$35,000 cut from athletics budget

University students may have less seats and Im>
sitting further away from the action when attend
ing next year's football and basketball games
The Incidental Fee Committee voted Thursday
to cut $.15,000 from the athletic department's foot
ball and basketball student ticket subsidy.
Associate athletic director Sandy Walton told
the committee its vote would force the athletic
department to take away some of the bettor student
seating at football and basketball games.
Committee members suggested the athletic
department sell the little—used student seats in
section five of Autar.en Stadium, but Walton said
selling those seats would not substitute for the loss
of $35,000 in student money.
"We can't get students to sit in these seats for
free, so how are we going to sell them to the pub
lic''' Walton said.
Walton said seats in section nine, which are near
the center of the field, would be the easiest and
most profitable to sell to the public.
The athletic department and the ASUO will
begin negotiations to decide what seats the stu
dents will lose, said ASUO President Bobby l.ee
"We've been buying about fi.000 seats a game,
but only an average of 3.000 an- pic ked up by stu
dents." l,ee said. "At this point, it seems reason
able for student government to buy less football
and basketball seats."
In other business, the committee approved
1993—94 budgets for six student groups
Two groups, the Returning Students Association
and the Target of Opportunity Graduate Adv isory
Council received student funds for the first time.
The Oregon Marine Student Association made a
special request for $1,416 for swimming pool
rental costs. IFC members said they couldn't
approve special requests for next year.
IFC members Steve Masat and F,d Carson said
they believed the recreational costs should be
placed as a new line item on the group's budget if
it is going to lie on annual cost.
Sheree Watson and Amy Moran of OMSA said
they preferred the money was in the form of a spe
cial request because they didn’t want money taken
from other areas of the 1993-94 budget.
The IFC had two choii es, Masat said. It could
vote on the recreational costs as part of the group's
budget or do it so the fee is not lumped with the
budget "sin™ they feel uncomfortable with that."

what the band requested, it represents a 6.3
