From On Drugs Inc., a nonprofit crisis Details of fee clear up By LISA HAARLANDER Collegian Staff Writer The Activity Fee Implementation Committee met Friday and Satur day behind closed doors to discuss how to use and distribute the rev enue from the $25 student activity fee. The fee will be implemented Fall Semester 1996. A topic the committee struggled with was how to allocate the money, said Undergraduate Stu dent Government President Kara Annechini. The committee has not determined how to allocate the funds for the next year or two, but the members did agree on how to manage the money in the long term. The committee proposed that a 21-member committee manage the ctivity fee money and the $500,000 the Student Organization Budget Committee currently receives from the University, said committee member Pat Scanlan. About 75 percent of the members would be appointed and 25 percent elected. The committee will also have two nonvoting advisers. Currently, SOBC allocates funds for student organizations and pro grams. The 12 members and chair person are appointed from student groups such as USG. The committee did not decide on SOBC's role next semester, but it will exist in some form, said J. Thomas Eakin, assistant vice presi dent for student affairs. "This structure is not going to be fully implemented until the fall of 1997 or 1998," Annechini said. "We're hoping '97, but it's going to take an entire year to get this off the ground . . . We don't even have a name for it yet." At the Commonwealth Campus es, a committee of seven students, two faculty and one administrator may appropriate the funds. The meeting last weekend was closed because the members were tossing many ideas around that could have been misinterpreted, Eakin said. "There were times at which it could easily be misinterpreted what people said," he said. "We did n't want to run the risk of students and others getting a misimpres sion."

The latest poll from Arizona, which holds its primary tomorrow, indicates that Steve Forbes and U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., who have been battling for first place in the state, now hold only a slim lead over Buchanan. Richard Herrera, assistant pro fessor of political science at Ari zona State University, said that of the candidates in the race for the Arizona primary, Dole has the strongest organization in the state. Forbes has been running most of the television advertising in the state, Herrera said. Buchanan has also run some ads, but not as many as Forbes, and Dole has chosen to run few ads on the air, he said. Herrera said that the economy is likely to be the biggest issue for voters in Arizona, but that social issues will also have some impact, and with Sen. Phil Gramm, R- Texas, dropping out of the race, some of the conservative support he had built around those issues may go to Buchanan. Herrera said the Arizona prima ry will provide a glimpse of what may happen in other western states. Charles Dunn, professor of polit ical science at Clemson University in South Carolina, said that no recent polls have been conducted in the state, but that he believes Buchanan may be gaining some ground. The South Carolina prima ry will take place March 2. Dunn said Dole has the strongest organization in South Carolina, but Buchanan's may be strengthening. "Buchanan has a very strong fol lowing. He doesn't have the strength of organization that Dole has, but it could soon turn into a more potent organization," Dunn said. He also said former Tennessee Please see ELECTIONS, Page 7.
