The money, taken out of the operating budget, was granted after some debate was held. It was pointed out that the School of Business was having 50 non-student members, including faculty attending the banquet which was being paid for with studentbody funds. Read Hellewell, studentbody president stated that the money should be granted on the basis of what had been done previously by the council for the school of Arts Letters and Sciences. Brent Johns, academic vice president, said that nine people were being honored at the banquet with the vast majority of those honored not being students. Ken Lowe, student services . vice president, said that he would like to allot money for the banquet but not the $362 requested. It was finally decided to allot $240 which would cover the cost of awards but not the meal. Improving grounds In other matters, Garrison Carter, Ombudsman, reported that he had checked into the possibility of planting grass in the field south of the Education Building and of the Social Science Building. He stated that the seed for the 340 X 320 foot area would cost $973.76. He said that they could use the spreaders free of charge for the day planned. He also requested $152.33 for a party to be held after the grass was planned and $5.44 for concrete for the area. Carter stated that he had talked with WSC President Bishop, who was "quite enthusiastic over the idea" and was impressed that the studentbody would give a gift like that to the college. A total of $1184.72 was then alloted. May 30-31 were set aside for the grass planting. Everyone can be involved in the planting project, Carter said. Also, a motion was passed for Hellewell or Johns to call the appropriate people to ask that the Academic Assembly be invited to the awards banquets in the respective schools. A motion to freeze the budgets of the various schools until they invite the assemblymen was turned down. 1 THE VETERANS INFORMATION CORNER J a j& ATTENTION VET STUDENTS IN NEED OF A PART TIME JOB!

In a 90-minute closed caucus, the Democrats voted to instruct the rules committee to clear for a floor vote proposals on tax reform.
