We use roughly 840 man-houevery year in taking the photos and processing these cards, said Rich Engleman, publication specialist. While the Board of Trustees is in charge of $92.50 of the student services fees, the SUUSA Senate controls the remaining $22.50. Every year SUUSA Senators vote on the allocation of student monies. For instance, the senate sets aside $3.50 per student to form a coffer from which they allocate funds to clubs or special projects. Also, in order to keep student admission prices down at campus theatre productions, the senate has designated $1 as a drama fee. This allows students to pay only $2 a show instead of $7, said Gary McIntyre, theatre department head. In general, to keep down the cost of participating in activities, $2 goes toward an open recreation and intramural fee and $8.25 to a student body fee for dances, concerts, the Ombudsmans Office and special events. Because of the time the student officers spend in planning and administering student activities, $1 is put toward a student body scholarship to provide stipends for some of those serving in student government offices. The Thunderbird and Tailwind, SUUs annual literary magazine, are also supported by a $4 allocation from the student services 8-- 5 Sat -4 586-799- 5 rs Come Visit the Bookstore We Carry Art Supplies, Mugs, Hats, Shorts.
