are using allocated funds, Creighton-Neiwert said.
"Now (the) Senate has the ability to easily identify
where the funds are going," Creighton-Neiwert said.
Because the majority of student-group funding comes
from the incidental fees, Creighton-Neiwert said it is im
portant to ensure that groups price event tickets and activ
ities at appropriate rates for how much incidental-fee
funding is used.
With budgets more finely parsed, it will now be possi
ble to examine how much revenue an event generates
versus how much a group spends on the event,
Creighton-Neiwert said.
"It's a better way of looking at an event and seeing what
we should charge for tickets," Creighton-Neiwert said.
The Senate will no longer hear budget transfer requests,
Creighton-Neiwert said. Rather, groups will request from
the Senate a "release of funds" from one of the five areas of
their budget to another or from Senate surplus.
The only problem officials have had with the new sys
tem has been explaining it to student groups, ASUO Con
troller Christina Diss said.
How the system operates has not been put into writing,
making the task of explaining the system to student groups
difficult, Diss said.
"There isn't any language in the Senate rules about the
new accounting system," Diss said.
Diss and fellow ASUO Controllers Carie Henderson
and Rosie Sweetman are responsible for ensuring student
groups understand the new system and are following it.
This has been difficult without written documentation,
but not impossible, Diss said.
"Hopefully (the Senate Rules Committee) will meet
before their deadline in the fall and pass the new rules,"
she said.
Creighton-Neiwert said officials have anticipated these
difficulties.
"Any time you make a change or go through a transition
it's going to be difficult because there's a new system to
learn," she said.
Because the system was only recently instituted,
Creighton-Neiwert said it is too early to evaluate its effec
tiveness, but she said is confident that student groups will
be able to make the adjustment.
ASUO Women's Center Office Coordinator Lori Brown
shared this confidence.
"1 think (senators) are constantly asking themselves
how they can ensure student groups are using student fees
responsibly and in a way that is really meeting the stu
dents' needs," Brown said.
Though the new system may mean that groups have less
freedom in how they spend certain funds, Brown said the
fiscally responsible "spirit" behind it is commendable.
"It's definitely going to hold us to a higher level of ac
countability," she said.

the concept. Once the program was
up and running, the reaction was
very positive.
Columbia University in New York
has a Living Learning Center, al
though it is somewhat different
from the University's design. Co
lumbia's LLC does not have class
rooms; instead, students attend and
initiate different educational pro
gramming each month.
"It's student-initiated and student
driven," said Julie Beemsten, assistant
director of the dean of student affairs
at Columbia University.
Future residents must go through
an application process to get in to Co
lumbia's LLC, Beernsten said.
"It's very sought-after and increas
ing in popularity," she said, adding
that there are 260 upperclassmen
spots in the LLC and between 500
and 600 apply.
Beernsten said there are fewer dis
ciplinary incidents in the LLC, and
ideas about what programs to partic
ipate in are initiated by students.
But she said some would not opt
to live in the LLC because it's too
academic and the program require
ments are not for every student.
Eyster believes the University's
LLC's only problem is that it will be
"so popular that people are going to
want me to build (more LLCs) faster
than I can build them," he said.
ASUO PresidentAdam Petkun
thinks mixing residence hall life
with learning "could be exciting,"
adding that the University has a
need for new housing.
"It's a thrill to be a part of (the LLC)
and to know that students will benefit
for the next 50 years," Eyster said.

ore go n Ticket Release Dates
Students enrolled for Fall 2004 classes AND paying student incidental fees can pick up
one ticket for each game at the ticket offices located in the EMU or at the Len Casanova
Center.* Student tickets are funded by the ADFC through student incidental fees.
Only 2,500 tickets will be available for the Indiana game - so students should act quickly.
6,100 tickets will be available for the remaining games. Any remaining student tickets will
become available to students for purchase for their friends and family (maximum of four
tickets) beginning Wednesday during the week of the home football game.
*On first day of distribution for each game, tickets will be distributed from the South Ticket building at Autzen Stadium instead of the Casanova Center.
