,” she added.
It was not known as of press
time if Randall's question will
be discussd at the meeting.
Board secretary Wilma Foster
said she has received Randall's
information and will forward it
to the board members who will
decide whether to consider his
request.

HMX course.
Scott also referred to a
December 1985 report done by
the Metropolitan Golf Study
Committee, in which the disad
vantages of building the course
were listed. The report stated
that city water expenses were
tot) high and the site had a
limited area.
Scott said the current pian is
for an 18-hole course, with
possible expansion to 3b holes
in the future. Drainage pro
blems. poor playing terrain,
development costs and con
tinued neighborhood opposi
tion were also cited on the list
Miller said that Robert Trent
Jones, one of the most renown
ed golf course designers in the
world, has approved the site
and would make himself
available when construction
begins.
Ultimately, Snook said, the
track will have enough support
from the community, including
a petition “signed by thousands
of people.”
“We've been talking to
church groups, business leaders
— whoever we need to,” he
said.
Snook said he showed slides
of the BMX track HO business
owners and a Lion's luncheon,
and as a result, area business
owners have volunteered to
lock up their businesses and
help the club out. he said.
"We’re going to be positive
and loud. . .and we're not go
ing to give in.” Snook said.
“Who would get more use out
of the area. lO.O(M) golfers or
100-200 motorcross kids?"
Miller asked.
