A budget oversight combined
with low movie attendance is the
reason for the cancellation of

gram Union, a programming administrator
said.
. "The Cincmatic Arts committee
was given a decision to
make," said Paul LaMantia,
associate director for programming
for the Russell House University
Union. "A deficit was beginning
to occur based upon inhouse
expenses, film costs and at4*
tendance figures were below their
** expectations. With the cuts, that
won't happen. My hope is that
there is a smaller deficit."
He said a former Cinematic
Arts committee did not include
$3,500 in their budget for the
payment of ushers. The seven
films that were cut will save the
committee the same amount in
rental fees and set-up by USC's
Technical Services.
According to Jeff Rutstein, the
new committee chairman, the
group did not realize what was
happening until too late and a
decision had to be made.
"We didn't plan our figures
around that," he said. "If we
had known about that, we
would have planned it
differently."
Rutstein said the group voted
to let him and committee
graduate assistant Kathy Krautter
decide what was to happen with
H1W 1IIUVIC).
"Basically, when we go over
budget, CPU pays for it and we
start all over next year with a new
budget," he said. "But we
weren't sure if any other committee
had gone over budget. And if
they had, our budget would be
cut next year. If one committee
falls, another can pick it up, but
if other committees fall, it's like a
domino theory. Then all of CPU
is in debt."
^ The 1985-86 budget for
Cinematic Arts included $19,198
in student activities fees and
$46,700 in predicted revenue.

so did revenue. By mid-March,
the committee had $34,770 in
revenue, leaving them $12,070 to
make up by the end of the
semester.
"We projected so much
revenue," said Jay Cooper, assistant
coordinator for CPU. "We
needed to cut things off at the
end to stop from getting in any
major problems. Rather than
face a major deficit, we chose this
route."
But history graduate student
Steven King, an usher and ticket
seller for the Russell House
Theater, said the committee
should have known sooner about
the deficit.
"I've got to go and find a job
now," he said. "It's disrupted
my exams and projects. If they
were going to do this, the decision

He agreed the attendance had
been low, but said that could be

"This thing has become very
distorted," said King, who
depends on his job to get through
school. "The basic problem is
that the people in charge are playing
at business. They're trying to
compete with commercial movie
theaters. They don't know
enough about their own
organization."
