Budgetary P ro cess Revealed by Brian Todd T h e process o f bud geting a club or group is com p licated at best, but when changes occur in the process, it b ecom es an alm ost im possible task. T hat w as the case last year w hen the S tu dents’ S ociety in com in g-executive, headed by Bruce H ick s, decided to stick strictly to the A pril 29th deadline for club budget su bm ission. T his deadline, in previous years, had n o t been adhered to for a num ber o f reason s, including the fact that the deadline w as at the end o f exam s and the beginning o f sum m er vacation . T his year’s execu tive, elected in A pril, 1983, decided to adhere strictly to the rules o f S tu dents’ Society b ecause, as V .P . F in ance P aul Reilly put it. “ n ot sticking to the rules cost last year’s execu tive a lot o f m o n e y .” If som e rules are to be en forced , the E xecu tive decided that all the rules had to be enforced. T he process o f creating a budget starts in the spring o f every year when the subsequent year’s executive is selected for each club or group. T he finan cial o fficer o f each grou p receives a budget sheet from the S tu dents’ S o ciety . A lso available is a b ook let describing the preparation o f a budget along with other details ab ou t club finan ces, and Jon S h ifm an , S tu dents’ S ociety C om ptroller, is also available for con su ltation ab out the prospective budget. O nce the budgets are draw n up by the clubs and received by the S tu dents’ S ociety, S hifm an and V .P . F inance, in this case, P aul R eilly, m eet w ith the
clubs to review their program m ing as w ell as to discuss rules and regulations. A final allocation is agreed to by all parties and then sent to the Joint M anagem ent C om m ittee (J .M .C .) T he Joint M anagem ent C om m ittee is an um brella organ ization m ade up o f Student C oun cillors, m em bers o f the E xecu tive, S h ifm an and represen tatives o f the U niveristy A dm inistra tion and the D ean o f Students. It is designed to oversee b udgets. O nce it has m ade any m o d ifica tio n in the budgets w hich it deem s necessary,
it recom m ends that S tu dents’ C oun cil approve the budget. This year, large num ber o f clubs did not subm it their budget on tim e. A s a result, the budgets w ere n ot considered by the J .M .C . S om e o f these clubs claim that they were inform ed by Front D esk personnel at the S tu dents’ Society o ffic e last A pril that there w ould be no p r o b le m w ith la t e s u b m is s io n s . W hether this grace period w as actually m en tion ed has not yet been verified by S tu dents’ S ociety em p loyees. G roups that lost their fun din gs this
year did not lo se their room s or their status as recognized clubs. They m ay also apply next year for funding. As» w ell, S tu dents’ S ociety has tried to help th o se clubs w ho have not received fun ding by finding other sources o f funds. T he C am era C lu b, T he Caribbean Students A sso cia tio n , The Interna tional Students A sso cia tio n and the M ature Students A sso cia tio n have all been helped to discover new w ays o f raising funds.

A m o n g the prizes given aw ay were a w hitew ater rafting trip for 8, a w eekend for 2 at C hâteau C ham plain, and a w eekend for 2 in N ew Y ork. A liso n Fripp co ordinated volunteers for the drive, as w ell as for F riday’s dance, and Satur d ay’s tw o show ing o f T o o ts ie . T hese events were w ell-attended b y students.

Perhaps it is the

Budget from page 1... forced ou t o f activity due to a lack o f fun ds, reports Jon Shifm an. C onsideration s are under w ay to distribute a revised buget sheet that will feature an easy to fo llo w fill-in-theblank form at. A s w ell, advertisem ents ab ou t the finan cial-consultan t services available b oth in the form o f the C o m ptroller and the budget preparation guide are being considered for next vear. In addition to m aking d ecision s on club b ud gets, the J .M .C ., this sum m er w as faced w ith the prospect o f cutting over $10,000 from its ow n budget. T h ey decided to close the U niversity Centre on M on d ay and T uesday nights, based on clubs u sage o f the building in the past. This led to pro blem s b oth with W o m en ’s U n io n and P layers’ Theatre, w h o had already planned events for T uesday nights. B oth o f these problem s arose ou t o f a
lack o f com m un ication betw een the groups involved and the J .M .C . In the future it is hoped that groups, alon g with their budget prop osal w ill provide an ou tline o f their basic g o a ls, pro gram s and h ours, as w ell as having a financial o fficer on hand in the su m mer to m ake d ecision s. M eetings are being held for interest groups, both fun ded and n on -fu n d ed (w h o applied for fun ds), on O ctober 19 and for n on -fu n d ed clubs w ho did not apply for fun ds on N ovem ber 2 to discuss grievances and future co n siderations in order to sm ooth ou t the budgeting process. It appears that co m m u n ication is the greatest ob stacle left at this p o in t. In com in g financial o fficers have to be aw are o f the resources available to them to help create their budget and get it in on tim e and o n the other hand, S tu dents’ S ociety m ust be aw are o f the needs o f the diverse clubs and groups that it recognizes.

