Lack of quorum ends PFC hearings
■The Programs Finance
Committee passes one
budget, tables two others
By Beata Mostafavi
Oregon Daily Emerald
In the last week of budget hear
ings, the Programs Finance Com
mittee postponed the Black Stu
dent Union’s hearing because not
enough PFC members could vote
for the group’s budget.
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

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.

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.
