The Incidental Fee Committee granted the EMU
Board a one-time sum of $50.000. following the
board's request for a budget re-hearing this week.
The money was designated as venture capital for
income generation.
The IFC previously allocated $1.97 million for
the operation of the EMU. but Monday's action
brought the total to $2.02 million. The motion stip
ulated that the amount could not be used in future
budgets as a baseline figure.
Sara Dodge, who presented the appeal, said
accepting less than the original requost would
"jeopardize the mission of the EMU Board in pro
viding for the physical and cultural development
of the campus."
Dodge and other EMU representatives argued
that without the venture capital. the EMU would
never get "ahead of the game" in terms of income
generation and that budgets would always be
maintenance-based. Also, certain costs are deter
mined by Oregon state regulations, such ns salary
scales and hiring practices
Joe Grube, EMU Board chair, said this places the
hoord in a frustrating position. "We don't deter
mine the costs, yet we are expected to pay. We
have responsibility but no power."
The vote on the allocation passed 3-2. with Ed
Carson and Chairman Steve Masat voting against.
The EMU Board is considering using the mon
ey to renovate food service, including updating
kitchen facilities that have been in place since the
1950s.
"Our food service is on the brink." Grube said.
"We want to get the food service to the point
where it can make money again .”
In other action, the IFC tabled a budget request
by Beta Alpha Psi. an accounting fraternity,
because the group isn't recognized by the ASUO.
The IFt: granted S2.1H9 to the YWCA, a decrease
of 24 percent from last year
The Incidental Fee Committee Wednesday gave
itself increased stipends for next year, fueling a 7.6
percent increase over this year's budget.