“ How To Be A Great Writer” How To Be A Great Writer, based o n the w orks o f C harles B ukow ski and a p lay by H enry C hinaski, will be at the Centaur until O ctober 16. I preview ed the play W ed n esd ay last; what I saw con flicted w ith w hat I ex pected. A fat, balding, bearded, un w ashed and repulsive m an, our hero fou n d his w ay in to a single room set, sitting at his typew riter, surrounded by beer and w hiskey b ottles, an over flow ing ashtray, lon g-forgotten fo o d , broken dow n furniture, dirty cloth es, and m any balled-up pieces o f paper — the sign o f a great writer. I slum ped in m y seat, assured o f disapp oin tm en t, but intent on preserving m y ob jectivi
w orld around him . A s a destitute writer and struggling artist, w e see the w orld through his eyes w ith a clarity that occasion ally devices co m fo rt. Bythe play’s end, yo u find yo u rself laughing at his pain yet sym pathizing and understanding it as w ell. Y ou feel his sense o f iso la tio n and lon eliness but in turn believe in his u ndying h opes. M ina E. M ina, in his portrayal o f C hinaski, and as an accom plished film and television , presents to view ers and en tirely b eliev a b le and d e lig h tfu l character. H is role is deligh tfu l — especially w hen he “ d ances” to the sounds o f Joh nn y P ia n o , the only other character on stage.

I am ab solutely appalled by the incon sid eration o f a select, undem ocratic few w ho seem to have n oth in g better to do w ith their tim e, op in io n s and resources than to spray-paint ridiculous political and social rhetoric on the w alls o f our venerable in stitu tion . C ontrary to the very principles o f dem ocracy to w hich w e ascribe, our w alls have b ecom e “ totalitarian ” (rem iniscent o f C aesarian R om e) in their on e sided exp ression . Indeed, our w alls are u nfairly biased! M cG ill h as been p la g u e d by id e o lo g ic al a n d p a rtis a n d ia rrh e a . L a st y ea r, it w as th e sta te o f Israel a n d th e Jew ish p eo p le b e a rin g th e b r u n t o f a sp ra y -p a in t c a m p aig n ; n o w , d is a rm a m e n t a n d fem in ist cau ses seem to b e p ro m in e n t.

S h o u ld we en c o u ra g e a so ciety w here th e sp ra y -p a in t ca n is as re g u la r a fix a tio n in o u r d aily lives as h o u se keys are? T o these queries, I respond by saying that w e m ust n ot perm it racial or political bias w ithou t appropriate rebuttal tim e and space, and I, for o n e, am n ot prepared to carry a can o f fluorescen t orange around w ith m e as I g o ab out m y daily routine. D estroying the beauty o f a building to achieve w hatever g oal is a n a lo g o u s to taking five steps backw ard to gain o n e step fow ard. I w ou ld like to add that change is still m ost effectiv ely m ade at the b allot b ox or in num bers. Spray-painters are generally a part o f a frustrated m inority w ho tend on ly to add heat to th e fire o f p ub lic d isapproval o f their cau ses. Instead o f gaining respect for their o p in io n s, “ artists” on ly in fu riate th o se w ho understand respon sibility and citizen sh ip. A s an alternative to spray-painting, both The McGill Daily and this publication o ffe r varying degrees o f space for an ou tlet o f view s. W h y n ot use your brains and your student p ub lication s, and refrain from the barbarism o f d efacin g our beautiful cam pus? The FINAL WORD: if I’m n ot m istaken, I believe I saw a slogan painted on the ro a d b a rrie r on D octeu r P en field that read to this effect: “ R apists sh ould have their balls cut o f f . ” T h e spray-painting o f a building is indeed a form o f rape. The suggested punishm ent w ould be both desirable and effectiv e.

T he final score w as a 0-0 tie, largely due to M cG ill’s, strong d efen siv e lin e. T hree tim es M cG ill w as able to get the ball out o f their ow n end zo n e, and back to centre field w here they r e g a in e d co n tro l over C h a m p la in . T h ro u g h o u t the gam e the scrum w orked as a solid unit and gave the backs the d efen sive support they needed to d o som e excellent ball pass ing.
