Ll Ethel Lyman The ASSUSC elections committee was unanimously allocated funds Wednesday, totaling $650, from the ASSUSC Senate. Elections Commmittee Chairman Stacey Smith said the monies will be used to cover expenses incurred in the upcoming general elections. These expenses will include ballots, posters, flyers, the candidates dinner, the elections dance and miscellaneous office supplies.

Scott Johnson. - - - It was proposed that $1,500 be allocated to the SUSC intramurals program. The bill will be posted for one week, allowing time for senate and student reviews. According to the request submitted to the senate, the bill, if passed, would help in the operation of a successful intramural program. Jim Cannon, intramural student director, said, All this money runs the events and pays for awards. Intramural activities will be taking place throughout the remainder of the year, said Cannon. Johnson noted the senate audit committee has received nearly half the evaluation forms sent to those clubs and organizations allocated money this year, with the exception of open recreation. Johnson said one complaint lodged in the returned forms was the senate should do more investigation into the clubs being allocated money, while the senate was complimented on not being hasty in making decisions.

Also discussed in the meeting was that some schools teachers are required to keep on file all tests that they have given before. This is so that students, especially those who have never had a certain teacher before, can study and know what to expect on their tests. This keeps the teachers updating their tests every time they give a new test each quarter, Wade emphasized. Also, the present student administration is putting together packets for the new administration. Wade encouraged all council members to record all important information that they have learned during their time in office, write down any ideas or suggestions and present those packets to their incoming replacements.
