By Chester Allen and Tammy Batey
Ernetald Reporters
An Incidental Fee Committee member walked
out of Thursday's budget hearing after learning a
legally required public notice of the meeting was
not published in the Emerald
IFC member Ed Carson said the hearing was in
violation of Oregon's open meeting laws, which
require state officials to publish a notice of the
meeting's time and place.
"I don't think we should he meeting," Carson
said as he left the hearing
Neil Sunneli. who was the ASUO representative
at the hearing, said he also believed the meeting
was a violation of state law
However, IFC Chairman Steve Masat said he had
placed a notice of the hearing with the Emerald
and moved that the hearing continue.
Emerald News Editor Jake Berg said he could
find no record of having received such a notice
IFC member Lvdia Lerma said the meeting
should proceed.
"We can hold another meeting and «:all hack nil
of tonight's groups if we have to." Lerma said
After deciding to meet, the IFC increased the
1‘to.1-94 budgets of four ASUO-sponsored student
groups.
The IFC allocated a 66 percent increase to Sexu
al Assault Support Services.
Part of the money w ill be used to conduct rape
awareness training in the greek system, said SASS
Executive Director Phvllis Harkharst.
The Vietnamese Student Association received a
19.2 percent increase from this year's budget.
However. Tri Bui. academic adviser for VSA.
said the group needed more money to expand and
improve its cultural events.
"If we could use the EMU Ballroom for our New
Year's festival rather than the Condon School, we
could make it easier for more students to attend
and experience cultural diversity," Bui said.
IFC members said VSA could submit a special
request for money from the surplus account.
The IFC allocated a 1.1 increase to the Recre
ation and Intramural program.
KIM asked for an additional $1,000 to improve
its weight room, but the IFC rejected the request.
Kathryn Russell. KIM weight room manager,
said RIM would submit a special request to the IFC
for the additional money.
The Pocket Playhouse received a 20 percent
increase from this year's budget.
John Harrison, Pocket Playhouse publicity direc
tor. said the theater group would use the money to
stage at least nine plays a term next year
At its Monday meeting, the IFC approved
increases for four of five budgets reviewed.

Th«» Journal of Environmental Law and Liliga
lion, the Oregon Commentator. Students for Unit
ed Notions nnd the ASUO Mediation Program all
received increases, while the ASUO Childcare
Subsidy Program budget remained at S214.320.
JELL Editor Hob Shavelson said the journal's
staff wanted a substantial increase this year to
improve the quality of the journal nnd to enable
the staff to publish it biannually. instead of annu
ally as it is published now
"With the decreases in past years by the IFC,
we've been si raping by just to survive.” Shavelson
said.
But IFC member Efrem Meh relab said the I EC's
allocation, a i!47 percent increase from last year's
allocation, would enable the journal to publish
biannually. though its members would have to
continue to si rape by.
"We re taking a step forward." he said. You
i an't take all the steps in one day."
Commentator staff member* requested a 98.97
percent increase to pay for such things as a new
computer and to mail an orientation issue to fresh
men shortly before fall term begins.
Karma said she was concerned about the journal
because it does not offer stipends to employees
Without stipends. some students could be deterred
from writing for the monthly journal, she said
hernia suggested a friendly amendment for the
IFC to allocate $1.f>20 in stipends The stipends
would pay the salaries of four reporters, the edi
tor and the publisher
But Commentator staff were reluctant to accept
the stipends Owen Brennan Rounds. Commento
tor editor, said he would rather have the increas
es added to other parts of the journal's budget.
Mehretab said the IFC should not force the
stipends on Commentator staff members if they
don't want them.
