$35,000 cut from athletics budget By Tammy Batey, Bath Hege and Chaster Allan Oregon Oarfy t-irwrttfd 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." group'imaa \mM. ^ Men Agamsl Rape Mrnotfy Law Students MarcNny Band Oregon Voce Women* Cento* tmertratemAy Counc* OMSA Once ot Student Advocacy Returning Students Assoc TOOAC Attaetic Department OLSPtf Native Amencan Student U National Lawyers GwM Amazon Comm Tenants $t.3&3 S1.325 4 2 1.438 1.536 .
