The committee awarded Sister
U Project $935 for its 1996-97
budget. The group received a
10% increase. Sister U Project
asked for $960. The group plans
to use the money help University

movement in Latin America. One
of the groups projects is to ship
seven donated computers to stu

The PFC awarded the Pre
Health Science Center $857, an
increase of 29.8% from 1996-97.
The group requested $882. The
group asked for the increase to get
more involvement from commu

for $5468, an increase of 1.35%.

city officials and people on both sides Jan. 29. Hogan
will hear any final arguments and possibly issue a
schedule for moving the cross.
Some residents were unhappy about outsiders try
