Committee denies groups
major increases in funds
By Daralyn Trappe
fcmetdld Reporter
The Incidental Fee Commit
tee stuck to this year’s practice
of keeping student group budg
et levels constant at its budget
h earing s W e d n e s d a y a n d
Thursday nights.
The Native American Stu
dent Union requested $13,335
for 1991-92, a 9 percent in
crease over its current budget.
A funding increase would have
helped provide for a two-day
spring powwow instead of the
current one-day event.
IFC
The money would have been
used to cover the costs of rent
ing McArthur Court and hiring
security and Physical Plant em
ployees. said Michelle Singer,
NASI I co-director
The IFC did not approve of a
increase, however, and voted
5-0-2 to fund the group at
$12,148, $95 less than this
year’s budget, reflecting the
NASI!'s lower postage use.
Students for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals request
ed $2,711 for its 1991-92 budg
et. a substantial increase over
this year's budget of $239
The committee instead ap
proved a slight increase for
SETA, voting unanimously in
favor of a $592 budget. The in
crease was given for long-dis
tance telephone use. advertis
ing and printing costs
Associated Students for His
torical Preservation requested a
1991-92 budget of $Ht>5. to pro
vide a salary for its newsletter
editors and to provide for more
postage and printing funds Its
1990 'ii budget is $ik<i
Sam Neh m, who makes
budget rei ommendations to the
IFC as ASl’O finant e coordina
tor. voiced her opposition to
the increase
“Your program is just too
new to give an increase; some
of the older programs are get
ting decreases,” she told ASHP
group members. The group re
ceived funding for the first time
this year
Nehm said the ASUO and the
IFC want to be assured of a
group’s stability and contribu
tions to the University. The
committee stops debating
whether to fund a group after it
has been granted a budget for
six years
IFC members approved a
slight increase to cover the
group's printing and duplica
tion costs, resulting in a budget
of $240. The vote was 6-0-1,
with Morales abstaining.
Women's Resource and Re
ferral Center requested $r>,24 1.
up from its current funding lev
el of $4,946.
IFC member kari Anderson
asked WRRC members how
their group's services differed
from those of such organiza
tions as Whitebird and the Uni
versity's Women in Transition
Youn Kim. WRRC co-direc
tor. said that because Whitebird
is partially staffed by men.
some women may be appre
hensive to go there for advice
or a counseling referral.
"We want to make an atmos
phere where women can come
in and feel comfortable." Kim
said, adding that Women in
Transition serves older women
at the University.
Nevertheless, the group did
not receive an increase, as a
budget of $4,822 was unani
mously approved
The results of Wednesday
night's hearing were similar
"Our general goal is that
we're not going to l>e giving in
creases," said IFC member Bar
clay Grayson "Kssentially
we re going to try to keep
budgets constant, keep them
where they're at."
The committee allocated
$3,665 to the Student Cam
paign for Disarmament for its
1991-92 budget, keeping SCD's
budget the same as this year
The committee also heard the
Solar Knergv Center's budget
request SEC members request
ed $1,862. an increase from
this year's budget of $1,255, to
pay for a work-study office po
sition.
Bills suggested that SEC con
tact the ESCAPE office or look
into an internship position in
which a student employee is
not paid, but can receive a
grade credit.
IFC members voted 6-1 in fa
vor of a slight increase, to
$1,306. for 1991-92. Morales
was the only member opposed.
