Student Senate sets
budget increases
The ASUO Student Senate met
last night to approve benchmarks —
the upper limits on incidental fee
budgets — for the ASUO Program Fi
nance Committee, ASUO Athletic
Department Finance Committee and
the EMU Board.
PFC asked for a 16.15 percent in
crease in their budget from last year.
Committee members said the in
crease was because of new University
groups asking for funds, and increas

es in printing costs, advertising costs
and health insurance costs.
The senate voted first to increase
the budget by 15 percent, with some
senators arguing that funds were tight
and 15 percent would be enough.
That motion failed 8 to 9. The next
motion called for a 16.15 percent in
crease. It was approved 10 to 7.
ADFG members asked for a 9.5
percent increase in the group’s
benchmark. They said the funds
would be used for student tickets for
six football games and 13 basketball
games during the next school year.
Two of the football games would take
place before the school year begins
on September 29, 2003. The funds

would continue to give students free
access to other University sporting
events next year. The senate ap
proved this motion 16 to 1.
EMU Board representatives asked
for a 7 percent increase in their
benchmark. They said the increase
was required primarily because min
imum wage student salaries, which
constitute 61 percent of the EMU’s
budget, have increased. The majority
of senators agreed, and the motion
was approved 16 to 1.
Senators also appointed a new
member. University senior Alex Di
etrich was named to Senate Seat 2 by
a 16 to 1 vote.
“I realize the importance of all
the programs that (the University)
has, because these programs pro
vide opportunities for everybody,”

Banquet combats
worldwide hunger
OSPIRG, in partnership with the
Oregon Hillel House: Foundation
for Jewish Campus Life, will host a
World Hunger Banquet today at 6
p.m. to raise money and aware
ness about world disparity in food
and hunger.
“It’s around us all the time, and
the more we can educate people
about the disparity, the more we can
do about it,” OSPIRG campus organ
izer Jo Voss said.
Through a random drawing, each
person who attends the banquet will
be assigned to a group that repre
sents their income level for the
event. Meals will be distributed ac
cording to these income levels, and
will be similar to that of unequal
global distribution of resources.
Fifteen percent of the participants
will represent the high income coun
tries and will enjoy a substantial
meal. Thirty percent will represent
the middle class and will have a
much more simple meal of rice and
beans. Finally, the remaining 55 per
cent, who will represent the majority
of the people living in low-income
countries, will be given only rice for
their meal.
Che Chen, an intern for OSPIRG’s
Homeless and Hunger Campaign,
said they are expecting about 50 par
ticipants. Most will be students, she
said, but staff and community mem
bers are also invited.
Tickets can be purchased for $5
from the Oregon Student Public In
terest Research Group. All pro
ceeds will be donated to Food for
Lane County.

The content of Savage’s show has
stirred up other Oregon communi
ties as well. The Portland-based
Coalition Against Hate Radio was or
ganized in April to oppose Savage’s
show on KXL-AM. Like the campus
coalition against Savage, the Portland
group alleges that the radio personal
ity consistently makes bigoted and
prejudiced comments.
A founding member of the group,
Hisham Zubi, said the organization
opposes KXL’s broadcast of “Savage
Nation,” because KXL is the flagship
station of the Portland Trail Blazers
and therefore presumed to repre
sent Portland values. Zubi said the
group has been engaging in a cam
paign over the past few months to
convince KXL to remove Savage’s
show from its programming lineup.
But getting Savage off KUGN has
not been the goal of campus groups.
Eddy Morales, ASUO co-multicul
tural advocate, said the campus
coalition’s objective is simply to dis
associate the University from KUGN
programming they say is racist, not
trample on Savage’s First Amend
ment rights.
Zubi contends that the Coalition
Against Hate Radio is not violating
Savage’s right to free speech by ask
ing KXL to drop the show. He added
the First Amendment is a protection
against government interference
and therefore doesn’t apply to the
group’s private sector response.
“We’re just a group of concerned
individuals protesting the broadcast
of a show that vilifies minorities,”
Zubi said.
Cheyney Ryan, a philosophy pro
fessor at the University, said Savage
consistently makes remarks that de
mean women and minorities, in
cluding Asian Americans, Muslims,
homosexuals and Hispanics.
Ryan provided several examples
of these comments at the first meet
ing of the campus coalition on Nov.
7. Ryan said he obtained one com

ment from a story that was printed
in the San Jose Mercury News, in
which Savage was quoted as saying:
“The nation is being taken over by
the freaks, the cripples, the perverts
and the mental defective us.”

remaining silent is the worst thing students can do
when they are not represented.
“I think its important for people to stand up and say
‘no’ if we don’t agree with it,” she said. “I don’t think
war is the solution.”
The rally ended with a short march around campus.
Many people said they hope rallies across the country will
encourage the U.S. government to listen to the people.
“War is an addiction that we must break,” said
Gary Reiss, a Eugene resident and member of the lo
cal Middle East Peace group. “Together, we can
