Groups lose funds
due to no-shows
Six groups failed to show for
their Saturday PFC hearings,
forfeiting proposed funding
for their 200405 budgets

Colin Andries coined a mantra that
would be oft-repeated by he and
other senators at Saturday's PFC
hearing.
"No budget, no-show equals no
funds," he said.
Andries is jokingly known as the
senator who can read printed material
aloud "faster than an auctioneer on
speed." But he is also adept at sum
marizing the budgetary demise of
those groups who fail to show up for
their scheduled PFC budget hearing.
The Pre-Law Society, House of
Film, Latin American Caribbean Stu
dents Association, Model U.N., Pa
cific Wine-Law Society and the Gam
ing Club all lost their proposed
2004-05 budgets before the end of
the hearings.
PFC Chairman Adrian Gilmore
said all groups, defunded or not have
five days to appeal the PFC's decision.
During the budget hearing for the
Survival Center, a self-described
"umbrella organization" for social
activist groups, Sen. Joe Snyder re
sponded to the group's request for
additional stipend funds without a
request for additional programming
funds.
"I would rather see a request for an
increase in programming funds than
a request to put more money in your
pockets," Snyder said.
Survival Center member Nate Oester
defended the organization's reasoning.
"We can't spend as much time on
programming without the increase in
stipends," he said.
He added that each Survival Center
co-director is spending much more in
time and effort than their stipend cat
egory dictates.
"It feels different to have someone
come in and say, We want the money
over helping the groups and stu
dents,'" Andries said.
During lengthy haggling by senate
members, the executive controller
suggested that a stipend increase for
the Survival Center would be in line
with what the PFC has done for simi
lar organizations, such as OSPIRG,
which received a 14.6 percent budget
