A UO CAMPUS ALTERNATIVE
SINCE 1974
a proud member of Unique Eugene
Danielle Hickey Emerald
PFC member Michael Sherman (left), PFC administrative assisant Kathleen Peterson (middle), and PFC member Mike Martell met
with the PFC board Tuesday night in the Rogue Room of the EMU in a series of budget meetings taking place for the next month.
PFC

has consistently left unspent mon
ey in its budget, sometimes failing
to spend as much as $1,000. Enge
man said she knew it was unlikely
the group would be given the fund
ing they asked for.
“We really need to get a strong
footing and spend all of the money
they’ve given us before asking for a
substantial budget increase,” Enge
man said.
Another group trying to restore
its program, the American Institute
of Architecture Students, was also
turned down for increased funding
requests at the meeting. AIAS
asked for an extra $162 in their
budget, but PFC was reluctant to
increase the group’s funding be
cause it fell apart two years ago and
is now restoring its membership.
The final budget for AIAS was
$580, an 18.3 percent decrease.
PFC At-Large James Tilford validat
ed the committee’s decision to de
crease AIAS’s funding and said the
group failed to spend 44 percent of
its budget last year.
“My concern is I see a lack of sta
bility, and we have a responsibility
to allocate money to groups that are
fiscally responsible,” Tilford said.
PFG voted unanimously to follow
the ASUO Executive Recommenda
tion for the Criminal Law Associa
tion and allocated $550 for the
group, a 3.5 percent decrease. PFC
also amended the group’s mission
statement to say the group is open
to all University students, not just
law students.
The Japanese Student Organiza
tion received a modest funding
boost of $3,914, a 4.37 percent in
crease. The JSO budget hearing ran
longer than the allotted half hour as
the group and PFC tried to recon
cile different ideas about how much
money JSO needed for Japan Night.
The Executive Recommendation
was originally $1,720 for the event,
but after extended discussion, PFC
beefed up funding for Japan Night
to $1,875.
PFC followed precedent in final
izing the 2003-04 budget for Kul
tura Pilipinas. PFC Programs Ap
pointee Joy Nair said the group’s
request for money to fund a camp
ing trip was problematic because
PFG frowned upon using student
incidental fees to pay for socializ
ing trips. That precedent prompt
ed PFG to redirect finances toward
paying for the group’s culture night
instead. In the end, KP received a
total of $2,529, an increase of 24.9
percent, Monday night’s largest
budget increase.
PFG allocated $587 to the Arts
and Administration Student Forum,
a 3.77 percent decrease. The group
was originally looking at a decrease
of 7.8 percent, but was able to nego
tiate with PFG to limit the severity
of their funding cut.
Two student groups did not at
tend their scheduled budget hearing
with the PFG Monday night. The
Asian-Pacific American Law Stu
dents Association had signed up for
two meetings, and PFG voted to
table their hearing for Jan. 14. The
Hong Kong Student Association re
quested to reschedule its hearing for
Jan. 30, when more members would
be available to attend.
