Student Senate allots limited resources
by Kyle Olund
This year does not differ
from past years for the Student Senate in that the administration granted them an
allotment of money to use for
the upcoming school year.
However, the amount does differ. This year's budget is
$11,850, down $700 from last
year. Student Senate has to
distribute that money in a
way lhal will, hopefully,
please everyone.
To do that, Student Senate
divides the money into two
separate accounts. One of the
accounts, containing $3,000,
is for senate activities, and
the other, containing the remainder of the funds, is the
Sludent Senate's general account.
Half of Ihe senate activities
account ($1500) is strictly designated for special clubs and
organizations within the
school. Nine groups responded
to applications, which were
sent out at ihe beginning of
the school year, in hopes of
receiving financial support.
Student Senate Treasurer
Laurie Ott says that the money
is "primarily a seed" that helps
the groups get started.
Included in the application
are questions concerning the
group's reasons for needing
money, how the use of the
money will benefit the student body, and other possible
sources of income. With these
things in mind, the Student
Senate makes its decision as
to how much each group will
get.
The following groups are
requesting money: Peace and
Justice Committee; SMP;
Campus Crusade for Christ;
Bethel Business Association;
Sigma Zeta; Film Forum;
Women's Soccer Club; Men's
Volleyball Club; and Bethel
Ski Club. Ott says that requests exceed actual available
funds. She says, "We're trying
to be fair," but quickly adds
that it's not the easiest thing
to do. This past Wednesday,
the Sludent Senate met to
make their final decisions as
to how much money goes to
each organization and club.
The other half of the senate
activities fund is set aside for
the student body as a whole.
If during Ihe year some group
arises which needs financial
support and will benefit the
student body, money will be
given at lhat time.
The Studenl Senate's general account is used to pay
various regular payments. It
pays for the salaries of Student Senate's president, vice
president, secretary, and treasurer, as well as the Roster
staff and the Clarion staff.
This account is also used to
pay phone bills, travel expenses, and other operating
expenses.
The hardest thing about
budgeting the money is attempting to be as fair as possible. Student Senate is going
to propose to the administration that its budget be increased by $1500 for next
year. According to Ott, this
would greatly increase the
Senate's ability to fund various groups and projects.
Johnson and Lidstrom:
"in exhibition"
of artists channeling ideas into
art work. "The whole idea is
experimental in nature," said
Roosa. "The artists don't have
their pieces planned, calculated, and organized. It's part of    *ee page 5
the piece." Roosa feels that
students can learn from observing the artists during this
process. He said, "Most stu-
by Kathe Stoner
Nol many arl shows open
with blank, untouched canvases and plan to close with
completed abstract paintings;
this one does. The show that
is in process now (Nov. 3-21)
in the Eugene Johnson Art
Gallery exhibits not only art
work, but also artists in the
process of creating art.
The artists "in exhibition"
are David Abel Johnson, a
former instructor of art at
Bethel, and Paul Lidstrom,
class of '74. Their collaborative efforts will produce about
4 to 6 large-scale, approximately 6 x 10 foot paintings,
one of which will become part
of Bethel's permanent art col
lection. In their past collaborative efforts, Johnson and Lidstrom created a set of drawings currently on display outside the gallery.
Professor George Robinson
calls the show a "learning exhibition" where anyone can
learn-from watching artists
working and asking questions.
Instructor of Art, Wayne
Roosa, agrees. He said, "Those
who are not artists themselves
can get a sense that art is
made by people like themselves. It gives a sense that art
is daily work, requiring cooperation."
The unstructured nature of
the show enables sludents to
observe the creative process
Johnson and Lidstrom prepare for exhibit.

Notes
Senate  Kills  Bill   to  Enforce
Women's Rights on Campus
The Senate has junked a bill to
strengthen Title IX of the Higher
Education Amendments of 1974.
Title IX prohibits colleges getting federal funds from discriminating on the basis of gender.
The U.S. Supreme Court last
spring ruled in the Grove City
College case that Title IX applies
only to the campus programs
directly getting federal funds.
Nixon, Ford and Carter applied
Title IX to whole campuses, but
Reagan supported narrowing its
scope.
The Senate bill would have
broadened Title IX's application
to entire campuses.
