SJS allots club money

By Gabriel Flynn

The Joint Funding Board (JFB) of SJU/CSB convened for its annual allocations committee meeting Sept. 24, moving for tougher auditing procedures and more money in the Special Requests Fund. In addition, the committee allocated less funds this year to student clubs and organizations than last.

The JFB allocated $5,493 less than last year. Last year's allocations totalled $90,420 while this year's came to $84,927, a six percent decrease.

The JFB receives money from the St. John's

Senate (SJS) and the Student Administrative Board (SAB), who receive their money from the $60 activity fee paid by students from both campuses. The JFB received $52,000 from both the SAB and the SJS for a total of $104,000. Of this $5,000 went directly to the intercam-pus weekend bus service and $1,300 went to sponsor Jazz Week. The remaining $97,700 was used for allocations to about 73 inter-campus clubs and organizations.

$64,600 was allocated to the five major JFB

JEC founded on cooperation

By Michael James Cronin

Cooperation is the key of not only the relationship between SJU and CSB but between the members of one of the schools' major student governing bodies—the Joint Events Council (JEC).

Founded in 1978, the JEC strives to "provide for and insure that cultural and social events are proportionately funded and coordinated by the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University'' (Preamble of the JEC Constitution).

In fact, Roman Paur, OSB, SJU vice president of student affairs, called the JEC "the keystone of cooperation between SJU and CSB"

Janihe Thull, SJU/CSB director of student activities, is the advisor of the JEC.' "The group is fantastic. They're diverse, full of energy, motivated and creative," Thull said.

Thull added that the leadership of co-chairpersons Paul Johnston and Jeannette Witham have contributed to the success of this year's council. "Having some veteran members provides for stability," she said.

The JEC is composed of 16 members, divided equally between SJU and CSB students. Four of the members are representatives of the CSB Student Administrative Board and St. John's Senate, and the remaining 12 members are appointed through an interview process.

One of the keys to the sense of JEC cooperation is communication. Ingrid Anderson, OSB, CSB vice president of student development, referred to the JEC goal of the fostering of communication by stating, "If I were a member of the JEC, I would want to know what the students do and do not want."

The deaths of SJU seniors Pat Mooney and Dave Boeser are no longer news to members of the SJU/CSB community. The initial shock of their deaths has begun to wear off and the routine that was interrupted so abruptly is once again occupying the lives of those who were close to Dave and Pat. For these friends of the two, however, the routine of college life won't be the same.

"1 guess the best way to describe Dave and Pat is that they were people people," said Veronica Campion, a close friend. "They were both so outgoing and free spirited."

Roommates Joe Germscheid, Tim Lloyd and Rich Stromwall echoed these feelings. "They were both so easy to get along with,*' said Germscheid. "They were the most imaginative and fun-loving guys I knew."

"I'll miss their humor, they were both incredibly funny people," said Lloyd. "To describe them I'd have to say happy-go-lucky."

The memorial Mass for the two, celebrated Monday, Sept. 22, by Roman Paur, OSB, filled the Abbey church. "They both loved St. John's because of the people, that's the kind of guys they were," said Stromwall. "The attendance at the memorial Mass and the amount of people that came down for both funerals was great. It was something that the families and those of us that knew them real-

ly appreciated. It brought everyone closer together."

Dave Boeser was completing a degree in management and was the goalie for the SJU hockey team. SJU hockey coach Denny Hart-man said of him, "The biggest thing about Dave was his enthusiasum. He put forth a great effort and was always interested in what I had to say. He was a very coachable young man and I wish everyone could have his positive attitude." Hartman indicated that this season's team would, in some way, be making a tribute to Dave's honor.

Pat Mooney was completing degrees in both English and Spanish and he was a member of the SJU fraternity AKS. Fellow AKS member Joe Cristoforo spoke of Pat's involvement in the fraternity. "Pat was a very active member and was always contributing good ideas." Some AKS members traveled to Pat's funeral in Des Plaines, 111., to present his parents with a memorial plaque. AKS is also dedicating tom-morrow's Variety Show to both Dave and Pat.

The circumstances surrounding the deaths have given rise to much speculation. Bob McGarry, a close friend, echoed the sentiments of many of Pat's and Dave's friends in attempting to quiet speculations. "We want people to understand they weren't a couple of idiots laying out on the tracks. There had never been a train on Saturday morning before and that was the first time they had ever done anything like that."
