Currently, the Commentator receives $8,068. next year it will receive $9,700. The Commentator * budget was heard by the IFC earlier this year, however. ASUO President Eric Bowen vetoed the budget, because he believed some of the line item allocations were unnecessary. Previously the Commentator was allocated a 31 percent increase Bowen took issue with the fact that the (Com mentator was paying rant to the EMU. despite the fad that it is an ASUO funded program As a result, the Commentator met with the EMU Board, which voted the Commentator will not have to continue to pay rent. “In the long run we're glad that the student* don't have to pay rent." Ea Canton, editor of the Commentator, said. The larged increase in the budget was for print ing coats. In January, the Commentator increased its publication frequency, it is now published every two weeks. The Commentator budgeted to publish 16 journals next year, this year the staff will produce 12 issues. Tm telephone line item was also increased in the budget. Publisher, Owen Brennan Rounds said. "In order to run efficiently, we need more phones." Brennan Rounds said since they publish more often, the staff of the Commentator has discov ered the>' need a multiple phone line system. Ho said this will allow the staff to be equipped to answer more than one call at a time. "Like any organization, we wanted to get the full amount," Carson said. "But we're happy." positions could be financed by the IFC, "All the program funds on the face of the planet won't do any good It's the people that make the difference."

Wotton said he believes Eugene is a safe place to live, despite people's fears of growing crime rates He supports com munity policing and believes a neighborhood approach is impor tant "I'm strongly in favor of pre vention as an approach to crime rather than just answering calls," ho said. A four-minute emergency response time to all areas of Eugene is imperative. Wotton said Me would urge the council to open new fire stations so the response time can be met. Eugene can improve its liv ability by maintaining traffic lev els. planting tnxfs and supporting n eigh borhood organ i zat i on s, Wotton said He favors a six-lane Ferry Street Bridge and would like to discourage people from using automobiles. "We can incrementally require automobile drivers to pay more of the overall cost of automobile use,” he said. "Right now we're subsidizing automobiles." Planting trees, he said, would soften the impact of strip zoning and buffer noise from highways. Wotton is co-chairman of the South University Neighborhood Association. He said he believes neighborhood groups are impor tant to the livability of the city. Wotton. 74. has lived in Eugene for 15 years.
