IFC chair glad year is over
By Kirsten Lucas
Emerald Report or
Incidental Kno Committee members will be
breathing a collective sigh of relief this week as
they officially wrap up this year's budget season
And the loudest sigh among them will probably
come from IK: Chairwoman Lydia Lermu
Lerma is relieved because the committee mnn
aged to turn around u generous budgeting trend
and allocata less money than it did last year. But
she's relieved most of 11II because it's over.
It has Iwen a long year for this year's IKC.
which has laced anti-foe sentiment, internal con
flu is. complaints of unprofessionalism. uncertain
enrollment estimates and several disruptive mem
bership changes
The Il'C musical chairs began with the contro
versial removal of former IKC Chairman Mike
Colson who was accused of — and still denies —
tampering with the minutes of a January 1091
meeting.
Sinte Colson's removal from his two-year seat,
the IKC has seen three elected members resign
and three new members appointed by ASIJO
President Jennifer Bills w ith whom tile IKC has
not enjoyed the most ideal relationship.
In addition to high member overturn. ASIJO
ballot measures aimed at lowering ami abolishing
student foes, as well as complaints of unprofns
sionalism and internal conflicts, have shaken up
theIKC
IKC Chairwoman Lydia Lerma will be the sole
lit; veteran on next year's committee — und she
has no desire lo chair the committee again
"it was hell." Lerma said "This year nobody
wanted to do it it's a lot oi work It's a lot of
stress, and it's time consuming I'd rather see
somebody else do it ”
However, in spite of this year's difficulties,
Lermu said slur is generally pleased with the out
come of the budget season — a 1.8 percent overall
decrease from last year's total IKC allocations.
in other words, if next year's enrollment stays
the same or (alls by less than 2 percent, Incidental
fees will remain about tin- same
The committee turned things around midway
through tiie budget hearings when Budget Ana
lyst Steve Mu sal discovered the Il'C had allocated
approximately 2 percent more than last year
Hus relatively small increase was compounded
by committee members' suspicion of "optimistic"
enrollment estimates provided by the University
Budget Office.
Those figures, which project next year's enroll
ment to be somewhere between 16,300 and
17,000. haven’t changed, said University Budget
Director Trent Sprndllng.
The IFC uses the most conservative enrollment
estimate to try predicting vvhnt student fees will
be for tin; upcoming year. In Other words, if en
rollment drops and tho IFC allocates the same
amount of money to groups as it did last year,
fees will go up.
Lerma pushed for decreases in IFC budgets all
year, voting for only one small Increase for Pro
ject Saferide However, committee members did
not consistently go along with her cut-at-all-costs
agenda.
"It was a frustrating process because f was real
ly serious," Lerma said "We had agreed that we
wanted to lower incidental fees or keep them at
the same level and then there were some signifi
cant increases that were kind of frustrating,” she
said "We scrutinized the smaller budgets a lot
more than tho larger ones and I don't think that
was necessarily tho right thing to do.
“I would say wo accomplished our goal us a
committee, but some of us felt that there could
have boon greater cuts in bigger budgets."
Looking back, Lerma said she probably would
have taken more of u leadership role on the com
mittee.
”1 probably would define our roles a little more
distinctively, maybe assert my role a little more,"
she said "That's not really my style, but I think
for the overall committee it might have helped a
little more if 1 would have been more assertive."
"I think that at the beginning of tho budget
hearings 1 should have boon stronger with my
stance that I look that no organization could justi
fy an increase with what wo were having to deal
with," Lerma said
"I don’t know all of the new members, but I
feel positive about next year. Hopofully we can
meet this summer and establish our goals. I think
tiiat will determine how the rest of the year goes "
Lerma is confident that u strong leader will
emerge from the new IFC membership.
And although she won't lake the leading role
next year, Lerma said she will provide a support
ing role for the new chairperson.
FHA may try new crosswalk color

Those bright yellow-green
crosswalk signs installed lust

there were no particular prob

If the chartreuse signs prove

"Our basic policy is to try to

begone, along with Portlund
and other citius in the state, is
cooperating with the Pedoral
Highway Administration study.
Besides suggesting ideations
(or the experiment, the city also
paid to install all the new signs.
The federal government made
the signs and is paying for the
study.
However, if the new color is
adopted as a national standard,
the cost of replacing all the
crosswalk signs in b'ugene
would range from $(K) to Slot)
per sign.
Williams said ho guessed that
the current signs haven't been
changed in 50 years. If the fed
eral government decides to
switch to the now signs, Oregon
could ask for an exemption
from the new standards.
If Oregon accepts the new
standard, it would bo granted a
grace period of a few years to
replace the signs.

have boon covered."
Kust agreed that the con
cert will cause problems in
the small community of
Voneta, bul said the caliber
of the band is ulso a consid
eration.
"The Grateful Dead is one
of the greatest bands In the
world," Kust said. "We
should bo honored and put
out the welcome mat for
them and the fans."
Kosey said the concerts
will be part of a large festival
called the "Third Decadenal
Field Trip " Twice before, in
1972 and 1982, similar festi
vals were held at the Venota
site
The event will feature lo
cal artists, pools and food
booths. Kesey's undo, au
thor Ken Kesey, is also
scheduled to road one of his
stories.
"It will be an all-day pic
nic affair." Kesey said.
The concerts will be the
first Eugene-area Grateful
Dead performance since the
band was prohibited from
playing at Aut/en Stadium
two years ago. That perfor
mance was banned over con
cerns about drug use and se
curity problems
Although the Grateful
Dead decided not to return
to Autzen this year, Kesey
said they will probably play
there in the future.
