Senate committees
plan to allot funds
■Three budget committees
will distribute incidental fee
money among programs
By Emily Gust

When students begin classes on
Jan. 8, there will be another impor
tant beginning within the walls of
the EMU: The ASUO Student Sen
ate will begin dividing the inciden
tal fee among several EMU pro
grams, student tickets and more
than 100 ASUO programs.
The three budget committees —
the EMU Board, the Athletic De
partment Finance Committee and
the Programs Finance Committee —
will decide how much money the
groups will receive for their 2001
2002 budgets.
The money comes from the inci
dental fee, which University stu
dents pay each term.
With about $2.3 million on the line,
the PFC will waste no time. Hearings
begin the first Monday of winter term
and will continue throughout Janu
ary three times each week from 5 p.m.
until as late as it takes.
During the hearings, representa
tives from programs ranging from the
ASUO Constitution Court to Dance
Oregon—two of the first groups that
will present their budgets Jan. 8 —
will explain what their groups do and
why they want to increase or de
crease their budgets for next year.
The five-person committee will
examine how much each group
spent this year, as well as how much
money wasn’t used and thus placed
in the general surplus. It will also
look at any fundraising efforts the
program conducted.
The PFC will then deliberate and
a majority vote will decide how
much money the group will get.
“If groups don’t like what they get,
there is an appeals process,” said Sen.
Mary Elizabeth Madden, chair of the
Programs Finance Committee.
While it does not handle as large a
volume of programs as the PFC, the
EMU Board also has its work cut out
/OOOOOOOTX7
for it come January, Sen. Skye Ten
ney said. The board budgets money
from the incidental fee to 13 groups,
including the cultural forum and
EMU facilities.
Tenney, the budget chair for the
board, said it will divide a limited
amount of funds among several pro
grams that want more money.
Last week, the Senate approved
6.4 percent increase in the EMU’s
budget for next year.
“All the programs have requests
for money,” she said. “But we obvi
ously don’t have a lot of money to
hand out because 5.7 percent [of the
increase] is going to maintain cur
rent service level” of the EMU.
For the ADFC, there will be less di
viding of funds and more dealing
with the athletic department. The
ADFC and the athletic department
will spend January negotiating the
amount of student incidental fee
money that will pay for student tick
ets to football and men’s basketball
games, Sen. Jennifer Greenough said.
In February, the ADFC will pres
ent its budget to the Senate along
with the other two committees. Af
terward, the Senate will either ap
prove or deny each request.
Whichever budgets the Senate ap
proves will then go to ASUO Presi
dent Jay Breslow. Upon Breslow’s ap
proval, the budgets will be placed in
front of University President Dave
Frohnmayer. The last step takes the
budgets all the way to the Oregon
University System for final approval.
If the Senate does not approve the
budgets, Madden said, they gener
ally make specific recommenda
tions to change them. The commit
tees will make the relevant changes
and return with their revised budg
ets the next week.
“There are many competing in
terests, and it is impossible to please
everyone — especially while trying
to maintain a level of fiscal respon
sibility,” Greenough said about the
budget process. It “is long and ardu
ous, but having some student con
trol over incidental fees is worth the
time and effort.”
