ASC Considers Record Budget Tuesday Night
By Fred Frailev
A record $8,300 budget will be considered by the All Student Council tomorrow night in a special meeting.
The Budget Committee of the ASC released recommendations this week-end, granting funds to nine of the twelve organizations that applied.
A special appropriation of $1,150 from the University boosted ASC receipts to $8,300. The council's normal appropriations come from a percentage of student activity fee receipts, which this year amounted to $7,150. The extra allotment was requested because of the large amount of funds applied for by campus organizations.
EVEN WITH the added $1,150, all but two organization's requests were cut, and three groups were struck from the Budget Committee's recommendations.
The largest request to be turned down was a $450 application from the Association of University Residence Halls. The AUR requested the money for the purchase of a music system, and records, and for advertising, bands and publicity to be used for the "Whatchamacallit" dances it sponsors.
Charles Portwood, Shawnee Mission senior and ASC treasurer, said last night that although the council is authorized to grant funds to the AURH, the Budget Committee felt that financing of "Whatchamacallits" should be left to those who attend the dances.
"FRATERNITIES are also social organizations, and if we were to grant this request, we would set a precedent that would lead to fraternities asking for money also." Portwood said. "Greek social organizations do not ask the ASC to finance their functions."
Also left out of Budget Committee recommendations were the KU delegation to the National Conference on Race and Religion, which asked $325, and the junior class, which requested $50.
None of the groups turned down were granted ASC funds last year.
Portwood said the race and religion conference is "completely divorced from any type of student government," and that the request from the junior class was for coverage of general expenses.
"The normal procedure on class debts is to hold them on the books until the senior year, when they are paid by senior dues," he said.
OF THE TOTAL budget, $2,000 was granted by the University as a special appropriation to People-to-People. Expenses of the ASC as outlined by the Budget Committee will reach $3,583, including $1,200 to conduct elections, leaving $2,717 for disbursement among other organizations.
The groups besides P-t-P submitting applications asked a total of $5,524, or twice the amount available.
Only the Current Events Committee, asking $1,000, and the Business School Council, asking $198, were granted their total requests by the committee.
Other recommendations include:
Engineering School Council, $400 of a $753.08 request. Alpha Phi Omega,
service fraternity, $180 of a $248.61 request. Mortar Board, $180 of a
$212.25 request. Radio Production
Center, $400 of a $979.38 request.
American Pharmaceutical Association,
$200 of a $570 request. Student
Bar Association, $159 of a $725 request.
