Senate OKs money for alternative paper
By Jay Williams
Kansan staff writer
Student Senate amended the proposed student organizations budget last night to give $1,314.96 to Disorientation, the group that publishes the alternative newspaper *Take This!*.
In budget hearings last month, the Finance Committee decided to cut all financing for the organization. The amendment was Senate's proposal and its proposed budget that was passed last night.
The total budget for fiscal year 1993 is $71,406,
the maximum Senate could allocate to main-
tenance.
Members of Disorientation who attended last night's meeting said they still were upset with the amount allocated. The group originally requested $9,600.
Chris Kromm, co-editor of Take This! said Disorientation could finance two issues with the Senate allocations.
Jason McIntosh, senior senator, presented the amendment to add funds to Disorientation after other amendments failed, including one for a 5-percent cut in all budgeted groups except for Associated Students of Kansas.
McIntosh said that giving Disorientation the $1,314.96 that had been unallocated by the Finance Committee would help keep Take This! alive while it sought other sources of money.
Patrick Dilley, graduate senator and member of the Finance Committee, said he voted against financing Disorientation because he did not think it provided a service worth a large portion of Senate-allocated money.
Students should have responsibility for the money they pay in activity fees, a member of the Coalition for Student Responsibility said.

Students should allocate fees, group says
"I believe students are intelligent enough and informed enough to make decisions about where their dollars are spent," said Ena Wheeler, Wichita freshman.

The informal group of about 25 students is trying to convince Student Senate and the two coalitions in this year's Student Senate race. Unless, Vision, to support the idea of giving students the opportunity to directly allocate where $1.5 million in student activity fees will go.
Wheeler said a committee was being formed to research the check-off idea, which would allow students to mark on a sheet which groups would receive all or a portion of each student's fees.
Wheeler and Kurt Broeckelmann, co-chairperson of the Student Senate Finance Committee and a candidate for an architecture-
ture Senate seat with Vision, will lead the research committee. The committee will have until Thanksgiving to propose a plan to Senate.
The current system requires groups to go through budget hearings in the Finance Committee. The committee makes its recommendation to Senate and then Senate votes on whether to approve the organization's budget for the next year.
Jean Winter, Unless presidential candidate, said her coalition supported a modified version of the check-off plan but not the original plan of complete allocation by students.
Large discrepancies in financing could occur from one semester to the next, and cultural groups that receive Senate financing could be hurt the most if students allocated all of the funds, she said.
Unless campaign fliers say the coalition supports a check-off plan allowing students to choose the groups they want to finance with a part of the fee. Winter said she would not commit to a specific allocation percentage.
"I agree with the basic premise that students should be able to allocate funds," she said.
She said Unless members attended a meeting of the Coalition for Student Responsibility to find out more about the plan.
No representative from the Vision coalition attended the meeting.
Lance Wright, Vision vice-presidential candidate, said Vision also supported the idea, but wanted to see what the committee decided. Vision fliers do not mention the check-off plan.
"We are committed to what that committee is doing and acting on whatever they find," Wright said.
He said the perception that the Vision coalition was against the idea because it consisted primarily of Senate members was wrong. The coalition has 10 current senators on its ticket.
"We feel we have people involved in doing things that will make this idea work," he said.
