Lancers Given Mona Kai Funding, Not Allowed to Charge for Admission After deciding on most of the proposed budgets by looking at precedents, COR members made an exception by denying the Lancer society the right to charge for admission to their annual dance. The motion was passed on the second attempt after a heated debate which left some COR members second-guessing the decision. by Janine Leigh Kramer QC News Editor The Council of Representatives set an apparent precedent by passing a motion that will not allow the Lancer Society to charge for admission to the annual Mona Kai dance. After approving several other budgets that allowed groups to charge for their events and tabling the Lancers' request to the end of the budget proposals, COR approved $6,215 for the event with the stipulation that the Lancers would not be allowed to sell tickets. With eight in favor, six against and two abstentions, COR voted to overrule the budget committee's decision to give the Lancer's a lesser amount of money and allow them to charge $5 for singles and $8 for couples and instead created the funding stipulation. "If the Lancers charged for Mona Kai as they have done in the past the $2,000 collected in admissions would be given back to COR for other programs." said sophomore Cindy Bartok, member of COR budget committee. The same motion had been proposed at the previous COR meeting which was unconstitutionally closed to the public and the press, but failed by one vote. The Council gave more money than the budget committee had allotted to make up for the loss of revenue from ticket sales. COR President JaMarr Brown said, This Lancer situation, as it currently stands, will not set aprecedent for all groups." "The Lancers never make a profit on the dance. In the past, we have given approximately $3,000 each year back to COR and we have kept all our receipts." said Mona Kai Chair, 860101° Patrick Larson, who has been a part of the event for the last three years. "When I went to the COR meeting it felt very confrontational. No actual statement of wrongdoings was made, but the whole meeting seemed to be accusatory." said Larson. "I don't feel that (the Lancer situation) was handled as professionally as possible. Personal interests will get in the way when representatives aren't sure what the students want." said sophomore David Fujimoto, COR At- Large representative. 'Ifs not so important that we charge, but it is the timing of this that upsets us. An event like Mona Kai requires long-range planning and now we have to worry about lack of space and hiring more security and how we will assure that only Whittier College students will attend the dance." said Larson. "Regardless.theLancerswill still put on the biggest Mona Kai the College has ever seen." added Larson. The COR budget committee has been in operation for the past six weeks and in that time has considered almost 35 proposals. It is chaired by COR treasurer Kory Villabrille, with Bartok and sophomore Nathan Ho as the other COR members on the committee. However, the two non-COR members who are mandated by the constitution have not been appointed yet. "The two non-COR members would have hindered the budget process because there would be a lot more discussion on the budgets and it would have taken longer." said Bartok "I would have liked to have had the two non-COR members (on budget committee), but we had time restraints. CORis definitely not complete without non- COR members and we will do our best to have them by Monday," said Brown. "We needed to get things done which is why we couldn't wait for the non-COR members. I don't feel that those members would have affected the results ofthe committee because we dis- cussedeveiythinginfull and they probably would have agreed with us." said Ho. The budget committee is working on a list of formal guidelines for budget requests. "Precedent was very strong. We looked at previous budgets.
