Because you were
there, Teresa and
her family are
safe and sound.
Teresa s husband abused her most of
the time they were married. Sometimes
he would choke her until she passed
out. Sometimes he would threaten her
with a gun.
Where do you go when you don’t
want to go home?
Teresa and her children got help at a
bettered women’s shelter. They got
help from United Way. All because
United Way got help from you. You
helped provide a haven for a woman
and her children when they had
nowhere to go. A place that helped
Teresa find what she thought she had
lost forever. Her safety.

IFC not keen to replace funds
By Edward Kloptenstein
Owgoo O&ty f mound
What do you rail organizations coming to the
Inc identol Fee Committal to replace lc>st funds’
IFC members call it a trend.
Members set the tone on alleged mismanage

II.SA requested $!.40<) to cover costs for a pres
tigious law c ontest they were entering after previ
ous offic ials didn't file a budget for this year, and
SHA wonted S2.tl7 I to repine e Moot Court Hoard
funds an identally used by an SHA member for
travel.
In addition, the IFf sent strong warnings to
future groups thinking of t oming to the committee
after mismanaging their budgets
"Obviously, this is a problem said committee
member Preston Cannon 'I’ve got this strange
finding that other groups w ill he coming from the
low sc bool asking for more money ."
The SHA started a string of money woes when a
member accidentally spent a travel budget desig
nated for the* Moot Court Hoard, who h is a sub
group of th** SHA. for budget reasons, said Mie haul
Burgess. SHA budget officer
The ILSA < ante to the Moot Court Hoard to help
pay travel expenses for a law competition it is
entering The ILSA didn't have the money because
last year's mendwrs never filed a budget with the
ASliO and thus never received money for this
year, ac c circling to the group
The SBA's system of ac counting was the real
c ulprit, Burgess said. Ireeauso line-item labels
didn't i lenrlv spec ify that the travel m • was
only for the Moot Court Hoard’s use*
Burgess said he wasn't denying that he made a
mistake, but Imn ause he wasn't told about the line*
item by last year's SHA offic ers, the committee
should replace the money.
The IFC partially said no.
The IFC approved $417 Wednesday for the* SHA
(the* amount cut from the* group's original budget)
and gave them a $1,000 loan that it must repay by
Mar. 31, 1994 If the group doesn't repay the*
money, the IFC an freeze its account Burgas said
if the group (ant repay on time, he and other offi
cers would repay the money from their stipends
The IFC. also appropriated $650 to the ILSA for
contest entrance fees, hut told the group to raise

We i an t be playing cat and mouse with the
dean of the law sc hoot," said committee- member
Shannon U.ill, who advised more direct dialogue
with the dean to discuss the issue of funding to
st udent groups
Maybe a trend needs to be addressed here, but
this is a one time thing, and it hurt more people
than |ust us." Burgess said. "It w ill hurt the Moot
Board too. and it’s not their fault."
Committee member Joey Lyons originally
motioned to loan the SBA $3,200 to cover the
spent funds, but the motion died for lack of a sec -
ond.
Cannon then motioned to give the SBA $650 as
a show of fairness to the group because the II.SA
also received $650. Lyons amended Cannon's
motion for the final decision.
Inc Bowen, ASUO president, said at tin* meet
ing that SBA's use of the money was illegal under
ASUO guidelines.
In other IFC news, the committee decided to
keep summer IFC fees at the level of $22 per stu
dent. If the committee had increased the fees, it
would have represented the fee's fourth increase.
The committee also increased its ranks by two
Wednesday night with the last two appointments
to the committee. The IFC' now- stands at full
strength with seven members.
The new appointments. Samir Kumar and Kris
Cornwell, were approved by the Student Senate
last week
MEETING
Continued from Page 1
Kngelkmg said there was coni aim
dial a possible unknown ruling
by this Oregon Slate Board of
Higher Kducation. or another
piece of legislation lliui legal
counsel weren't aware of, could
later haunt them
"That puts us in a strange sit
uation.'' he said, "so just to make
sure we're not in any liability
there, we dec ided to go ahead
and have an open meeting."
Cannon said the issue should
have been resolved before the
first meeting and not by the third.
Committee members began
their meeting Wednesday by dis
cussing how they should handle
media interest in committee
meetings
"I think we should bore them
to death." said committee mem
ber John Orbed, a professor in
political science, holding a copy
of Tuesday's Emerald that list
ed Cainnon's complaints. "Give
them nothing but rank, name and
serial number."
Kngelking said at the meeting,
"The news media (are) going to
cover this in ways we do like and
ways we don't like. ... It is clear
this committee is under a lot of
scrutiny, but we need to close
ourselves off to that kind of
scrutiny (and do our work)."
Committee member Joseph
Wade, who is also director of aca
demic advising, said, "If we jump
in without a goal, we will have
the same problem as last year.”
The committee's i herge is to
offer suggestions to the Univer
sity Assembly on multicultural
curriculum and on the Senate's
motion debated last spring.
Engelking said. The chairman
emphasized that the committee
exists only to make suggestions
and not rules. Rules are the
Assembly's job. he said.
lie also tried to deflect criti
cism that the i ommittees make
up doesn't represent minority
interests and instead "looks like
a bunt h of old white guys," he
said.
"The committee was carefully
put together by the Legislature
and the provost to make this com
mittee look representative of the
University." he said. "The facul
ty actually is predominantly
white male and does represent
that perspective.... Faculty might
be less interested in a recom
mendation from a committee that
advanced the multicultural agen
da but might l>e more disposed to
looking at traditional academic
virtues.”
The committee includes five
white males, three women and
three people of color. ASUO Vice
President Diana Collins Puente
is the only student representative
on the committee.
Although the committee has
vet to decide if it will allow ver
bal comment, the committee said
it would receive written com
ment until Nov. 19. Engelking
will write a memo to University
faculty and student groups to
request comment. The letter is
expected to be mailed by next
week.
Committee members also said
Wednesday that part of their goal
setting would include accepting
a perspective on how to base
multicultural curriculum at the
University.
Whether that perspective is
international, humanistic or from
some other point of view, com
mittee members said developing
it was important to their final
decision.
