Budgets show homogeneity...
continued from page 1
Wiess College operates with one
of the smaller budgets: $11,300.
Even though the social committee
budget was raised by $400 dollars
this year, Wiess still spends the
least of any college, only $2,700.
Second on their budget by amount
of money goes to their film series
— $2,000, followed by college
night with $1,400, and permanent
improvements and off-campus
subsidies with $1,100 each.
Brown College plans to spend
some $14,845 this year, budgeting
$4,000 to their social fund, which
also covers college night. Their
permanent improvement supply
stands at $2,500, up $1,500 over
last year; a $2,000 surplus in the
washing machine fund provided
the money for permanent
improvements and $500 ear-
marked specifically for T.G.s. The
film program at Brown gets $ 1,300
and the off-campus students have
$800 of subsidy.
Baker College will pay out to
committees by far the largest
amount of the eight, with a total
budget of $22,600. $4,250 of that
money goes to the social
committee, which, instead of
throwing one large all-school
party, doles out their money as
matching funds for small parties
throughout the year. The annual
Shakespeare play takes $2,500 for
scripts, costumes, the stage, and
lighting. The accompanying fair
cost the college $ 1,500. but both of
these items return almost as much
money as they cost, returning
$4,000 to their budget. Permanent
improvements cost $1,780, off-
campus subsidies $1,600, and
college night $1,000.

Lovett College sets two different
rates for their fall and winter
college nights. The fall budget is
allocated $600 while the winter is
given $1,575. Capital improve-
ments are being stressed this year
with a $2,000 bonus into the
properties fund bringing the total
to $4,280. Off-campus allocations
are $1,193, cultural are $2,280,
academic are $1,900, and Lyle's is
$800. The school-wide Casino
Night Party in the spring is
budgeted with funds for smaller
floor parties held throughout the
year. The social budget, thus, is set
at $4,875. Lovett's total budget,
the second highest of the colleges,
reaches $17,503.
Jones College has the smallest
budget at $10,195. $3,000 is spent
for social activities with an extra
$1000 set aside for the fall all-
school party. College night is
allocated $2,100, but this fund also
includes the budget for smaller
parties. A special services
committee that handles capital
improvement is budgeted at $400.
The committee has, though, in the
past two years received about
$2,000 from revenue gained by
renting out Jones to summer
students. This year, the extra
money will be spent to pay for the
new commons furniture.
Will Rice budget has not been
finalized yet but some "good
guidelines" have been set. A total
budget is now set at about $ 13,000.
The breakdown, although
tentative, gives $3,000 to social
functions including college night,
$2,300 to capital improvements,
and to cultural activities $2,000.
Allocations for off-campus
subsidies have regularly run around
$1,700, but college treasurer
Beverly McKinney expects that
amount to increase because of
food price inflation.
Sid Richardson College has by
far the most detailed budget. The
$14,245 total budget is broken
down into fifteen categories. The
cultural budget, including funds
for the college nights, is set at
$3,300. The budgets for academic
activities is set at $80, for associate
funds at $160, for awards and gifts
at $600, for beer/bike at $500, for
external uses at $100, for general
administration at $650, for meal
subsidies (a budget used until
depleted) at $1,300, and for
permanent improvements at
$2,100. Properties allowances are
set at $420, bulletin publicity funds
at $20, sports at $200, unforeseen

allowances at $300, and
unbudgeted funds at $675. Finally,
$3,850 are set aside for social
events including cookouts, the

Country and Western dance.

university for a replacement. The-
committee will consider outside
candidates only if an "adequate"
replacement from within the
university is not found. But, said
Poindexter, the possibility of
selecting an outside candidate is
"less likely to happen."
Poindexter, who said she pulled
herself out of contention, also said
that she does not favor any one
candidate. But she noted that each
candidate has at least one
supporter on the committee. "This
is good," she continued, "because it
helps bring out things that should
be looked at with each of the
candidates."

and importance.
Thigpen, who was proud of his
college's response to the problem,
was critical of the Wiess method to
deter rowdiness by placing
monetary fines on such actions.
"We don't want to be a police, like
a Nazi," he also stated some
dissatisfaction with the reason for
Holmes' resignation. Said
Thigpen, "If you want the job to
win popularity, it's not going to
happen."
Jones Chief Justice Annette
Crabb said that while Jones has
not had many problems with
rowdiness, the court and council
are discussing possible deterrents.
She noted the establishment of
fines as one penalty discussed.
Sid Richardson Chief Justice
Peter Taggart agreed with Thigpen
that stricter rules were not
explicitly necessary to make the
systems work. "In each of the
colleges, especially in Sid Rich, the
machinery and rules were there;
they just weren't being enforced."
Taggart said that SRC President
Bruce Deskin made a dinner
announcement insuring college
members that the court would
enforce college rules in the future.
The results, Taggart said, have been
satisfactory.
Baker Chief Justice Tim Leight
said that his court was not
planning any different steps to deal
with rowdiness. "We really don't
have a problem with rowdiness at
Baker. Any time things get rowdy,
I go out there and tell them to settle
down."
