PFC continued from page 1 will go toward the group’s culture night, she said. PFC also nearly doubled the budget of the Criminal Law Asso ciation, bringing it up from $300 this year to $580 for next year. Madden said PFC felt the increase was justified because CLA, a first year group, has managed its mon ey well this year. The group plans to use the extra money to fund speakers’ fees and a competition registration.fee, she said. The Korean Student Associa tion received the largest budget cut, falling from $2,545 for this year to $1,560 for next year — a decrease of nearly 40 percent. KSA members requested a $2,880 increase, but after examining the group’s previous spending arid scheduled events, PFC members concluded the group had overes timated its expenses. “To be honest, (the KSA budg et) looks a little inflated,” PFC Programs Appointee Joe Streckert said at the Thursday night KSA hearing. “I hate to use that word, but it does.” Members generally reached a consensus quickly, Madden said. None of the budgets presented this week exceeded $5,000. Three groups — AVENU, the Latin American and Caribbean Stu dents Organization, and the Tai wanese Student Organization — failed to submit a budget and were de-funded. “These are all pretty small budg ets. ... There wasn’t a lot of contro versy or dissent,” Madden said. “Next week will be quite different, I imagine.” Hearings scheduled next week include MEChA, the ' Oregon Voice and the Survival Center on Monday. Tuesday’s hearing schedule includes the Oregon Marching Band as well as the In ternational Resource Center, which is the first group previous ly funded by ballot measure to go before PFC. Groups scheduled for Thursday include the Oregon Commentator, the Student Bar Association and OSPIRG. More PFC hearing schedule in formation is available online at www.dailyemerald.com.

The Pac 10 2002 3 on 3 Shootout is produced and managed by Fast Action Sports, on behalf of Pac 10 Properties Museum of Art continued from page 1 “It’s going to completely trans form the space,” he said. The antiquated art storage in the basement, or “vault,” of the muse um and climate controls will be re placed, and the exhibition areas will be increased in size from 8,000 to 22,000 square feet. “Our ambitions have always been there — but we never had the space to fulfill them,” Fong said. An education wing with a studio for University students, K-12 classes and the general public will be estab lished. Other new features will in clude a museum store and cafe, and a special events area for receptions, lectures and fundraising activities. “What people will appreciate ful ly when we reopen is how far we have advanced this museum with collections, exhibitions and educa tion programs,” Fong said. McDonald said the museum — which opened to the public in 1932 — was built in the late 1920s. And while it was designed to be a much larger building, the Great Depres sion caused the museum to be built smaller than anticipated. The building is listed on the Na tional Register for Historic Places, but museum officials said its defi ciencies in gallery space, humidity, and electrical and environment sys tems for preserving works have pre vented it from being able to house* special exhibitions. The almost $13 million project is still about $500,000 short of funding, Fong said. The project is being fund ed partly from a state bond measure and partly through gifts from individ uals, foundations and businesses. Disability access was not part of the existing museum, but the reno vated building will be completely accessible to persons with disabili ties. Fong said even though the Campbell Memorial Courtyard will remain where it is currently locat ed, both sides of it will have marble ramps for disability access. “We’ll be able to show more of our own collection and be able to meet the academic desires of the Universi ty,” McDonald said, also adding that the museum will be able to showcase more borrowed collections than ever before in a changing exhibition area. University students from the fine arts, architecture, arts and adminis trations and art history departments have had the unique opportunity to practice the application of their studies while the museum is closed, Fong said. The museum staff is also still running a docent program at lo cal high schools and working on ed ucational outreach. “To have the museum closed is difficult because our courses are so much tied to the experience of art firsthand,” said Kate Nicholson, who heads the art history depart ment and also serves on the muse um’s board of directors. But she said for students such as those taking Museology 411, taught by Fong this term, they are learning about what is involved in preparing the ex hibitions that will be featured when the museum reopens. The museology class teaches theories and techniques in the operation of art museums. Doug Blandy, director of the arts and administration program, said the graduate students in his program have a unique opportunity to wit ness a renovation firsthand before transitioning into museum jobs. He said students will help plan for the opening. “It is certainly going to be a much improved facility,” Blandy said. “It will be state-of-the-art in terms of what will be provided in terms of exhibitions and arts education.” For more information about the museum, visit http://uoma.uore gon.edu or call 346-3027.
