Lone PFC budget increase to MCC
The Multicultural Center was
the only group to see an
increase in PFC funds, while
all others were reduced
Jennifer Bear
Campus/Federal Politics Reporter
The ASUO Programs Finance
Committee operated under a strict
sense of frugality Saturday, decreas
ing every group’s budget for 2003-04
except for one.
The Oregon Commentator’s
budget hearing was surprisingly free
of controversy, despite the group’s
funding decrease. Last year, a dis
pute erupted between the Com
mentator and PFC over the appro
priateness of the group’s mission
and goals statement. But relations
between the Commentator and the
committee seemed free of tension
at Saturday’s meeting.
The group eased PFC members’
concerns about $500 in rollover that
was caused by a late publication date
for the paper.
Commentator Publisher Bret Ja
cobson said the group is fiscally re
sponsible and fundraises to buy
equipment so that student inciden
tal fee money will only pay for the
creation of the publication. This
year, the group bought a new com
puter, laser printer and scanner with
its fundraising revenue.
“We make sure that every dollar

does go back directly into our prod
uct,” Jacobson said.
PFG members said they recog
nized the Commentator’s efforts to
spend responsibly, and the commit
tee decided to award the group with
(815,066, a 0.38 percent decrease.
Representatives for the Native
American Student Union asked PFC
not to decrease the group’s funding
for retention workshops, but their
pleas were unsuccessful.
NASU Co-Director Brent
Spencer said organizing retention
workshops is one of the group’s
most important endeavors because
of the University’s small number of
American Indian students. He said
the group had already offered fund
ing cuts to the committee in the
hopes that PFC would grant in
creases for the line items NASU felt
were most valuable.
ASUO Multicultural Co-Advocate
Maddy Melton argued in favor of PFC
giving NASU the requested funding.
“I think it’s extremely admirable
that our students’ unions are doing
jobs that the administration should
be doing,” Melton said.
However, PFC members said

they did not feel comfortable in
creasing funding for NASU reten
tion workshops because they had
no previous itemization to validate
their decision. The committee gave
NASU a budget of #18,211, a 7.37
percent decrease.
The Multicultural Center, a hub
for many student unions, was award
ed $84,714, a 7.57 percent increase.
MCC was the only group to receive
an increase at Saturday’s meeting.
PFC heard an appeal by the Mi
nority Law Student Association
about two director positions the
group said the committee should
fund. PFC opted not to fund the po
sitions at MLSA’s budget hearing
because the directors hadn’t filled
out payroll paperwork and weren’t
collecting stipend checks. After
extended discussion, PFG agreed to
fund one of the positions at $ 1,000
and allocated $30 for payroll
assessment.
PERMIAS, the Indonesian student
group at the University, received a
total budget of $4,054, a 4.95 per
cent decrease.
Three other groups were sched
uled to have their budgets approved
by the committee on Saturday. The
Philosophy Club failed to show up to
its hearing, which resulted in PFG
deciding not to fund its budget. Par
ents Attending Law School and the
Pre-Veterinary Club did not submit
budgets for 2003-04, and both
groups were defunded.

Woods
continued from page 1
Meanwhile, a hearing was sched
uled to possibly reduce Woods’
felony conviction to a misdemeanor.
Football head coach Mike Bellotti
and defensive coordinator Nick
Aliotti submitted separate letters for
the hearing, urging the judge to con
sider the progress Woods has made
since the assault.
Woods was convicted of assaulting
Kevin Walker on May 19,2000, while
two of his friends fatally injured an
other man, Christopher O’Leary. Ac
cording to several reports, Woods ini
tially confronted O’Leary but did not
take part in the beating. When Walk
er tried to break up the melee, how
ever, he too was assaulted.
Woods pleaded no contest to as
sault charges against Walker, and he
later had murder and assault
charges in O’Leary’s death dropped.
Woods was sentenced to one year in
jail, with time served for the 231
days already spent in custody.
Woods was originally supposed to
play football at Fresno State Univer
sity but could not because of his in
carceration. After his release, Woods
joined Fresno City College. Head
coach Tony Caviglia said Woods was

and added that he “came out with
flying colors.”
“He was in the wrong situation at
the wrong time,” Caviglia said. 4iBy
no means is he a bad kid.”
Frohnmayer was unable to com
ment on the situation last week,
but after meeting with Williams,
Moos and Bellotti yesterday, he
said he felt more comfortable
speaking on the matter.
“The actions of the coaches show
due diligence in investigating both
the student’s character and his be
havior during his time on proba
tion,” Frohnmayer said.
Woods will be back in court Feb.
28 to find out whether the felony
charge will be reduced. O’Leary’s
parents and Walker are expected to
speak at the hearing.
