It approved budgets for six groups, de-funded two others and tabled two more. The PFC granted a 97 percent budget increase to the YWCA, part ly to add more funds to the group’s programming. “We’re constantly thinking of new ideas,” Executive Director Cathy Ko zlowicz said. But “we don’t have a lot of money to do programs.” Most of the increase, however, was to cover rising costs associated with the new stipend model being implemented this year. Many students are paid monthly stipends for their work in ASUO groups, but in the past, amounts have riuttK ^ programs. Those iMwll amounts are now ^e'n§ standardized MM*, ^or groups, which has meant higher pay for sev eral positions. The Student Senate’s budget also increased considerably because of the new stipend model, rising from $10,040 this year to $16,200 for next year. In addition to the higher stipends, the senate decided to start paying senators for an extra month each year. To help offset that increased cost, the senate discontinued funding for the summer senate because, Sen. Jennifer Greenough said, “we did n’t know how many people would be around doing their jobs.” The PFC tabled the Journal of En- . vironmental Law and Litigation’s „ budget because the group holds an outside bank account, which is against ASUO rules. The commit tee tabled Forensics for another rea son: The controller responsible for providing an Executive recommen dation failed to attend the hearing. The Black Law Student Associa tion and the House of Film did not appear for their respective hearings, forcing the PFC to de-fund both. Insurgent continued from page 1 about how to cause criminal mis chief. “On a scale of one to 10, it’s way up there,” he said. “That’s a big one.” The A.L.F.’s goal is to “liberate ani mals from places of abuse... [and] in flict economic damage to those who profit from the misery and exploita tion of animals,” according to its mis sion statement, which was printed in the pull-out primer. But the group stops short of ad vocating actual violence that could endanger animals or people. “Any action involving violence is by its definition not an A.L.F. ac tion,” the statement said. “In over 20 years, and thousands of actions, no body had ever been injured or killed in an A.L.F. action.” The Insurgent contributing writer Willie Thompson said the paper’s editorial collective made a majority decision to run the A.L.F. primer, the same process used to decide how and where the paper’s own content runs. “One of our main goals is to pro vide information ... not in the main stream media,” Thompson said. “I don’t feel it is inappropriate.” He added that the paper ran the how-to manual, including the primer, to educate people on ani mal research at the University and provide an avenue to foster politi cal dialogue. “The A.L.F. primer is given in the spirit to facilitate communication, to speak with professors,” Thomp son said. But Marrocco said any disclaimer is worthless when included in a four page breakdown of how to success fully sabotage slaughterhouses, labo ratories, fast-food restaurants and other establishments. “They completely reverse them selves. That’s real clear,” he said. Thompson said the paper re ceived positive feedback from both students and community members, and ASUO President Jay Breslow was the first person to raise concerns. Breslow said shortly after the De cember issue hit stands near the EMU and the University Bookstore, professors and research assistants began to call him with complaints. He met with some professors Fri day and informed them of The In surgent’s Jan. 23 Programs Finance Committee hearing. The PFC will deliberate at the meeting how much money the paper will have next year. Professors and students can file grievances with the PFC or Student Senate against The Insurgent, ac cording to PFC chair Mary Elizabeth Madden. She added that anyone concerned can also come to the meetings and speak about the group. Thompson is also a member of the PFC but said he plans to resign to focus on school before The Insur gent’s hearing. Breslow added he will meet with University general counsel Melin da Grier later this week to discuss any legal issues that could stem from printing the contact informa tion next to the A.L.F. primer. If legal issues arise, it could mean The Insurgent will lose its funding. Other professors in the how-to manual said they aren’t going to seek legal action, but they are con cerned about the A.L.F.’s call to criminal mischief in general. “I’m a strong supporter in free speech, but this manual steps a lit tle over the line,” said biology pro fessor Bill Roberts, whose office phone number and e-mail address were printed. Roberts added that they are being more aware of suspicious activity in science buildings on campus since the issue premiered. Biology professor James Weston said he isn’t taking any personal pre cautions, even though his office phone number is currently available in The Insurgent. He defended his experiments and called the A.L.F. primer “irresponsible publishing.” “The students who wrote it cer tainly didn’t use much sense,” We ston said. Oregon Daily Emerald P.O.
