Group whines away budget chances
By Edward Kloptenstein
on 0*Y tmiyak}
The Incidental Fee Committee voted for several
modest increases in program budgets Thursday
night, while < utting all funding to one organiza
tion
The National Lawyer's Guild r*t eived no money
for next year because main IFC members voiced
concern about the group's lack of activities
The IFC originally tied in a vote on the group's
goal statement, which would have denied the
group IFC recognition
But, Committee Member Samir Kumar later
i hanged his vote and allowed the group to be
heard.
An obviously tense Dan Keitman, co-director for
the law group, told the IFC that little fundraising
had been done. The IFC has emphasized this year
that that programs need to fundraise to be consid
ered for budget increases.
"For the fourth or Fifth time, no, I didn't,'' Kelt
man said about fundraising.
The group’s budget includes about $500 collet t
oil from dues
Keitman said that money came slow to the group
and would lie hard to replai e
Committee Member Caitilin Twain said those
hinds would lie enough ftir the group to operate on
through next vear until the group can reorganize
"You didn't even know who your speaker was.
Twain said
Keitman said earlier that as a member last year,
he couldn't remember who the group requested to
speak.
There are no assurances that the group's lack of
activity wouldn't be repealed next year. Twain
said. with Keitman adding th.it hr plans to i hange
that by providing good training for the next group
I havo some concern if vou are going to lie tin*
people doing that." I'w.im said
Committee Member Kris Cornwell motioned
that the group have no budget next year
The motion was passed unanimously
Didn't you tell them about the fraud tase."
Andrew Koss. a member of the law organization,
said to Keitman as the two left
"OK. 1 forgot about that. Keitman said, adding
that another Nl.C. member was at fault for not
bringing that information.
"Don't mention other people It’s rude," Koss
said.
In other IFC business, hand. Air and Water, an
environmental laxv organization, received a JH
percent increase after several IFC members ques
tioned whether the group couldn't afford a small
decrease instead
I he law group organizes n yearly environmental
laxv conferem e which attrni Is up to 2.500 people,
said representatives of the group.
Though the group had $2,000 left over from
donations from the last conferem e. they ret eived
a special request last summer for over $700 for
new phone lines
Francis Neo. ASl'() Imam e coordinator, said the
52.0(H) washed over into the IFC "s general ai < ount.
the same account that the !F(. took the money to
fund the new phono lines
The group ret.eived a $7,221 budget for next
year
The Philosophy Club also received n modest
increase Thursday. The IFC added 12 [>eri cut to
the group's budget, bringing it to SH.'i2

increased. however Big Town Hero, a sandwich shop located
on hho K 13th Avo., will soon fat e new competition from the
Taco Hull nest door.
'It's really hard to tell il the new store will hurt business,
although initially it probably will." said Big Town Hero own
er Mike Brooks "We do pretty well, but because of their low
er prices, the food (.arts on 13th Avenue will be affected. It's
|ust another person tocompoto with.”
Although Toco Bell's chief competitor. TacoTime. recently
expanded its franchise to rater students and faculty in the EMU
Fishbowl, Weber contends that Taco Bell is not looking for any
significant competitive gains or detraction from other businesses
"1 don't know what the general impact will bo. but I don't
lielieve it will affect surrounding businesses that much,” Weber
said. "By offering another choice, we hope that we are doing
a service to the community and surrounding areas."
The new express store expects to have a 12 to 15 person seat
ing capacity with a limited menu featuring Taco Bell’s most
popular items. Although the new store is smaller than the four
other Taco Bell restaurants in Eugene, Weber Enterprises plans
to prosper from profits received from students passing through
the area during school.
"The pricing is structured to help students." Weber said.
"Prices will lie the same as they are at our other locations."
With the opening target date set for this spring, Taco Bell's
Eugene franchise is accepting applications for employment at
the new store lieginning March 1
