This past week, Sen. Aimee Black proposed an amen< ment to do away with percentage-funded organizatioi altogether. The focal point of the debate has been ov< whether percentage-funded organizations are fair an V 'whether they should be treated like other studei organizations. "Percentage-funded organizations are going to g their money no matter what ? whether we think wh they're spending it on is good or not," Sen. Stanley Dav said. An amendment was also passed that said if the Sena voted to abolish percentage funding, then the legislatic wouldn't go through until the fiscal year 1989. Sen. Black's amendment passed the Senate by a narro margin. However, when it came time to vote on tl original finance bill itself, the Senate vote was tied, at the bill failed by decision of the chair. The Finance Cor I mittec, as well as any other Senate member, now has tl opportunity to reconsider the bill and bring it back up f ( reconsideration by the Senate. I "The way it (percentage funding) was designed was } ^-^ensure that four organizations would be assured of a ct I " tain amount of money right from the top . . . and that exactly why I make the argument that it is unfair," Sc Stanley Davis said. Sen. Davis also argued that the Financc Commit! j should be given the same authority over all organizatio and that it should "determine how much money should j spent on specific projects." In support of percentage-funded organizations, St Steve McHlveen presented the Senate with several rCasc why he thinks percentage funding is fair. First, percenta funding allows these organizations to make long-tei plans and to use their money more efficiently. It ai allows them a wide range of fluctuation from year to y< so they can effectively plan their capital expenditures. ^ ' Perhaos the most important reason for oercentaue fi ding, Sen. Mcfclveen said, is I hat the four organization! supports, Student Media, CPU, Student Government a sports clubs, provide campuswide services and affeel i greater number of students. ft ^r''';^4M>#& H ,"' IUMihh ; ; BM m J^S^B H'* *W^'K*B3llB I SHa ' ' ;' lm i Ml I Js^5? $ u I ^03 MASS* ,? jKfliT- , If* mWWff ,vt>/^ '^B ;-f v.' ; * .-.. > .

Question: What is your reaction to Bush's third-place finish in Iowa behind Bob Dole and Pat Robertson? Answer: Well, obviously we would have liked to have come in first. There's no question about it. However, the demographics of the state were not working in our favor. Q: I understand that Bush ii leading in New Hampshire. A: Yes. Q: Do you think that this is more indicative of a national trend than the preferences of the voters of Iowa? A: Yes. Our feeling is that the polls in Iowa reflected Kit ufoc a uninttA ctafp TK/>rA \uf*m cAmp nrnhlpmc there economically, and President Reagan is not really popular out there. Whereas in a state like New Hampshire or down here in South Carolina, we'll do a lot better as a result of our close affiliation with Reagan. Q: What is Bush's stand on federal student loans? A: Don't know, don't know what it is on student loans. I'll tell you one thing, though, that education, generally speaking, is something that 1 wish the media would pay more attention to some of the specific ideas that my dad has proposed. One specific idea being set up is tax-free educational bonds at a young age, which would give tax preference to parents so that they can plan for their kids' educations. That is probably the most innovative idea that has come out of this campaign as far as tuition is concerned. Q: Where else does Bush think that higher education needs to he improved, and how does he plan to do it? A: Well, it begins with the family more that) anything else. It would be presumptuous of my dad to come out as president and have an imperial presidency that stresses that we can solve all the educational problems. It starts with the family. It's a matter of emphasis as far as he is concerned . . . and trying to encourage people to think in terms of education versus just focusing on economic issues.
