COR Allocates 54% of Requested Funds to Organizations
■ COR
by Anna Neese
QC Managing Editor
The Council of Representatives' (COR) Budget Commit-
teeallocated 54.3% of funds requested to clubs and organiza-
- tions at the meeting on Monday,
Oct. 5. [See chart, right.] A total
of $39,547.50 from a requested
total of $72,884 was granted.
Many requests were not awarded
due to incomplete funding forms.
Program Board received the
largest sum of money, $17,135,
whereas Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance and the Economics Club received no funds.
Senior Keith Fisher, COR
Treasurer and Chair of the Budget Committee, said, "Many organizations ran into trouble because they failed to register events
with the Office of Student Activities. Even though initially denied
funds, these clubs are still eligible
for funding if they reserve their
activity with Student Activities
and submit a bill to COR."
Only two clubs had their funding tabled, and that was due to the
fact that they filled out their forms
improperly," senior Student Body
President Karl Robinson said.
Thirty-six clubs submitted ap
plications for funding. Three clubs
received 100% of their requested
funds: Whittier Independent Music Productions (WIMP), Office
of Student Activities and the Multicultural Interns.
"I was very pleased with the
allocation process this year," Fisher said. "I was fortunate to have an
experienced and open-minded
budget committee. I believe that
the Student Body will be able to
recognize the efficiency and fairness of this year's budget approval."
"In the past, when we've done
this, it's been very frustrating because the clubs don't fill out their
forms completely, which prevents
them from getting the full
amount," Robinson said. "But,
this year [Fisher] put together an
information session with clubs and
went over the qualifications. Because of that, everything was filled
out really well so the process was
a little bit easier."
Nonetheless, the COR meeting lasted for four and a half hours
on Monday. The meeting lasted
until the budget was completed so
the figures could be released by
Tuesday.
The fees that were allocated
by COR are taken from Student
Body dues charged to student accounts annually.
"Sixty dollars ofthe 100 dol
lar student body dues charged to
the student accounts goes to COR
funding. The other $40 goes to
Publication Board, which funds
organizations such as the Acropolis and the Quaker Campus"
Robinson said.
"Funding also comes from
rollover from last semester, from
any money that was not used by
clubs and organizations," Robinson said. "Criteria for receiving
funding from COR includes being a recognized organization on
campus and to be a club that encompasses students who are full
time."
Organizations who have neg,.«,
ative balances from a previous '
semester are still given consideration for funding, but they receive lower priority, according
to Robinson.
Funds allocated by COR allow organizations to host events
on campus, according to Robinson and Fisher.
"COR was able to bring Poet
Laureate Robert Pinsky to this '
campus last week," Fisher said. "I
believe that the students will benefit greatly from this year's funding. It is our goal to fund events
which foster community and will
bring the student body closer together through a variety of social,
educational, and multicultural programs."
