Despite efforts to come up with funds from outside sources, the University Board and Sports and Recreation will be unable to act on some plans to expand their programs and facilities for next year, because the Apportionment Board could not give them the funds they wanted.

The UB asked for $203,813.20 from the AB, which is funded through the student Activity Fee, for next year’s budget. But the AB allocated $189,876, almost $15,000 less than requested. Sports and Recreation also received $31,358 less than the projected budget of $179,000.

As a result of the lack of an increase they desired, both the UB and the Student Recreation Center will suffer; however, the AB said because the organizations project a higher amount than expected they are prepared to be given a smaller amount than what is asked for, Jen Fanthorpe, student vice president for financial affairs, said Thursday.

Since the budget proposals, the UB has been reallocating their spending to decide what its funds will be used for next year and what will be cut.

Among the cuts, the compensation that the 13 UB coordinators receive will be downsized from $100 to $50 per month. The compensation will not be completely cut, as it has been in the past, because the compensation is what retains students on the UB, Stephanie Skrzypek, UB chair, said Thursday.

“(It’s) at least a little something we could do,” she said.

In addition, a planned increase in the programming at 7th St. Underground will now not materialize. Instead of the two acoustic performances per month the UB wanted to fund, there will only be one per semester. Many more student acts will be hired instead of professional acts and will be paid $25 per show, instead of the previous $50, Skrzypek said.

The UB’s part in homecoming will also be downsized next year as a result of its budget. They will not longer co-sponsor the 2.5K race and it will be left up to the recreation center to put on the event.

Other UB spending for homecoming including paint for the streets, crowns for the king and queen and decorations for coronation will be slimmed down; however, Skrzypek said, not cut completely.

“(It) doesn’t mean we can’t have it, it just means we’ve got less to spend on it,” she said.

In the past, the UB has relied on co-sponsoring events in order to make them possible.

However, Skrzypek said there is only so much funds through the co-sponsorship and for alternative methods UB is trying to pair up with local businesses for sponsorship packages. But the idea is not completely stable to rely on.

“I don’t know how well that’s going to work,” she said. “We figure it’s worth a shot.”

One other idea Skrzypek said the UB may generate funds from is charging students an additional dollar for admittance to shows. The extra charge would be in addition to the fees that students already pay.

Similarly to the UB, the SRC is projecting cuts in its plans for next year. Ken Baker, director of the SRC, said Wednesday that the student workers and equipment are the two areas that will be cut.

Although no student workers will lose their job, Baker said hours will be downsized as a result of the cuts.

“We’ll miss it the most in the student worker salaries and equipment,” he said. “Hopefully, we’ll just work harder. We’re committed to these students who are counting on that paycheck.”

In addition, plans to purchase new equipment have evaporated because of the budget. However, Baker said they have outside revenue sources that will aid them for next year.

Aside from students, faculty, staff and community members must purchase memberships to use the SRC, which is ” the only stream of revenue we can control,” he said.

He said that since the SRC is the best facility in the area “that is one area we do generate funds.”

In addition to memberships, summer camps that use the SRC will remain a steady flow of funds, Baker said.

“We’ll just work a little harder, smile a little more often and still make it a pleasant place for students to come,” he said.
