Senate examines SETA’s budget
s
■ MEETING: The Student
Health Center was allocated
funds to cover extra costs
By Angie Suchy
Student Activities Editor
The ASUO Student Senate
funded $200 in costs for the Date
Rape Mock Trial and sent repre
sentatives from Students for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals
home Wednesday during a rela
tively short meeting.
Students for the Ethical Treat
ment of Animals was appealing
the Senate after asking the Pro
grams Finance Committee for a
1,384 percent increase. However,
SETA’s PFC budget hearing was
r
postponed to Saturday, at which
time it is predicted that their bud
get will receive about an 8 per
cent increase. It was decided that
postponing the SETA budget
should not be referred to as an ap
peal and the SETA representa
tives were excused.
Annie Dochnahl, student
health center health educator,
asked for a minimum of $100
from the surplus budget funds to
cover a portion of the $800 costs
leftover from the “JustUs” mock
rape trial last month at the Uni
versity. The Senate agreed to use
$200 toward the SHC request
from the surplus funding.
During committee reports, it
was announced that any student
who wants to run for office for the
1997-98 school year must collect
500 signatures.
The Programs Finance Com
mittee reported a 7.8 percent in
crease in the student group bud
gets thus far for the upcoming
school year.
The EMU Board representative
reported that the lease for the
Footnotes space in the EMU ends
this year, and the EMU Board is
examining whether or not to ex
tend the group’s lease.
Senator Bill Miner encouraged
the Senate Rules Committee to
adopt an official Ethics Commit
tee because of a lack of method
to discipline student Senators
other than for minor violations.

and has a good reputation for
its community-based residen

The proposed workshops in
clude a creation of a personal
history by putting life experi
ences on paper, or turning
them into literary works or per
NEWS
X
formance pieces. The session
may also cover a text and

uses movement as it is inspired
by the spirit or emotional qual
ity or literal interpretation of a
text.
The performance group has
expressed interest in working
with the gay community, but
all are welcome. Twelve partic
ipants have registered for the
free workshop and registration
is recommended but not re

Facility: Site could affect environment
■ Continued from Page 1
A Junction City businessman showed concern for
what kind of image the prison site might cast on the
community.
I think we need to consider the broader aspect of
what siting this type of facility is going to do to the
community and the image throughout the country,”
said Eric Nill of Guaranty Dealerships.
Strader said it’s important for the community to in
vestigate the social issues, but she said the impact in
other cities with prisons has not been noticeable.
“Lots of people say, ‘We don’t want to be known as
a prison town,”’ she said. “It doesn’t thwart develop
ment.”
Thousands of migratory birds inhabit the parcels of
land proposed for the Mill Iron site, and Nill said he
,
was concerned about the environmental repercus
sions of a facility on the land.
Geese don’t seem to mind that people behind
walls are not model citizens,” Strader said, citing ex
amples of the state penitentiary in Salem.
Another Junction City resident said the prison site
seems like it’s being forced on the community.
In a sense, it’s kind of like the 500-pound gorilla,”
said Gary Crum. He said it sits wherever it wants to.
This is your community,” Strader said, and he
urged residents to suggest a better site that is less in
trusive.
Update meetings will be held Feb. 14 and 25 at Lane
Community College, and citizens will iiave an oppor
tunity to ask questions and make suggestions.
