Fees Panel Starts Budget Hearings
By Ray Gronberg
Carolina Journal News Editor
The Student Activity Fees Com
mission held its preliminary budget
hearings last week, hearing the spen
ding proposals of the University Pro
gram Board, the campus media and
student government.
The total of the requests came to
$263,876. The amount available for
allocation, based on projected
1981-82 enrollment, has hot been
estimated yet. It will probably be less
than the amount requested by the
three organizational branches, so the
hearings began to determine what re ¬
quests will be cut.
Of the total, UPB is asking for the
largest chunk, $106,225 for its opera
tions next year, plus $4000 to im
prove the Jam Up site and $4500 to
replace funds for summer programm
ing that had to be diverted to help
pay for Jam Up.

in the air as the UNCC
Jazz Ensemble perform
ed in front of the Reese
Building.

Charles Simms, UPB chair, says
the capital outlay request for the Jam
Up site is necessary because“a lot of
bands won’t play there.”
He listed the priorities for work on
the site to include landscaping on the
hill overlooking the stage and the ad
dition of sound wings, to stack large
pieces of outdoor concert equipment
on.
The addition of a covering for the
stage is further down the road,
Simms said. Not having a cover
makes the site a less-than-desirable
place for bands to play. Also, he said
there is a need for a lighting system
there, so events could be held at
night.
Simms asked the commission to
give UPB an additional $4500,
because, he said, the budgets ear
marked for summer and new student
orientation programming were spent
on Jam Up.
UPB was supposed to cosponsor
the event with the Residence Hall
Association, but conflicts lead to a
situation where “there was no way in
the world we could program this to
gether.”
UPB therefore had to pick up all of
the costs itself, resulting in the
budget overrun.
