Monday, giving out $100,000 to 73 groups. Seventy-six groups But the trimk does. requested a total of $224,729, about $10,000 more than the 71 groups that submitted re quests last year. The $100,000 allocation from the university, which was not increased over that of last year, was described as "not enough" by budget board chairman Tom Vozzo, who added, "the university simply did not have enough money to increase the allocation. A lot of offices were asked to give money back; we were lucky - -notiaffilve been cut back." v ozzo said-a student -a~ tivities fee "would help a great deal." A mandatory student activities fee, which was actively pursued by stu dent congresses for nearly two years, would raise over $200,000 toward student ac tivities and programing. "We funded only about one third of the requests for speakers, which are often very benficial to the universi ty." Vozzo added that groups have to cope with some ex penses this year which were free last year, such as Loudis Recital Hall, which now must be rented. The Student - Program Association (SPA), WXDR and DUSC collectively receiv ed nearly $62,000, about $4,400 less than last year. While the SPA and DUSC budgets were increased, . WXDR received $12,400 over $6,800 less than last year's allocation. Vozzo said, "Last year, the money WXDR received was for equipment needed just to keep broadcasting. This year a good part of their budget re quests were for less necessary items.'' General Manager Bill Wohl of WXDR said he has already advised DUSC President Rich \ Mroz that he "will have to ask for supplementary funds in the fall." "WXDR appreciates the job the budget board has to do with the money they get ...
