members establish their budget for
2004-05. Each PFC member is as
signed to assist specific student groups
with budget-making.
Sherman said he would help Peter
son create a budget himself to submit
to the Senate during the summer or
fall. Because the PFC is out of session,
using money from the Senate surplus
is the ortly way to get the group any
money, he said. Also, Senate rules
prohibit groups from making re
quests this fiscal year for money to be
used next fiscal year, he said.
"I'm just waiting for (Peterson) to
get back in touch with me," Sherman
said. "Until he does, 1 can't help him
put together a budget. *
Peterson said he doesn't recall Sher
man saying he'd help the group put
together a budget, but said he wel
comes the help. Peterson said the
group will have to go through the has
sle of filing additional paperwork be
cause Andries didn't do his job by
contacting the group.
"It's going to be a mess," Peterson
said. "And it's not a mess 1 caused."
According to the ASUO Programs
Budget Packet for the 2004-05 fiscal
year, a group's PFC Tag should meet
with the group a minimum of three
times in October, November and De
cember 2003. Groups that aren't con
tacted by their Tags should call the
PFC office, the packet states.

that that Andries never contacted the
University Gaming Club to help it put
together a budget, "despite repeated
assurances otherwise at Program
Council meetings."
In an interview, Peterson said he
contacted Andries two or three times,
and Andries kept assuring him he
would call him, but never did.
"Obviously that made it hard to do
a budget," Peterson said. "If he had a
herd of elephants sitting on him,
maybe 1 could understand why I did
n't get called."
Andries dismissed the allegations,
however, calling them "unfounded."
He said he sent e-mails to the group,
attended all Program Council meet
ings and did what he could to contact
the group. He said the failure to com
municate was Peterson's fault.
"I made my best efforts to contact
people," Andries said. "I feel I did
make efforts to contact them and help
them out. You always have to remem
ber this is a two-way road. Part of their
duty as group representatives is to
make sure the/re on top of things."
Peterson said once the group failed
to put together a budget, it was sched
uled to attend a budget hearing in
which he could have protested the
loss of the group's budget. He said he
was never told about the hearing,
however, and later heard from a
friend that the group had been de
funded, citing a story in the Emerald.
Sherman said the University Gam
ing Club could have approached ei
ther ASUO Controllers or PFC mem
bers to get help putting together a
budget, but those possibilities were
not communicated to the group.
Sherman said this is the second
grievance filed against the PFC this
year.

have passed up the challenge for
another if he wanted to, but he did
n't want to let Wieden or his class
mates down.
"I don't think they would serious
ly push it to the brink, * he said.
Journalism Professor Charles Fraz
er, who is also working with the stu
dents, said while some students may
look up to Wieden, "the God" of con
temporary advertising they shouldn't
be afraid to confront him if they have
issues with the assignments.
"You don't have to do something
because Dan Wieden told you to do
it," he said.
Frazer said most of the students
realize how the assignment is meant
to help them with personal growth.
"They appreciate the sort of larg
er dimension to it," he said, adding
that finding a solution for the as
signment will give the students
more creative problem-solving skills
for the future.
Senior journalism major Josh
Finderup was assigned to draw a
crowd at a mall and get people to
clap for him. He said he was initially
surprised by the assignment, which
will be difficult for him because he
doesn't like to be in front of large
crowds, but now he realizes the
possible benefits to his future career.
"I think it's really relevant," he
said. "It's a challenge to the student
to make it meaningful and worth
something."
Senior journalism major Dan
Portrait said he was initially "pretty
freaked out" by his assignment to
convince his parents he's gay. He
said he now sees it as a chance to
be creative — a skill necessary for
the advertising industry.
"It's an opportunity to make
something great," he said. "That's
where the learning process is."
Frazer said Wieden has been
heading the creative workshop for
about 10 years, and the theme of
ten changes. A couple years ago,
students were asked to create a
communication plan for the Ro
man Catholic Church after sexual
abuse scandals erupted. In anoth
er workshop, students were asked
to apply for jobs for which they
had no qualifications. They later
learned that their interviews had
been taped by the employers who
were "in cahoots" with Wieden,
he said.
"The man's philosophy is that
insight comes from chaos, so he
shakes things up every time he's
here," Frazer said.
