Rempel reads to letter The letter below, signed by wenw-four students, was pre- sented to President A. M. Rem- lel Tuesday by Steve Joseph, XSEOC president. Dr. Rempel vas visited by a Beacon repor- er Wednesday, who asked him or his reaction to the letter. It came as a surprise, he said. because I had hoped be- bre we got into the issues re- attng to the Incidental fee, to neet with the Senate and indi- :ate to themthenatureofthe zew policies adopted by the Bo- lrd on January 25. At such time I was also going to describe the procedures that we have used iurlng the past two years in the allocation of the incidental fee.

Ac- cording to Board guidelines, the smdents do have control of that portion of the incidental fee wh- ich we refer to as ASB funds. However, they do not have final conh'ol of the other two parts - the student union and the ath- letic funds. I would like also to point out that in order to vote on bud- gets, a great deal of time needs to be spent ln studying them and becoming completely familiar with them and the needs. the bud- Xef 15 d0Si8I1ed in meet. In talldng about how the St- ate Board of Higher Education would react to the proposed me- asures, Rempel said that the bo- ard has certain policies regard- ing the allocation of fees. The president of the institution has the responsibility to make the final recommendation. They do, however, want student involve- ment. They're leaving it up to each institutional wexecutive to work it out with the students how this can best be done. Of course, with or without the let- ter I had every intention of ln- volving students now, as in the past, only more so. He cited as an example ol previous participation the ASB president and business mana- ger' s working on the preparation of the educational activities budget and the athletic budget. Rempel said he would expect any student who took on the responsibility of working with budget preparation to take the job seriously and to be prepar- ed U0 Spend a great deal or time in the process. Possibly a commime could be aPD0lnted by the senate, to work with the president and then we'l1 start to develop the bud- 8913- Ultimately, we'll seek a concensus that can be support- ed. He also pointed out that one needs to distinguish between ixr volvement and control. When it comes to the ASBpartofthe budget, me students areally do have control. When it comes to the student union budget and atb- letic budgets, I need a lot of stu- dent input, but in keeping com- mitments that we have already made well into the future, I can- not be placed in the position of having others make the final decision. However, this does not mean that there cannot be very meaningful student involvement and influence in the development of these budgets.
