At its Aug. l J meeting, the ISSC decided to cut awards because of an unexpected· decrease in fun­ ding, said ISSC spokesman Bob Clement. The commission requested $162.4 million to fu nd the 1986 Monetary Award Program. However, Gov. James Thompson approved only $132.l million fo r the program. ISSC Executive Director Larry Matej ka said he did not believe students would be hurt by the cutback. Matej ka said commissioners believed the loss of $25 over a nine-month period didn't seem to be that burdensome to students . "It's a decision no one likes to make," Matej ka said . "We didn't have a whole lot of choices." '' It's a decision no one likes-to make. We didn't have a whole lot of choices. -Larry Matejka ,ISSC executive director ��-'' Matejka said the cutback was necessary in order for the commission to be able to pay second semester awards and was preferable to another proposed plan RON HOLDEN I Staff photographer to move ahead the deadline for fall applications . nior marketing major Karl Roth parks his Honda Spree near Booth Library on his way to class .
