ASUO funds Journey despite mixed reviews ■ EXECUTIVE: Events line item provided $250 to advertise presentation By Jennifer Carter Managing Editor When The Journey made its appearance at the University Tuesday, the group shared ideas with students about how to bridge the generation gap and shared experiences about inter viewing the likes of Billy Crystal and Texas Gov. Ann Richards. And the students shared too, but not just in words. Through the ASUO Executive, students also shared $250 in student fees. ASUO President Matthew Scotten said the money went to The Journey, a group of three people who have been traveling around America to talk to soci ety’s elders. Scotten said the money helped fund flyers and other forms of publicity for the presentation. He said the decision to fund the group was a consensus-based decision on the part of the Exec utive and was made because they felt students would benefit cul turally from meeting with The Journey. This meeting was taped College Students - 1/2 Price Exp. 11-15-96 1-800-452-6376 and may be included in an up coming Disney documentary about the group’s travels. “I think we got the sense that we were getting a really good deal," he said. “1 think people thought it was definitely worth while because students got the opportunity to be a part in a na tional film.” Student opportunity was one reason the ASUO decided to fund The Journey as an ASUO event, through student govern ment’s events account. This is different than how the ASUO Ex ecutive funds student programs, which are co-sponsored through a fund-raising account. Because the money came out of events, ASUO Vice President Glen Banfield said the presenta tion was effectively a student government event. Banfield said the $250 donation is comparative to publicity costs for similar events. He cited a reception that took place Wednesday night for students and faculty of color. ASUO donated about $300 to this event, he said. Javier Cervantes, a senior ma joring in political science, who was at Tuesday’s event, said he is concerned The Journey was giv Get Zip.

Did they follow up on anything with this campus? I feel like they just took the money and left. — Javier Cervantes senior, political science -33 en student fees because they are being sponsored by Disney. “Disney’s a multi-million dol lar corporation,” he said. “Giving $250 doesn’t mean anything to them, but it could mean a lot to students who want to put on an event.” He said he is also concerned about the long-term benefits The Journey may bring to the Univer sity. “Where are they now?” he asked. “Did they follow up on anything with this campus? I feel like they just took the money and left. “How does this benefit stu dents as a whole? I mean, there's no guarantee that the documen tary will happen — it could fall through.” Students involved in various student unions expressed some concern about how members of The Journey interacted with them. Cervantes said he felt that the trio was amiable like most “Hollywood people are,” but also “bullied” people to an extent. Sho Shigeoka, the director of the ASUO Women’s Center, said she had a similar experience with The Journey in a women of color support group last Friday. She said she agrees with The Journey’s message, but felt they took up valuable meeting time. “At least for our group 1 felt like he [Eric Saperston of The Journey] invaded our space,” she said. “I believe in the project — I think it’s great, but the way they communicated didn’t feel right.” She said members of the Asian Pacific American Student Union, MEChA and the Black Student Union expressed concern about The Journey as well. Saperston said he is frustrated that some students of color felt like they had a negative experi ence with the group. “I come away thinking ‘OK, I need to ex press myself better in the future.’ “But the project is about learn ing. Our intent was to get stu dents involved.” I ONE ITEM CAMPUS' FREE deuve I plu.Two (!)«=*« I 11 ox.
