Show Senate allots funds to Radio Club, Medieval Club The ASSUSC Senate Monday passed two bills alloting funds to campus organizations. The allotments of the senates together comprise nearly one-thir- d remaining budget. The Medieval Club s request for $270 was reduced to $100 and passed. The allocation will pay entry fees for five club members at Estrella War 5, a convention in Phoenix with a Medieval theme. This club fills a niche that nothing else does, said Sen. Rog Olcott during discussion on the bill. The SUSC Radio Club received its entire funding request of $500 to help purchase a new mixing board for KGSU-FM- , the campus radio station. Only one board at the station the one used for actual broadcasts makes recordings of a quality suitable for airing on the FM station. Hence, all station announcements and recorded material must be recorded on Sunday when the station is off the air. Its the 83RD YEAR; NUMBER 24 worst, said Sen. Jan Shelton, of KGSUs situation. Shelton added that as a radio production student she recorded her projects on the theatre departments superior equipment. The bill passed unanimously. In addition to $500 from ASSUSC, the club will receive some $3,000 from the communication department plus $200 from the TV Club and $500 from its own pool of funds, said station manager Ceci Williams. In new business, Sen. April Holladay presented a bill requesting $260 to fund the upcoming inaugural banquet, which will take place in March. Senators voted to circle' and post the bill, which will be discussed again today at 5 p.m. in the Student Centers Grand Canyon Reading Room. Academic Vice President Marni Madsen read a memo concerning improper payment procedures used by the SOUTHERN UTAH STATE COLLEGE Masque Club. Sen. Kent Gordon said the problem deals with the clubs not properly completing a purchase order before buying materials on its account. It happens more than it should, he said, noting that administrators have begun to crack down on violations such as this. Madsen said the club could be put on probation for the violation. In other funding news, Gordon announced that an increase in ASSUSCs winter budget would supplement the senate fund by nearly $450. Madsen thanked Sens. Olcott, Gordon and Ben Felix for meeting the deadline in submitting a summary of their goals and achievements while in office. Results will be contained in an annual report being compiled by ASSUSC President Darin Bird. All other senators failed to submit report information by the Feb. 1 deadline. CEDAR CITY, UTAH MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1989 opeful officers plan Election 89 BY LYNN HOLT The nomination assembly for hopeful ASSUSC officers is slated for Friday afternoon, and prospective student leaders are taking last minute measures to ensure that they hit the campaign trail with the right foot forward.

Punishment for violations ranges from a minimum $25 fine to the committees recommendation that newly elected officials be removed from office if their conduct during the campaign warrants it. Rivers discussed upcoming campaign-relate- d events, designed to ensure that the students will see you. Included among these: Meet the Candidates Night, scheduled for Feb. 21 in Juniper Hall and a debate the day before the' March 1 general election.
