The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Tfansgender Education and Support Services Project requested $2,000 to partially fund the cost of taking stu dents to the annual Creating Change conference. For the past three years, the group has requested surplus mon ey from the ASUO Student Senate in order to help fund the trip. PFC budgeted $250 for the director’s conference travel and $2,000 for stu dent travel. The approved budget to taled $21,651, which is a 15.1 percent increase from last year. The East Campus Neighborhood Tenants’ Council requested money: $23 in office supplies and printing as well as $277 for lawn care equipment to allow tenants in the east campus neighborhood to maintain their lawns as per the terms of their leases. PFC member Mason Quiroz raised concerns that using incidental fee money to buy equipment for a first year group may not be appropriate. Quiroz suggested that ECNTC ask the Senate for surplus money for the lawn care equipment, and PFC voted to table the budget until other funding options had been explored. ASUO Legal Services requested an increase in order to pay for additional insurance that the University now re quires of all contract workers. PFC ap proved a budget totaling $206,490, which is an 8.5 percent increase from last year. The ASUO Executive recom mended a $13 dollar decrease to the Chess Club’s budget because of a history of not spending its entire budget. Director Sara Hamilton argued that spending would be dif ferent this year because the club re cently joined a league requiring the club to host a tournament. PFC voted to fully fund the Chess Club, approving a $16 increase from last year for a budget total of $79. Associated Students for Historic Preservation requested funds for subscriptions to professional jour nals, the publication of its own jour nal and registration fees for the Na tional TYust conference. However, because ASHP has never attended the conference before and has no specific plans to attend after next year, PFC was reluctant to fund a line item for the conference. Instead of funding the conference, PFC voted to fund two issues of the so ciety’s journal. Several PFC members urged ASHP to appeal to the Senate for surplus funds to attend the conference. The total approved budget for ASHP was $1,032, a 9.2 percent decrease from last year. The Center for the Advancement of Sustainable Living requested a $1,600 budget. Controller Rosie Sweetman urged PFC to stick to the Executive Recommendation model, which could allocate a maximum of $325 to such a relatively new group. Quiroz moved to table the budget because he didn’t want PFC members to make a complicated decision while they were tired. The UO Literary Society request ed the exact budget it received last year. The $5,519 budget was quickly approved. PFC approved $7,563 budget for the American Advertising Federation Ad Club/Ad Team. This represents a 5.3 percent increase from last year. Also, PFC voted to defund four groups that had not submitted budget requests. gabebradley@dailyemerald. com Israel: Killing sparks analysis regarding army's behavior Continued from page 5 commandoes committed “no ethical or moral mistakes” but did not ex plain how Dobie died. Dobie’s killing had sparked a wave of soul-searching about army behav ior during more than four years of fighting with the Palestinians, as hu man rights groups said rules for use of deadly force are fuzzy and the army is reluctant to investigate the deaths of Palestinian civilians. Israel considers Abbas a moderate and a pragmatist because of his pre vious statements against Palestinian violence. After endorsing the “right of return” for Palestinian refugees and their de scendants — a deal-breaker for Israel — and identifying with militants in de fiance of an Israeli and U.S. demand that he dismantle violent groups, Ab bas on Thesday introduced another po tential obstacle to a peace accord. Addressing supporters in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Abbas said a peace accord “must get approval in a Palestinian referendum, both here in the homeland and abroad in the ex ile,” granting a veto to millions of Palestinians who do not live in the West Bank and Gaza. Earlier, in Gaza, Abbas came close to the fighting, with two loud explo sions going off as he was about to visit hospitalized survivors of the shelling. The military said Palestinians were apparently firing homemade rockets at the time. Palestinian security offi cials said the explosions were Israeli tank shells fired in response to the Palestinian rockets. The Israeli military insisted it was informed by Palestinian liaison officers that six of the seven were 17 and older, and that four or five of them were members of the militant group Hamas.
