ASUN trims funds,
suggests hiring NOVA
for day care center
' By Susanne Schafer
i A problem with defining terms has
caused a difference of opinion
between an ASUN senator and
President Ann Henry, but any way it's
d.;fi'ied, it has meant less money for
, rhe University Infant and Child Day
! C.jre Center.
ASUN no longer considers the
' center a student service, in the opinion
' of senator Doug Johnson, and he has
. :c.:tcJ a legislative flip-flop to do
something about it.
Johnson, who earlier this year
introduced a bill questioning funding
procedures of the center, has
introduced a resolution that suggests
the senate "engage in a fund-raising
activity" to help the center raise
money to hire a NOVA volunteer.
Johnson introduced the bills after
hearing testimony from Mary Jo Ryan,,
the center's project director. Ryan
appeared in October before the senate
to ask for more funds than the senate's
Budget Committee had allotted to the
center.
Her request was turned down, and
the senate granted the centei the SG50
the budget committee had
recommended as funding for the
entire year.
In 1971-72, ASUN gave the centei
S 1,000. In 1972-73, the senate
initially granted the center $1,000 and
later gave it an additional $702.
The center in previous years has
been granted funds at the beginning of
the fiscal year in a "pre-planned"
budget prepared by the ASUN
executives, according to President Ann
Henry.
This year, the center requested its
funding through the Budget
Committee, which placed (t in
com-trtion with other student groups
also askfng for fund;.,
v At this point, the question of terms
presented itself.
"In the past, the center was
considered to be a student service, and
the executives gave the center larger
amounts (of money)", Johnson said.
"This year, Ann Henry chose not
to consider the center as a service, but
as an activity. That meant the center
had to fight with the rest of the
student activities for a share of the
money the budget committee gives
out."
Not so, Henry says.
"Doug is using the two termi
(student activity and student service)
to make a distinction between two
types of organizations. To me, a
student organization or activity could
include a service."
The center does provide a service
to students, Henry conceded. But the
difference in terms does not decide the
funding, she explained.
The difference in amounts of
funding results from when the funding
is decided, she said.
ASUN executives determine at the
beginning of the fiscal year which
student services will receive what
amounts of money. Student services
are those which require "pre-planned"
project funding, Henry said.
These services require that their
budgets be set before the beginning of
the academic year so they can begin
operating immediately in the fall, she
added.
This basic outline of the costs of
student services is then included in the
budget. The book exchange and the
bicycle registration program are
examples of such pre-planned budgets,
Henry explained.
For most student organizations,
money is allocated later in the year by
the Budget Committee after
oiganiiitions file their requested
budgets, she said.
This year was the first time the
Infant and Child Day Caie Center was
not included in the "pre-planning
stage" of the budget.
"When Mary Jo Ryan presented
her request for the additional $702
last spring, I understood they would
not be asking for further funding, so I
automatically did not include them in
the pre-planned student set vices
budget, as they had been included in
previous years," Henry said.
"I told her (Ryan) that early in the
summer, and I thought it was clear to
them," Henry said.
Not so, says Ryan.
She said she did not realize that
there was any difference between the
"pre-planned" funding of ihe ASUN
executives and the funding system
through the budget committer.
Ryan said the center was not
notified that they would not receive
funds through the on-going system of
executive funding. She said sh ;
thought that this year every
organization and service hod to apply
through the Budget Committee for its
funds.
Ryan said that during a senate
meeting dealing with the budget last
spring, a parent whose children attend
the clay care center testified that if the
senate would give them additional
funds, they would not be forced to ask
for as much money in the future.
"In no way did we express to the
senate the need for a change in their
committment to us," Ryan aid
Ryan said the misunderstanding is
unfortunate hut expressed enthusiasm
for the ASUN project to raise funds
for the NOVA volunteer.
Ryan and Johnson are planning a
"keggci" to help iai..e the 5100
needed to hire the volunteer.

There are probably as many ,in-,wers
as there are individual Mary knoll
priests and Brothers. Some men are
deeply moved when ihey her of
babies dying in their mot tier's arms
because of hunger or disease. Others
are distressed by the growing t.ntag
onism and separation between the
rich and the poor njtions. More are
concerned about the gr u.it injustices
that have been inflicted upon the
poor by those who houm v, woolth
and power to an excessive degree.
Others look to learn from peoples
who have grown up with a different
mentality than that which is theirs.
All feel that the only solution to the
crises that threaten to split men
asunder is the love of God as shown
in the life of His Son, Jesus Christ.
This love of God urges men to go
forward and be missioners so men
can love one another. What could be
your reason for joining Miiyknoll?
