The PFC decided that committee member Lawrence Gillespie could be perceived as having a conflict of interest with the group’s budget be cause he is a former BSU member. Only four PFC members attended the meeting, and PFC rules require that at least four committee mem bers vote. Since Gillespie couldn't vote, the PFC chose to postpone the BSU’s hearing. This is the second time the PFC has postponed a group’s hearing due to lack of quorum, or not hav ing enough voting members. The Multicultural Center’s budget hear ing was postponed for the same reason. PFC Chairwoman Mary Eliza beth Madden said that absent PFC members haven’t consistently caused a huge problem, but in the last few meetings, lack of atten dance has forced the committee to postpone two group budgets. Although the BSU will have to return for a hearing, the American Institute of Architecture Student’s budget was approved. The AIAS asked for a 32.2 per cent increase, but the PFC gave the AIAS a 1 percent decrease instead because the group had a high rollover from last year. Gillespie encouraged the organization to spend its budget wisely next year, so it will have a better chance of getting more funds. “If you can show that you can be fiscally responsible, then maybe you’ll be able to get an increase Hearing Results: Black Student Union First Hearing tabled Second Hearing $0 Appeal postponed Chess dub First Hearing $0 Appeal $300 American Institute of Architecture Students First Hearing $0 Appeal $905 next year,” he said. All groups have until 5 p.m. Tuesday to appeal their budgets. Beyond this deadline, they will have to appeal to the ASUO Senate. Schatzel/Stolle continued from page 1 A: Mac Court. From what I’ve heard, it was the whole lower ring, all the green seats, and now it’s 35 to 40 percent of that is students, and the rest is alumni. So our goal would be to get it all back. But I think with the alumni you’re deal ing with a lot of money, a lot of power. Q: Recent history shows a tense relationship between the ASUO Executive and University Presi dent Dave Frohnmayer. Do you plan on improving that relation ship and, if so, how? A: I would think just saying, “Hey, Dave,” I’ve met him before a couple of times and he seems like want to get back all the student seats in Mac Court. Brad Schatzel candidate for ASUO president a nice guy. Just be like, “I’m the new president. This is my VP, Kev. Here’s what we want to do. The trouble in the past I’d like to be water under the bridge.” When I was hanging out at Johnson Hall last year, I thought the way Dave handled himself and handled the problem was really professional and the way to go. Q: How would you do things differently than current President Jay Breslow and Vice President Holly Magner? A: They were the new kids on the block, but I don’t know what they’ve done other than the voter drive. But we have the one cam paign promise and that’s it.
