Reagan protest Continued from Page I lifestyles . for the counter culture. Participation was not mandatory, he saiiiL and the Free University does not take any responsibility for the gxriitkal implications of the protest "Reagan is a hypocrite," said Kurtenbach. "He supports military dictatorships where they serve American purposes, like South Vietnam and Greece, He compared Thieu's election to George Washington's. "And then he says we're fighting for freedom by trying to destroy other military dictatorships." - Protesters also cited Reagan's cut-backs on welfare, mental hospitals and universities as reasons for opposition. Carl Curtis, said Kurtenbach, is merely a yes-man for this type of double standard and corruption. Curtis and Reagan had their supporters, too. Six determined Young; Americans for Freedom were in front, of the Coliseum, carrying signs supporting capital punishment and "victory over the campus cong." And inside the building, nearly 2,000 people applauded as the Wesleyan Swing Choir sang "Yankee Doodle," "You're a Grand Old Flag," and excerpts from the Declaration of Independence.

The Board of Regents' by-laws require all student organization money to be deposited with Student Activities, but until 1970 no attempt was made to return to students the interest gained by investing the money. Wirtz said. In 1970, a Student Activities review committee comprised of the executive dean of student affairs. University comptroller and coordinator of Student Activities, approved the use of interest gained from the previous year for programs operated by students. By 1971, Student Activities had $6,800 interest to give to student programs. The review committee, aided by the Council on Student Life Standing Committee on Organizations, has spent over $3,000 for programs, including the Time-Out Conference, student travel and a tenant rights booklet. However, the problem was to decide which programs sponsored by students are really of benefit to all students, Wirtz said He said ha will ask the review committee in the future to use the mcney to hire supporting staff for Student Activities, which would mean batter service for all organizations. Wirtz said he also would like the money used to support programs funded and coordinated by Student Activities, such as summer orientation and student volunteers. No attempt has been made to return to each organization its share of the interest. Since all the funds from student organizations are invested in a lump sum, it would have been difficult , to determine how much interest belongs to each organization, according to Miles Tommeraasen, University comptroller. The interest was being reinvested every year, he said, since the University wasn't able to spend it for anything other than Student Activities. Student Activities has a bank account separate from other University funds because it's never been determined whether they're technically state funds, he added. - University- regulations prevent an organization from investing its funds in a bank, Wirtz said, but Student Activities will invest money for an organizatioa However, the organization must be willing to invest at least $200 and plan to keep the money idle for a longer period than most of them can afford, he explained.
