Allocations Appeals

About 60 people attended in order to
appeal cuts in their organization's
allocation, or to protest the funds
received by certain groups. The groups
appealing cuts were the Glee Blue, The
Virginia Law Review, The Pep Band, and
Madison Hall. Students appeared to
protest grants for The Students for a
Democratic Society, The Virginia Weekly,
and The Virginia Research Institute.

The ordinary process for an allocation
of funds includes a preliminary hearing of
the Organizations and Publications
Committee, with the entire Council deciding
upon the committee's recommendations and
acting upon appeals. The O&P Committee is
composed of nine Council members. No
recommendation was made on the $700 request
of the Charlottesville Draft Resistance group,
pending action by the Council as a whole,
because the committee was unsure as to
whether organized resistance of the Selective
Service System should be financed by student
funds.
