I CGC committee chops already smaller 'Yack request Tuesday, April 19, 1977 The Daily Tar Heel 3 By LESLIE SCISM Staff Writer The Campus Governing Council (CGC) Finance I Xtud A GPSF Ugcl 1 y Service 9 I - 3V 'v 1 V.WXYC I SCAU WksA Xjb0000 I CPA 1. I I Other 24 ' SG23 Distribution of 1977-78 CGC Budget Committee's budget recommendations for the 1977-78 academic year are similar to the recommendations of last year, but the Yackety Yack received a major cut. The Yack received $9,568 in 1976-77 but was recommended to receive only $4,000 in 1977-78. "We asked for $2,000 less to begin with and still got cut, said Yack editor George Bacso. The recommendations, the result of more than three weeks of budget hearings, will be presented to the CGC for approval at 7 p.m. today in Room 202-204 of the Carolina Union. The committee doled out $142,871 to more than 35 organizations this year, after trimming $74,894 from budget requests. Less money was handled this year because of a student-approved constitutional amendment that automatically granted 16 per cent of student fees to the Daily Tar Heel. The recommendations of last year offered $ 1 86,694 in funding to 46 organizations, but $43,544 went to the DTH. The recommendations came after a $1 1 1,000 cut from the budgets originally proposed by the clubs. The reduction in the Yack's appropriation reflects the presence of graduate students on the committee because most graduate students do not feel the Yack benefits them, former Finance Committee chairperson Barry Smith said. He said graduate organizations fared better than last year, because of three graduates on the committee this year. The Graduate and Professional Student Federation (GPSF) received a recommendation for $19,000 as compared to $18,500 last year. The Carolina Quarterly, which is operated by graduate students, received a $500 increase also, whereas the Cellar Door, an undergraduate publication, received a recommendation for a $400 decrease. GPSF petitioned last week for an amendment that would make the organization financially independent of CGC, but the petition was invalidated because it had not been validated by the elections board chairperson before it was circulated. The amendment requested a fixed percentage of the CGG budget and was similar to one passed in February giving the DTH 16 per cent of student fees. Student activity fees are $9 per semester for undergraduate students and $7 for graduate and professional students. One third of the fees goes directly to he Carolina Union and, as of this year, 16 per cent of the DTH. The remaining 50.7 percent goes to the CGC. According to J.B. Kelly, a CGC representative from District 11, the increases and decreases in budget recommendations reflect no trends. "The budget usually reflects the attitude of the committee,' he said. The amount of money the Finance Committee allocates has stayed the same since 1957, while the number and size of organizations it must fund has grown, according to Phil Searcy, chairperson of the Finance Committee. Annual budget recommendations go to CGC for okay By MERTON VANCE Staff Writer When the Campus Governing Council (CGC) starts considering the annual budget, its members start getting a lot of phone calls from friends and opponents. Every year, a behind-the-scenes lobbying effort goes on as members of various student organizations try to bend the ear of a CGC member to get that member to introduce an amendment to increase the funding for the group. This usually is not difficult to'do because one does not have to look far to find CGC members who are or have been affiliated with other student organizations that want a share of the money collected from student fees.

Others leave their telephones off the hook after the calls start coming in late at night. The CGC Finance Committee already has held hearings with the student organizations and heard the requests from the groups. The committee's recommended budget goes to the full CGC tonight for approval. The budget . requests from almost all the groups have been cut by the Finance Committee, but the full CGC still can amend the budget. Because this is the last chance to get more money, the representatives of the groups are lobbying to have budget cuts restored. All of this lobbying is likely to produce some spirited debate at the meeting tonight as CGC members introduce amendment proposals. The finance committee met Monday afternoon with CGC Speaker Gordon Cureton to discuss strategy for tonight. There likely will be a motion to cut out all funding for the Carolina Gay Association and the Residence Housing Association. There also is likely to be a move to cut funding for the Victory Village Day Care Center, where many married Aieitua, vtw& tsxLUhl French Haute Cuisine Mon.-Sat.. Dinner 6:30-10:00 Mon.-Fri..

The finance committee also anticipates amendments calling for budget increases for the executive branch of Student Government, WXYCThe Yackety Yack, the Cellar Door, the Association for Women Students, the Student Consumer Action Union, the summer YM YWCA. the Sports Club Council and the Black Student Movement. There also will likely be an amendment to cut part of the funds for the Graduate and Professional Students Federation. Finance Committee chairperson Phil Searcy said he does not foresee any major changes between the Finance Committee's proposals and the final budget. But that will not stop people from asking for more. The fact remains, however, that there is not enough money to go around to meet all of the requests. This problem is becoming more acute, CGC members say, because the amount of money collected from student fees has not increased since 1957, while the number and size of student organizations have been increasing and inflation has cut into the funds.

Black Student Movement (BSM) Chairperson Byron Horton said his group was displeased with its $7,650 recommendation. He said the item most upsetting to the group was the cut to the newspaper Black Ink, giving it $700 less than last year. Horton also said that there were two separate trimming sessions to the BSM request and that BSM members had been aware of only one of those sessions. He said it was during the second session, unattended by BSM members, that Black Ink received its cut. ' He said. BSM members plan to attend the CGC meeting tonight, when the proposed budget will be presented for confirmation.

Ted Kyle, 1978 Yack editor, said that without the salaries for ad salesmen, the yearbook would suffer a revenue loss that would require either a higher-priced or a smaller-sized book. WXYC, the student radio station, has one of the most heavily cut budgets, with a $20,769 initial request and a $5,951 recommendation. But Marcia Keeth, program director, explained that the station will receive an additional $7,000 for FM construction from the general surplus.
