PFC boosts YWCA’s budget
■The committee also
granted an increase to the
Student Senate
By Emily Gust
Oregon Daily Emerald
Continuing to plow through budg
et hearings for more than 100 ASUO
programs, the Programs Finance
Committee checked several hearings
off its list Tuesday night. 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.
