about the Chancellor's budget at this
point to be giving the rest of the board
any recommendations and none of
the board has seen, at least to my
knowledge, the ideas the campuses
themselves are generating," he said.
larvis said he expects campus re
sponses to be different concerning the
measure's failure now that the Chan
cellor's Office will be absorbing some
of the impart.
"Obviously they are going to be re
thinking their impart given the contri
bution now from the system admin
istration," he said.

Oregon University System Councilman Ben Rawlings (left) met with other members of the
OUS to discuss methods for dealing with the failure of Measure 30.
METERS
continued from page 1A
hooded meters for staff, media and
the visiting team.
The men's basketball games have
99 hooded meters at a cost of $ 1,485
per game. The Athletics Department
receives 30 hooded meters for
disabled parking and 74 hooded me
ters for LTD buses free of charge for
each men's and women's basketball
game.
Stamm said that people using the
hooded parking meters after 4 p.m.
hasn't been a problem.
"We haven't had to tow from them
very often," he said. "Occasionally we
have had one or two."
Other than the occasional tow, DPS
has faced only a few other parking
problems during games.
"One of the things I have noticed
this year is we've run into quite a few
people who are parking at the dis
abled space hoods," Stamm said.
"Which they're not supposed to do at
any time unless they have a disabled
placard." He added that the violation
has an expensive fine.
The DPS Web site states that "im
proper parking in a space designat
ed for disabled parking" is a $300 vi
olation.
The multicolored hoods were pri
marily created for basketball games
because there are many types of as
signments, Stamm said.
He added that the hoods are put
up the night before games by stu
dent community service officers at
about 8 p.m.
"We put them up at night because
when (people) come in the morning
the space is already taken and they
know not to park there," he said.
Stamm said that students seem to
enjoy the free parking during most
ALLOCATIONS
continued from page 1A
The Student Recreation Center re
ceived the largest budget allotment, a
tentative $778,753.
The largest percentage increase — a
whopping 876.4 percent — went to
the United States Student Associa
tion, which lobbies for students' in
terests in Washington, D.C.
However, the group had been funded
at its lowest level since 1995-96. PFC
awarded the group $9,640, up from
$1,100 in 2003-04, but down from a
high of $50,223 in 2000-01 and
2001-02.
"It's not really an increase, it's tak
ing them back to the funding level
where they were before," PFC Chair
man Adrian Gilmore said. "They
could have asked for three times
that amount."
USSA originally requested $20,000
in membership dues but has agreed
to allow a few years for the increase to
occur gradually.
PFC members said they were satis
fied with the budget allocation
process this year.
"At the end of the day, we can come
out with our head held high and

smiles on our faces," Sen. Colin An
dries said. "That's a good, workable
number."
The allocations fell well short of
the $4,996,813 benchmark approved
by the Senate in November. PFC
members emphasized the bench
mark is only a guideline.
"What we did is try to be responsi
ble," Gilmore said. "And by doing
that the benchmark would take care
of itself."
Strawn said the benchmark is an
upper guideline that is better for PFC
to fall short of than exceed.
"When they come in with a bench
mark, that doesn't mean (PFC)
should fill that up," he said. "Really,
you shoot high with the benchmark
because you don't want to go outside
of it."
Barring any recalls, vetoes or last
minute appeals, PFC's budget work is
done. The allocations will next be ap
proved by the ASUO Student Senate
and Executive, then by President Dave
Frohnmayer and the Oregon Univer
sity System.

of the day. However, some students
have complained about other large
hooding reservations for special
events around campus, mostly dur
ing the day.
He added that ASUO groups that
don't charge for an event can reserve
parking meters for free, but events that
have a fee or events put on by other
departments on campus must pay for
the parking meters.
