Senate passes revised budget

vision of ASUP Budget 1965-66

the Senate meetingThursday even¬
ing, November 18.
From the initially submitted
figure of $9,389 the budget had

ination of the $1,000 allowance for
Fasching, of $225 for the Honor
Banquet, of $115 for the Student
Union Committee and by a $770
reduction of the Cultural Com¬
mittee funds, plus other smaller
cuts.
Copies of the budget figures as
they were originally submitted,
as the Senate approved, and as the
Executive Council revised them,
were distributed immediately
prior to the meeting by Senate
President Pat Berg to be consider¬
ed and voted upon during the meet¬
ing.
Explanation and discussion of
some items on the budget was
conducted for a major part of
the meeting. Finally, the ASUP
Budget 1965-66 was passed by a
majority of those present.

Pre-registration importance
stressed for student counselling
Pre-registration for Spring se¬
mester, 1966, will begin Monday,

day, December 18. Each stu¬
dent must meet with the dean of

mine the student’s courses.
Academic vice-president, Rev.
Michael G. O’Brien, CSC,
This weekend the University of
Portland will host its second An¬
nual Invitational Speech Tourna¬
ment. One-hundred thirty
students from colleges in Oregon,
Washington, California and Idaho
will participate in individual as
well as team events.
Individual events include ora¬
tory, an eight- minute persuasion
speech on a comtemporary topic;
impromptu speaking, extempo¬
raneous speaking and interpre¬
tive reading. Seventy debate
teams will debate the national
debate topic for 1966 — Resolved;
that law enforcement agencies in
the United States should be given
greater freedom in the investi¬
gation and prosecution of crime.
Several events will be held in
front of various classes. In this
way, it is hoped that each student
can become more aware of. the
part that forensics plays in giving
members of the university a
broader look at some of the na¬
tional and international problems.
Several members of the UP
faculty will aid in judging the
events, debate coach Paul Mel-
huist said.
stresses the importance of pre¬
registration in regard to academ¬
ic counselling. "It is at this
time of pre-registration that the
student will receive that academ¬
ic counselling which is so im¬
portant in his over-all program.
Such counselling is essential for
students who wish to take special

All students are invited to at¬

torium debate headquarters.
classes, for transfer students,
and for those with irregular
schedules. Because it is im¬
possible to carry out this kind
of academic counselling at the
regular registration period, all
the academic deans insist upon
this pre- registration period of
counselling.”
Fr. O’Brien has also announced
that final registration will take
place on Wednesday and Thurs¬
day, January 26-27. The pro¬
cedure this year will follow an
alphabetical grouping in which stu¬

Linda Schwalger reported on
The Extra-Cocurricular
Committee which is working on
recommendations for Service-
Communications Director, Health
Service, a guide to Portland events,
and a student taxi service. The
Reapportionment Committee,
headed by Lucia Miltenberger, has
written other schools to discover
different representational sys¬
tems.
An amendment concerning ASUP
secretary appointment was moved
by John Hetschan, voted upon and
passed. The motion involves
appointment by the officers of the
secretaries of the respective
offices so that they will receive
$250 per semester but no vote in
the ASUP Senate, ICC, Executive
Council or Cabinet.
NEW BUSINESS began with the
presentation by John Metschan of
an amendment to change the
election date to February. Old
officers would serve as an ad¬
visory body to the new officers
for the remainder of the academic
year. But the amendment was re¬
ferred back to the Student Body
Committee for further con¬
sideration.
A motion was passed in favor
of the "circulation of a petition
under the auspices of the ASUP”
supporting Viet Nam policy and
disapproval of draft card burning.
The meeting came to close just
after J. Jay Lowery, BEACON
editor, addressed the Senate on
Senate coverage in the BEACON.
He explained the purpose in terms
of bringing the Senate to the stu¬
dent body and encouraged senators
to disagree with the coverage.
During the Senate meeting
held last evening in the Pilot
House Lounge, the Senator^
considered an amended motion
on the date of student body
elections. Ted Michaud and
Pat Barrett submitted a re¬
port on the BEACON. In
order to coincide with the
BEACON deadline, the Senate
also considered changing the
time of their meetings.
Plans underway to present
Glen Yarborough on campus
Glen Yarborough is coming to
the University of Portland cam¬
pus January 8, 1966.
This good news came out of the
eighth meeting of the ICC, No¬
vember 23, 1965. The ICC de¬
cided to underwrite half of the
$2500 required and the adminis¬
tration promised to underwrite
the other half. A total of $1,395
was pledged by the clubs and by
last Monday $339 (over the 20
per cent of the pledges required)
had been turned into the ASUP
treasurer’s office. The rest will
be turned in by January 6.
Tickets are to be sold through
the clubs so that the cost of
advertising can be reduced. Be¬
cause of fire regulations for
Howard Hall only 1350 seats will
be available. The price will proba¬
bly be $2.50 and $3.00 depending
on how close to the stage the
seat will be. Tickets will be
sold on campus at least one week
before they are sold to the rest
of the community.
Profits will be returned to the
clubs in proportion to the amount
each originally contributed.
ICC presidentTom Caruso hopes
that this venture will be a great
success and set a precedent for
bringing big names to the cam¬
pus in the future. Tom empha¬
sized that, though plans are still
tentative, the enthusiastic re¬
sponse of theclubs assures they’ re
being carried out.
