Serving on the board was Max Lindsay, administrative representative, faculty representatives Bonnie Urlaub and Rick Counsellor and student representatives John Parris, Norm Sommerfeld and Brenden MacNeill. The Budget Review Board has distributed $22,000 since the mid-80's. At that point in time, student fees generating $22,000 were eliminated and ACC replaced them with a "non-fee, raise in tuition" structure. Student activities were supported from the general activity fund at he ..same.. lev~l of funding, $22,000. When fees were reinstated, the figure for distribution remained the same even though fees collected each semester are not the same and vary according to the number of credit hours a student takes. Until this year there was a cap on fees at 15 credit hours. Starting this fall, the cap was removed.

Clubs and organizations will have to delete planned activities to compensate for the reduced- · allocations. Responding to the possible effect of reductions to their programs are Nan Hall, advisor for ACC Players; Sonya Titus, advisor for the Lumberjack; Richard Miles, director of the intramural program and Tracy Schulke, President of Student Senate. For Nan Hall and the ACC Players, it probably means the cancellation of their touring show to area schools; for the Lumberjack, it probably means the scrapping of plans to produce two papers a month beginning in January. Both of these organizations are attempting to expand programs. Richard Miles will "run his program until the funds run out", but anticipates the elimination of open swim for all students at the Plaza Pool by second semester, the cancellation of the spring softball and hockey tournaments and the elimination of the subsidy provided for students for bowling. The Student Senate envisions cuts will effect its winter carnival in the number of activities it can provide, result in the cancellation of the video-DJ activity and affect the number of theatre discount tickets it can provide for students. President Schulke feels all planned activities "will have to be scaled down" to stay within budget. pg. 2 Snow policy pg. 3 Students speak pg. 4 Wentz joins staff pg. 5 Student election pg. 6 Recycling efforts spectacular political and in room 150 of the Charles R.
