Budget
Continued from page 1
called a misinformation cam
paign by The Battalion, and the
Graduate Student Council,
which passed a resolution urg
ing a no-vote on the fee
increase.
“(Fee opponents) were not
interested in an honest discus
sion of the issue, but in misrep
resenting what we were trying
to do,” Corrington said.
Among the projects that
would have been funded by
increasing the fee from $78 per
semester to $88 was a $4 mil
lion doubling of the size of the
weight and fitness room in the
Rec Center, a $5 million expan
sion of Penberthy Intramural
Sports Center, and pay raises
for the department’s student
workers.
Unlike past fee proposals, in
which the department spent as
much as $2,000 for campaign
ing, this year only $500 was set
aside to promote the fee,
although the department also
devoted some of its regular
advertisement buys in The
Battalion to promoting the fee,
Corrington said.
Corrington said he will bring
the fee increase to a referendum
next year.
“We need to raise the fee or
seriously cut back on services,”
Corrington said.
The department is already
dipping into its $5 million
reserve fund to cover budget
shortfalls, Corrington said.
Cutbacks are likely next year,
he said, although no budget
decisions have been made.
Erin Eckhart, election com
missioner for the Student
Government Association, said
the only other defeat of a fee
increase in the past 10 years
was in 1996, when students
rejected a hike in the University
Center fee.
Germany with veto power-
contend that inspections should
be strengthened. France. Ru
and China called Monday
Iraq to comply fully with (lie
demands of U.N. weapons
inspectors to avoid war.
The United States still does
n’t have the nine “yes” votes
needed to adopt the resolution,
according to supporters and
opponents of the measure. And
even if it gets the nine votes,
France and Russia have not
ruled out using their vetoes.
China is considered unlikelyto
veto the measure though
could abstain.
But diplomats said the
United States is refusing to
compromise.
President Bush believes thal
previous U.N. resolutions
already give the United States
authority to attack Iraq. If the
council rejects the U.S.-backed
draft. Bush has said he is pre
pared to tight with a coalition
of willing nations.
