PFC increases
budget for OMSA,
cuts Asklepiads
At PFC's Jan. 15 meeting,
the Panhellenic Council
received a 7.08 increase,
the largest of the evening
By Athanasios Fkiaras
Freelance Reporter
The ASUO Programs Finance
Committee met again Jan. 15 for the
five-hour process of increasing, de
creasing and discontinuing student
group budgets.
Kicking off the evening was a 5.9
percent increase to $4,923 for the
Oregon Marine Student Association,
an off-campus branch of the Univer
sity' s Oregon Institute of Marine Biol
ogy, located in Charleston.
"I'm really happy with the in
crease," OMSA member Jule
Schultz said. "It's going to help us
participate in campus activities to a
greater degree."
Schultz said he expects graduate
enrollment in the program to dou
ble and undergraduate student en
rollment to increase from 50 to
about 100.
The ASUO Student Senate received
a 1.33 percent decrease because of
poor budget itemization, but it does
have the option of reworking its
budget and appealing the decision.
"We can't fund everyone at the level
that they want," PFC Chairman Adri
an Gilmore said. "We fund to the best
of our ability. It's not everything, but
it gives you something to work with."
University Mentor Program
Director Sydney Ledford asked for a
budget decrease. Although the pro
gram is growing, per-person wages
have decreased as new hires entered
and an $8,000 surplus ensued. The
PFC praised the group's budget item
ization and promptly granted them a
6.3 percent decrease.
The University Women's Center
closed at a budget of $141,714,
though this was not quite the increase
the organization asked for. The group
strives to increase awareness about
partner violence, bring about social
change and gender equality, and or
ganize events in the community for
women and men who want to partici
pate. Program Director Lisa Foisy
wanted the budget increase to cover
climbing mailing costs. However, she
said she was not wholeheartedly dis
appointed with the results.
"I trusted the process," Foisy said.
"They worked hard at understanding
our numbers, and they were fair."
Other developments included an
increase for the Men's Center budget
to $6,662; The Panhellenic Council
received a 7.08 percent increase for a
total budget of $11,022; unallocated
reserves stayed at $ 10,000 with no in
crease; The Oregon Commentator
closed at $ 15,502 with a 2.89 percent
increase; The Student Insurgent got a
6.1 percent increase for a total of
$15,502; and the Oregon Asklepiads
did not receive any funding at all be
cause they failed to show up.

on this day."
Dr. Edwin Coleman, a retired Uni
versity English professor, has participat
ed in dvil-rights marches for 25 years.
"We continue to do these marches
to remind people that our lives are de
pendent on how we treat one another
as human beings and as citizens,"
Coleman said.
Northwest Christian College
senior KyriAnne Watkins shared
similar sentiments.
"I really want to express that all
people are equal, and not just in radal
issues ... (but) in every aspect of life,"
Watkins said.
Henry Lavert, vice president of the lo
cal NAACP chapter; spoke optimistically
about the future, but added that there is
still more to be done to create a more
racially equal society.
"We can see progress in ... the fu
ture generations where we can see the
possibilities for a much more positive
community," he said. This march "is
just to let people remember what
Martin Luther King Day is about and
not let people get too comfortable in
the way things are and look to make
change for the better," he said.
Lane County Commissioner and
NAACP board member Bobby Green
Sr. said there are social changes that
need to occur.
"People need to listen more — lis
ten to each other — so that people
will feel heard and won't be so quick
to judge people," he said.
