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 There are no assurances that the group's lack of activity wouldn't be repealed next year.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.

'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 MISCHIEF Continued from Page 1A res! of Kugene The University spent more than S4.1KK) alone last year on i leaning ti|i grulfiti I'lus year looks to U> even worse, with the hill more than $(>00 sun e the beginning of January The Kugene police department, along with other t its workers, has the same polit y of cleaning lip graffiti hut isn’t as silt a essful hei ause of the mm h larger area that il lias to c.over Department spokesman Tim Htrr said graffiti lias a negative effort on u neighborhood It makes people living there feel unsafe and possibly invites an unwanted element into the area 1 loang ugreeii with this in that she now fears that her ear would make an easy target to the same offenders who hit the corner of her apartment building The coin pies is well lit and is at the ( or nor of a busy intersection, Mast IHth Avenue and Alder Street BEAT THE fit KILLER IN THE NATION!
