IN BRIEF
Disasters may cut into
Sept. 11 donations
WASHINGTON — With the na
tion’s attention and charitable giving
focused on Hurricane Katrina and
other disasters, it could be more diffi
cult for fund-raisers to collect the
half-billion dollars needed to build
memorials at each Sept. 11 crash site.
Fund-raisers for the memorials
planned at the World Tirade Center
site in New York City, the Pentagon
and near Shanksville, Pa., say they
are optimistic they will succeed,
but it might take a little longer than
planned.
Out of respect for Katrina
victims, efforts to raise money for
the World Trade Center and Penta
gon memorials were held up on
the fourth anniversary of the Sept.
11, 2001, terrorist attacks, even
though it was a good time to get
people to donate.
So far, more than $100 million of
the $500 million for the World TYade
Center site has been raised, along
with $9 million of the $18 million
needed for the Pentagon memorial.
Fund raising for the Flight 93 memo
rial in Pennsylvania is in its infancy.

KWYA: Deadline extended for radio station
Continued from page 1
10.4 percent. KWVA would add an
extra $65,000.
The increases are so dramatic,
EMU Director of Student Activities
Gregg Lobisser said, because the Uni
versity didn’t know until about Sep
tember that the two-year salary
freezes had been defrosted.
“The figures related to classified
salary increases were not made pub
lic probably until nearly Sept. 1, and
none of that was available earlier in
the year,” when KWVA and the EMU
had been speculating about a trans
fer, Lobisser said.
The EMU Board and the Senate ex
tended the deadline by four hours in
an effort to reduce the budget enough
to fit KWVA in.
The EMU Board decided that it was
too soon to endorse the EMU Budget
Committee’s proposal of adding
KWVA as an EMU-funded program
because the current budget exceeds
the increase limit.
EMU Director Dusty Miller asked
for more time, up to two weeks, to
rework the budget.
“Our challenge is to look at these,
go back, and in our best efforts, come
back to you with what we can do to
change these numbers,” Miller said
Wednesday. The board will probably
grant KWVA’s entry into the EMU
budget if Miller can get the bench
mark increase below 7 percent.
“A lot of us thought it might be a
good idea” to approve the KWVA on
Wednesday, “but we just wanted
some more information to back it
up,” said EMU Budget Committee
Chair Heidi Zlatek.
The EMU Board will now hold
two back-to-back meetings after the
four-hour extension was granted at
Wednesday’s meeting. One meeting
will consist of discussions over the
EMU benchmark. The second meet
ing will consist of a vote to add or
deny KWVA status as an EMU-fund
ed program. The decision and budg
et will still be presented on time to
Student Senate on Nov. 2, but some
EMU Board members question if
enough time has been allotted.
EMU Board member Miles Rost,
the only one to vote against the
four-hour extension, said the deci
sion needs to be taken seriously and
investigated thoroughly, and four
hours is not enough time for such
an investigation.
“If we cannot get the adequate
time to be able to do something cor
rectly and get it done with correctly,
we’re going to have errors down the
road three, four, five years,” Rost said.
“It’s going to be a problem. It’s going
to be a mess.”
The EMU board took the advice
of Stephanie Erickson, Senate pres
ident and EMU Board member, af
ter she said it’s “dangerous to post
pone the benchmark due dates”
because it could push the Senate’s
benchmark hearing back into Dead
Week if the ASUO Executive vetoes
the proposal.
The Student Senate must have
benchmarks for each major program
complete by Nov. 30. Senate will still
vote on the proposal on Nov. 9.
