hearings lively Establishing a Democratic Society. Doug Bcrger (Dist. 1) urged other members of SEEDS to "stick together against the conservatives (on the CGO." Marshall Mills (Dist. 15), of SEEDS, said, "The $500 across-the-board alloca tions are an expression to these groups that we want to help out, but we have to base our allocations on the benefits students are going to receive for their money; special-interest groups simply are not as deserving of funding as groups that benefit a larger section of the student body." ' .' ' The Carolina Gay Association received $828; the Carolina Indian Circle, $1,185, although severai CGC members pointed out that these could be treated as special interest groups. "There is no consistency here about looking or not looking at groups in dividually," Rebel Cole (Dist. 3) said. "Look at the Association of Women Students and North Carolina Student Legislature both have about 50 or so members, and AWS received $2,785 and NCSL got $600." Wyatt Closs (Dist. 10), said he felt much of the allocating had been "ir responsible and totally subjective." Ron Everett (Dist. 13), said, "We real ly need to look at groups individually. There seems to be an undermining of the two-week budget process conducted by the Finance Committee by calling for these across the board allocations." Joe D'Amico, a member of NCSL, said his group could not operate with less than $2,000. The group was allocated $600. D'Amico added that NCSL would now be open only to students who could afford it, rather than to all students. "We have been funded by Student mm aura C ....

"Stu dent Government is sending out a bad message by essentially stopping funding of such an excellent organization." Bill Barlow (Dist. 4), said he realized the worth of such an organization, but he said Student Government simply couldn't afford to do the funding. "NCSL does not give a large, return to the student body, and we have to look at how much the organizations benefit the entire stu dent body," he said. A question was raised by Peter Doyle (Dist. 12) concerning the Association of Women Students' political nature. "From what I know of the group, they have a tendency to espouse philosophies that are a particular' view of certain women and not the view of the majority of women on campus," he said. . Berger disagreed. "It shouldn't be a question of the views of a group when ' comes to funding," he said. Mcve already funded groups, like the Carolina Committee on Central America (CCCA), which take positions. The question should be on the value of the educational programs the group offers." The CCCA was appropriated $279 more than the $201 proposed by the Finance Committee. John Reed (Dist. 6), who voted in favor of the addition, cited the educational timeliness of the group's programs. Cole said funding of the group would be challenged in the Student Supreme Court. The question of stipends or scholar ships prompted much debate during the hearing.

"I think the scholar ships are a general luxury item," he said. "Groups should look out for the interests of the entire campus rather than their own pocketbooks." The Residence Hall Association presi dent stipend was first cut to $450 and later amended back to $600. RHA had originally asked for an $800 stipend. "Every stipend has already been cut (in reference to the $600 allocation proposed by the Finance Committee) as tight as possible," said Tim Newman (Dist. 11), who chaired most of the Finance Com mittee hearings, "The RHA president must be here during the summer because of his connections with the administra tion and his obligation to protect the in terests of all on-campus students. This prevents him from obtaining a summer job." He said $600 wasn-'t "too much for the tremendous amount of time the job requires," Parker said it wouid be a travesty to cut the RHA stipend. "We can't make the position open only to those who can af ford to do it, rather than whoever is best qualified" he said. Reed said, "I think it is wrong that we are giving some individuals as much or more than a number of entire groups. We should devise a system whereby the money is given to those individuals strict ly on evidence of need." The student body treasurer stipend, originally budgeted at $1,200, was set at 450, and the student body president sti pend was kept at the full $1,600. The Finance Committee had proposed that trie president's stipend be $1,200. The CGC debated whether it could constitutionally alter the president's sti pend because of a law in the Student My ImIIsIAsJJSIs y r r f I ( i r r t v t i r A ft .A ' ft 4rt "-li-V-"1 fHilfi'!, j!L: . - ........J' OFF IMJL RSI i i . ...

A proposal to completely cut the Yack did not pass. Greg Smith, Phoenix editor, said the, CGC allocation would force the Phoenix to publish only once every two weeks. Such a printing schedule would hurt the paper's ability to solicit advertisers and would increase the cost of typesetting. Smith said. "The Phoenix will be work ing on a bare-bones budget and will have to be very wise with their funds if they are going to make it next year," he said.

The money that reverts would be added to the $26,(XX) that is now in the general reserve. That figure plus the $22,000 expected back from STV next year should .put the general reserve over the $40,000 limit, he said. If the CGC interprets the $40,000 limit as applying to all the money in the general reserve, then it can only appropriate whatever is over that limit, Robertson said.
