ASUO President Wylie Chen said the decision is a major vali dation of student government as a whole, as well as the other pro grams on campus. “It reinforces any questions and erases any doubt people have about paying the fee,” he said. While the decision protects fee allocation, it also opens the door for more liberal spending on campus in the future because other political and religious groups now have a claim to Uni versity funds. The University of Oregon’s fee system is currently stricter than Wisconsin’s in that political groups such as the College De mocrats and College Republicans do not get fee funds. Also, OS PIRG does not receive money for political campaigns whereas WisPIRG can use student fees for political purposes as well as en vironmental and informational campaigns. In the decision, justices also said funding decisions need to be “viewpoint neutral.” The Pro grams Finance Committee, which allocates fee money for the student groups on campus such as the Black Student Union and the Multicultural Center, current ly gives fee money without re garding a group’s views. The new rule could cause controversy if more political and religious groups come to PFC for student money. “We’ll be seeing what else we can fund,” Chen said. “Wiscon sin shows they can do this, and [A university] is enti tled to impose a manda tory fee to sustain an open dialogue... Anthony Kennedy U.S. Supreme Court justice it’s totally legal.” Merriah Fairchild, state board chair for OSPIRG and an advo cate for the fee while the justices deliberated the Southworth case, said it is a possibility that OS PIRG would look into spending fee money for political cam paigns. “We will look into creating the most social change possible [and look for] ways to be more effec tive,” she said. One final part of policy might have to change at the University, however. The justices ruled that it is unconstitutional for stu dents to vote on whether to fund a group. Students made that choice last year when a majority voted to fund OSPIRG for two years. *v ar^.»23Mt^ Recycle • Recycle • Recycle • Recycle g0st -'^>r?i sgg& Bring your textbook information to Smith Family Bookstore ■ \ r • Author • Title • Edition s We 7/ help you find used copies that will save you $$$ Sell us those texts, paperbacks & magazines you no longer use.
