ROUTE 66 IN GATEWAY MALL » VISA & MASTERCARD ACCEPTED Senate approves money for MEChA By Kristina Rudinskas Student Activities Reporter The Student Senate approved a $500 food line item request for MEChA’s Cinco de Mayo celebration at Oak Hill School at the Lane Community College on Sunday, May 3 from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m,. The request will help fund meat, beverages and desert for approximately 200 people. The celebration is free to students and the public and will consist of an awards cere mony, entertainment, music and food. Senator Jenna Wasson moved for immediate approval of the re quest, explaining the Cinco de Mayo celebration was a "good thing” and the food line item re quest was designed for this kind ofneed. The Senate postponed a request by the Women’s Center until next week for $842.50 for a food line item request to reimburse mon ey spent during the Women of Color Confer ence dinner dur ing the weekend of February 6th and 7th. The Hinnpr rnst an Student Senate proximately $8.00 per person and catering cost $12.00 per person. The Women’s Center did not re ceive die bill for the dinner until last week. “I am uncomfortable spend ing student fees on food that was used for fund raising pur poses,” Wasson said. The Sen ate postponed the request until more information about the money raised from the event could be determined. The Women’s Center will re turn next week to the Senate with more information about the amount of money raised from the event. The International Student As sociation also postponed a re quest for funding until next week. The Senate also decided to plan for a transition meeting to help train new student senators before the last Senate meeting on May 20th. Parks: Three levy proposals discussed ■ Continued from Page 1 One is a five-year tax levy that woul d cost residents $119 a year and produce $30 million in revenue for parks. Another is a 10-year tax bond that would cost residents $88 a year and produce $44.3 million in rev enue. The last is a 20-year bond that would end up producing $58.7 million. However, making the tax measure more appealing to voters by increasing the number of years voters have to pay it off presents a problem of its own — the city will still grow during the time the levies are extracting public funds. Thus, the burden on the park system would in crease over time, rendering the levy even more inade quate to deal with the full cost of improvements. "We’re falling farther and farther behind,” Culler said. The maintainance of different types of parks was brought up, an issue that is associated with cost. Three specific types of parks were identified: natural areas, neighborhood parks and athletic fields. Natural areas involve lower maintenance costs, while neighborhood parks and athletic fields demand more. Overall, residents at the meeting were skeptical of be ing able to meet the need for creating new neighborhood parks and athletic fields, but wanted the city to have the measure focus on acquiring more low-maintainance nat ural areas and upgrading existing athletic fields.
