ASUO discusses plan
for groups to use surplus funds
The ASUO Student Senate Rules
Committee on Friday discussed for
mulating a process for student groups
to ask the Senate for loans from sur
plus funds.
Senate President Ben Strawn said
the Senate has given loans to student
groups before, but the process for
doing so isn't outlined in the Sen
ate's rules.
ASUO Accounting Coordinator Jen
nifer Creighton-Neiwert said there may
be some advantages to allowing student
groups to take loans out of surplus.

IT Lisa Gonzales discuss research findings
! CSWS office Wednesday. The organization
icil for Research on Women.
"I think groups would take advan
tage of that and it would help bring
down the (student incidental) fee,"
Creighton-Neiwert said.
The committee also discussed vari
ous ways of structuring rules to pre
vent student groups from profiting
from events they host while still al
lowing them to raise funds to cover
their expenses.
"I think we're trying to move toward
that, (to) where all your revenues and ex
penses match for an event," Strawn said.
Strawn said the committee could
enact a rule that would require stu
dent groups return to surplus any
profits that exceed 20 percent of the
event's expenses.
Committee members said they
would like to clarify the Senate's rules
to prohibit incidental fee-funded
groups from charging for things other
than events. Strawn said the proposed
clarifications would clearly prevent the
Student Recreation Center, for exam
ple, from charging for admission.
ASUO President Maddy Melton
asked the committee to change a rule
that requires student groups to offer
students a 20 percent discount on event
tickets. Melton said she would like to
see the discount raised to 25 percent.
"I just feel like we could strike a bet
ter balance," Melton said.
The committee also discussed giv
ing student groups enough time after
events to complete paperwork while
still adhering to Oregon Administra
tive Rules and Internal Revenue Ser
vice deadlines.

WEDDING
continued from page 1
After the ceremony, Colbert said
she saw the marriages as one step to
ward "eradicating discrimination."
She has performed various unions be
tween same-sex couples in her church
for years, but Saturday's was clearly
different.
"This is a milestone because it is the
first legal (same-sex) marriage that I've
had a chance to perform," she said.
"It's very exciting."
In many ways, Miller and Hen
drickson's wedding was nothing like
most weddings. A row of television
cameras lined one wall and a small
army of journalists took photos and
notes during and after the ceremony.
Also, Oregon American Civil Liber
ties Union Executive Director David
Fidanque delivered the opening
speech, speaking about the long polit
ical battle before Wednesday's deci
sion by Multnomah County commis
sioners to issue marriage licenses to
same-sex couples.
"Let all of us who are gathered here
today commit to provide all of the
necessary emotional and legal sup
port to ensure the success of these two
marriages," Fidanque said. "Let us
also commit to do everything possible
within the law and consistent within
the basic freedoms entwined in our
Oregon and federal constitutions, to
support all of those who have been
subjected to wrongful discrimination,
and to eradicate such practices from
our society."
After the ceremony, the couples
met in the hallway outside the room
to greet or embrace guests as they left.
Jim Weldy, who has known the
women for about eight years, stood in
line to congratulate them.
"These are great events," Weldy
said. "They love the opportunity to
make that level of commitment pub
licly. That's just special."
Kate Kelly, another friend of the
women, said they deserved to be able
to marry each other. She contrasted
their marriage against the "travesty" of
Britney Spears' marriage, in which
Spears got married in Las Vegas and had
the marriage annulled 55 hours later.
'These people have way more com
mitment and deserve to have it be
made legal," Kelly said.
Max Headley, an eight-year friend
of Miller and Hendrickson's son
Doug Hendrickson, said that mar
riage would just create a more "warm,
loving environment" in the house.
Headley said for someone who's
growing up, their household is al
ready the best environment.
"I've always thought of them as al
ways being married," he said.
