IFC meets tonight
By Daralyn Trappe
[ meraia Rt>pof?t‘i
The Incidental Fee Committee will meet tonight in an ef
fort to resolve the conflic t that has held up budget hearings
tor more than a week
The public molding will be at r> p.m in EMI* Century
Room A.
Hearings were suspended April -1 when ASUO President
Kirk Hailey announced he? had found IFC Chairman Mike
Colson responsible for altering the minutes of the )an 11 IFC
meeting Bailey based the finding on a five week ASUO in
vestigation.
Colson has stated that he was not responsible for am alter
ation. and In- filed a complaint with the Constitution Court
Thursday questioning the legality of the investigation
On April 4 Hailey recommended that IFC members vote to
remove Colson from office The members instead decided to
indefinitely postpone budget hearings until Colson resigns or
the matter is resolved another way At that time. Colson said
he would not resign
Because IFC memlier Armando Morales made the motion
to postpone hearings, it has been up to him to call for anoth
er meeting.
Colson said he hopes the meeting will he "pleasant and we
c .m get on with the budgets
