Student leaders to tap into reserves ASG hopes to justify fee with increased spending BY ERIC JOHNSON SENIOR WRITER After years of building up a hefty budget surplus, UNC-system student leaders are planning to tap into reserve funding for the first time. The preliminary budget for the UNC-system Association of Student Governments calls for the organization to spend nearly $37,000 of its reserve as part of the largest spending plan the group has ever put forward. “We cannot be afraid to invest and allocate our money,” said incoming ASG President Cole Jones, who will assume office July 1. “We feel we have a legitimate need to use this money for the current needs of the association.” As an umbrella group of student governments across the UNC-system, the ASG takes in $1 each year from every fiill-time student enrolled in the system’s 16 public universities. As enrollment has grown, so has the association’s budget. Student officials expect to bring in about $190,000 during the 2007-08 academic year. Since the fee was initiated in 2002, the association’s leaders have ended budget cycles with a sizable sur plus. By the time incoming president Cole Jones takes office July 1, the reserve is expected to near SBO,OOO. “There has been a consistent pattern of dollars left over each year,” Jones said. “I think it’s time for us to try something different.” While there remains fierce debate within the asso ciation about the wisdom of costly new initiatives, there is also a growing recognition that the burgeon ing reserve could present a political problem. “If you can’t spend all the money you’re given in a year, then you’re not really showing need,” said Lee Hyde, the association’s departing vice president for finance. “At what point is someone going to look at it and say, Tfall don’t really need the fee’?” Within the last year, Hyde and others have actively sought a conversation about how to spend the surplus. But arriving at any agreement among the system’s 16 student body presidents has been difficult. Heated discussions are likely to break out again this year when it comes time to decide how exactly money will be allocated, since only a broad outline has been agreed. Under Jones’ plan, which was given preliminary approval by the association’s Council of Student Body Presidents, SIO,OOO would be earmarked to expand the group’s public relations efforts, and another $7,000 would be devoted to outreach pro grams aimed at high-school and middle-school stu dents throughout the state. “We would like to explore opportunities to use the media more,” Jones said, suggesting the group might consider purchasing newspaper or television SEE ASG BUDGET, PAGE 5 “To me the bottom line is that the Supreme Court has shown an increased willingness to grant schools greater power to restrict student expression in order to maintain school opera tions,” said Ruth Walden, associate dean for graduate studies at the University’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication. “And it’s not terribly surprising to see the entire society crack down on and give school adminis trators greater power to control students.” Walden said she sees the reference made to drug use as a cover for other motives and SEE BONG HITS, PAGE 5 Jan. 13,1988 Hazelwood School Dist. v.
