COR Allocates Fall Budget, Many Vague Funding Requests Denied Fall Funding Requests ■ FINANCES by Adam Pava QC Editor-In-Cbief Whittier's student Council of Representatives (COR) Budget Committee approved the allocation of funds for student organizations last week. The committee allocated only 66.01 % of the total amount requested, primarily because organizations were not specific enough in their funding submissions. [Please see table at right.] "The main criteria that we looked at was whether or not the clubs followed the specific guidelines that we outlined, such as providing specific dates for their events and giving breakdowns for what the money will be used for," COR Treasurer Lisa Rollins said. "Everything reasonable with dates got funded." "We took it on a case by case basis," Budget Committee member Renae Waestman said. According to Rollins, more money was available this year because of the student fee increase from $88 to $100 per student. "The main criteria that we looked at was whether or not the clubs followed the specific guidelines that we outlined, such as providing specific dates for their events and giving breakdowns for what the money will be used for." — Lisa Rollins, COR Treasurer However, only 60% of this money is used for student organizations; the other 40% is designated for Publications Board, which finances the Quaker Campus student newspaper, Acropolis yearbook, KWTR radio station, and Literary Review. The Budget Committee consists of junior Billy Pierro and seniors Chris Mueller, Jaime Wemett, Waestman and Rollins. While 10 of the organizations received 100% of the funding they asked for, some clubs were given a very low percentage, such as Alpha Psi Omega (13.64%) and the Black Student Union (BSU) (4.17%). "A lot of things that BSU requested couldn't be funded because they didn't have specific dates for their events—even though they had some excellent ideas," Wemett said. "There was definitely a lot more initiative [than in years past], in creating ideas for club events," Rollins said. "Unfortunately, we couldn't fund some of them at this point. Of course, all clubs are entitled to an appeal if they want to submit a bill." Student organizations can submit bills to COR any time throughout the year for funding of events that were not covered during this allotment. "However, we tend to not fund things after the event," Rollins said. "We want clubs to plan ahead so they won't be left in a bind if we don't fund them." Typically, if an organization submits a bill to COR two weeks prior to an event, it will be discussed at the following COR meeting and referred to the Budget Committee for funding.

The proposal will be presented to College faculty at the faculty meeting later this month. If accepted it will go to the Transition/Implementation Committee, which will outline how the changes will affect current students. The new curriculum could be in effect as early as next year. The committee has been working on the revision process for nearly three years. The proposal includes the addition of another writing course, a reduction in the number of required pairs, incorporating more science classes,the introduction of a creative and kinesthetic requirement, dropping the experiential requirement and including an Individual in a Social Context requirement. The increase in the number of writing units was agreed on by faculty members as a good step, according to Professor of Political Science Mike McBride. The current science requirement, one year of a Laboratory Science, may be changed, requiring students to take a semester in Introductory Lab Science and the semester-long course, Science and Math in Context. This course will involve analysis of current issues, focusing on student interaction and the enhancment of computer skills. 'As far as the sciences go, one semester of lab science followed by science in context is a big improvement," Swift said. The introduction of a Creative Arts Requirement is structured so that students will not study art to fulfill the requirement, but create it. This area can be satisfied through visual art, creative writing, music, theater, and dance. The Kinesthetic Performance Requirement is grounded in exercises that will teach physical fitness and wellness This section must be fulfilled with two one-credit courses. The first course will emphasize fitness and wellness for life; the second course will focus on student participation. The committee has proposed dropping the experiential requirement, which currently requires students to take four units of experiential courses. The Individual in Social Context requirement will replace the drop. This section can be satisfied by taking a least two units from a list of specified courses. "This curriculum is basically in the same spirit as the old curriculum," Professor of History Dick Archer said. The committee's goal in revising the curriculum was "to come up with guidelines that would be inclusive of the college community, that would preserve the best elements of the current curriculum, include technology and bring creative arts and physical education into the mainstream," McBride said. "[This curriculum will] give faculty a more balanced teaching load and should be more user friendly for students." The members of the Summer Curriculum Committee included McBride, Archer, Swift, Associate Professor of Business Administration Mary Finan, Professor of Sociology and Anthropology Les Howard, Professor of Mathematics Fritz Smith and Geiger who headed the Committee fortwo years priorto McBride.
