Senate passes PFC budget
During Wednesday’s ASUO Stu
dent Senate meeting, senators
passed the Programs Finance Com
mittee budget of $4,294,948 with a
vote of 12-2. In opposing the meas
ure, Sen. Andy Elliott said he did
not think the Senate should simply
accept the PFC’s decisions as accu
rate based on faith.
“In many PFC hearings with stu
dent groups, I did not think that view
point neutrality was implemented
correctly or fairly,” he said.
Senate President Peter Watts said
he would suggest that future finance
committees scrutinize more equally.
“In the meetings that I attended,
the PFC went through everything
thoroughly for some groups and less
thoroughly for other groups,” he said.
“I just think that it is important to
treat all groups as equals. ”
Sen. Mary Elizabeth Madden
said she believed the PFC’s ques
tioning was fair because different
situations require different levels of
scrutiny, and the PFC gave more at
tention to student groups who had
rollovers in their budgets or ques
tionable current spending.
Before the PFC budget vote, sena
tors denied the Oregon Daily Emer
ald’s request to hear its budget appeal.
While nine senators voted in favor, 12
votes, or two-thirds of all filled Senate
seats, were required for passage.
Madden said according to Senate
Rule 9.11, the Senate would be vio
lating ASUO laws if it heard the ap
peal because the Emerald had not ex
hausted all three of its appeals.
Watts disagreed and said the
Emerald should have a chance to
present its appeal.
“They have the ability to come to
the Senate, and they should be
heard,” he said.
After the first appeal process,
the Emerald requested a one-day
extension to submit another ap
peal. The PFC voted against granti
ng this extension and did not hear
the second appeal.
Elliott said the Emerald requested
the minutes from last year’s PFC
meeting on Wednesday afternoon
and did not receive those minutes
until 5 p.m. because the ASUO could
not locate the minutes quickly.
In other business, the Senate, on a
7-8 vote, denied Campus Recycling’s
request for $4,500 to help pay for a re
cycling effort for the Folk Festival on
campus. Campus Recycling plans to
use plastic plates and forks at the
three-day festival.
“The Senate is supposed to be the
last resort for receiving funds,” Sen.
Katie Howard said. “I would like to
see them do some fundraising.”
The Senate voted 10-5 to give Club
Sports Dance Team $4,550 from sur
plus money for a trip to nationals in
Daytona, Florida. They voted 14-1 to
move $431,874 from the overrealized
account to equipment replacement
reserve for the EMU as well as
$190,745 from the overrealized ac
count to the building repair reserve.
The Senate approved ASUO’s re
quest to move 118,069 from the over
realized account to the programs and
assessment reserve with a 13-2 vote.

Black Student Union holds
educational meeting
When most people think of
prominent African American lead
ers, Martin Luther King Jr. may be
the first to come to mind, with Mai
colm X a close second. Tonight, the
Black Student Union wants to cre
atively educate people about lesser
known historical figures.
“We’re trying to pay tribute to un
sung heroes,” BSU co-director Haben
Woldu said. “There are a lot of lead
ers (during the Civil Rights move
ment) at the grassroots level that actu
ally ran the voting campaigns, spoke
to the African American Community
and conducted the freedom rides. ”
The BSU acting troop will act out
the leaders’ stories with mono
logues and skits at 7 p.m. in the
EMU Gumwood room. BSU mem
bers will be portraying leaders such
as Diane Nash, Ella Fitzgerald, and
Fannie Lou Hamer.
BSU member Mohammed Jalloh
will be acting out political leader
Marcus Garvey, an organizer of the
worldwide Pan-African movement
to move Africans outside Africa
back to their home country, he said.

Eugene mayor appoints
temporary city manager
Eugene Mayor Jim Torrey named
Jim Carlson as the protem Eugene
City Manager on Wednesday.
As protem city manager, Carlson
will act in a temporary capacity until
the Eugene City Council selects a per
manent replacement, which may not
get underway until this summer.
Carlson is currently the assistant for

Johnson announced his resigna
tion in November.
“Carlson has a broad spectrum of

the necessary background to serve
as city manager,” Torrey said.

Incidents

charge inadequate.
Project Saferide co-director Nik
ki Fancher said Oregon laws are
flawed and should treat such inci
dents as sex crimes.
“It is my opinion that anytime
someone forces you to witness sexual
actions, it’s a sex crime,” she said.
University student Erin Pettigrew,
who leads a Women’s Studies 101 dis
cussion group and whom Broadbent
told about the incident, said of the
laws, “I’m not trying to be puritanical,
but putting a penis against someone’s
window is just not cool. ”
Fancher and Pettigrew said the
University and organizations with
in it purposely keep such incidents
underpublicized to protect the Uni
versity’s image.
“Quite frankly, I think the lack of
nm
Today’s Army National
Guard gives you the oppor
tunity to be both. Take
advantage of up to $472
per month for college plus
up to $10,000 in student loan repayments, all while
attending college full time. In addition, receive up to $8,000
in enlistment bonuses and paid skill training.

response (from University admin
istration) has confirmed my previ
ous suspicion that they’re not real
ly interested in protecting
women,” Pettigrew said.
Anne Leavitt, the University as
sociate vice president in charge of
student affairs, said the school in
tentionally publicizes criminal in
stances, especially when a trend be
gins to develop.
“We put them on all the buildings,
all the entrances and all over hous
ing,’’Leavitt said.
Broadbent said the incident is
another reason she feels unsafe on
campus.
“I feel like I’m at a high risk living in
the dorms, and at the University,” she
said. “I don’t like feeling like I can’t
walk to my bathroom. ’ ’
Broadbent also said she thinks
DPS officers investigating the scene
Monday morning didn’t take the sit
uation seriously.
“Some of the cops take this light
ly, and I don’t think this should be
taken lightly,” she said. “They told
me, ‘Just make sure when you go
outside you have someone with
you.’ Well, that’s nothing. There’s
got to be more to it than that. ”
Fitzpatrick said he can’t respond
to Broadbent’s statements without
first talking with her.
“If there are problems, we’re cer
tainly willing to address them if she
comes to the department,” he said.
“We do care, obviously.”
