Senate hands out $20395 of surplus ■ Student Senate votes to keep preseason ticket prices low and funds an Ad Club trip By Emily Gust Oregon Daily Emerald If students want to attend the Sep. 1 football season opener against Wisconsin, they’ll have to shell out $4.50 to get in the door. But that’s still less than what it could have been. In the past, tickets for non-confer ence games have been free to students. But ris ing ticket values mean the Athletic Department can no longer afford the free tickets, and other options on the table would have required students to pay up to $15 per ticket for the two games before school starts. University Senate The Athletic Department Fi nance Committee, which handles the amount of money the depart ment receives from the student in cidental fee, managed to lower that number. The committee only had to find a little more than $22,000 from other sources to make the de partment agree. The deal needed to be sealed during the ASUO Student Senate meeting Wednesday night — and it was, as the senate granted the ADFC $10,000 out of the general surplus. The remaining $12,000 is coming from the McArthur Court subsidy. The major debate of the meeting, however, was not the ADFC’s re quest of $10,000, but the Ad Club’s request of $10,395. The request was turned into the senate Monday af ternoon, which aroused concern and triggered a two-minute recess minutes after the meeting began. Senate rules dictate that all re quests over $999 must be submitted to the senate at least one week in advance. And senior political sci ence major Alan Tauber argued that another rule, 12.5, states the senate cannot suspend its rules for any reason — which is what some sena tors suggested doing in order to hear the Ad Club’s request. “Can’t do it — too bad, so sad,” Tauber said, standing up. “See you next week.” But many of the senators dis agreed. Senate President Peter Watts said not only has the senate set prece dent for disregarding the one-week rule, but that minutes earlier the body had voted to hear the ADFC’s request, which also came in less than one week in advance. Watts said that what the senate does for one group, it must do for the other — regardless of whether they are major or minor programs. And in the end, the majority of the senate agreed, granting the Ad Club’s re quest.
