APRre 15, 1998 SUUSA Senate running out of funding, time for 1997-98 By RUSSELL KENNEDY OF THE JOURNAL STAFF Though not mentioned, the presence of campaign signs a few feet from the Student Conference Room was clearly felt last night as the SUUSA Senate passed three bills and proposed another two that will nearly exhaust its budget for the academic year. The unanimous passage of Bill 027-98 releases $ 1,800 to be used for costs associated with the student body elections being held this week and Bill 029 -98, also passed unanimously, allocates $500 to the SUUSA fOR 1/Jr Judicial Council for "administrative" use. It was Bill 028-98, however, that caused debate among senators. The bill, sponsored Sen. Robert Reynard (ALH), calls for a $2,000 allocation to Student Support Services for student during the 1998 summer session. · Speaking in opposition to the bill, Sen. Katie Clifford (BTC) questioned the origin of the funding, saying, "It just seems like a lot of money going to one small faction (of students)." After 15 minutes of debate on the bill, Clifford joined the rest of senate in voting in favor. The senate additionally proposed n vo new bills, 03098 and 03 1-98, to be debated and voted upon next week. Bill 030-98 calls for $790 to "relocate and refurbish" the ' F.Dl'C ,\ T I O ~ n11d RF.SF.ARCH CO.\t.\ll'::..IT\' Pestalozzi Award display case in teacher education while Bill 031 -98 would allocate $1,500 for a computer for the advertising/ public relations laboratory of the communication department. The actions last night leave the senate with just over $3,500 in its budget. However, should they approve bills 030-98 and 031-98 next week, senators will find themselves with some $1,200 remaining wit h their terms winding down and the election of their successors set for April 21 . The final order of senate business was a reminder by Sen. David Adams (Science) that line item allocation requests are due in the SUUSA offices by Friday.

TIM Jtc;a) l:':..U1t- M'Ount, These varied influences inspired his attitude toward s tudent activities. "We're at a uoiversiry, so naturally everything should be a 'learning experience'," he says. "But that is very true, we learn from experiences, and from others. So if our activities incorporate awareness of other cultures, for instance, then students have walked away really enlightened. " Among Herzog's many goals and ideas for what he would like to accomplish, the reputation of the Greek organizations is something on which he said a lot of emphasis will be placed. "Being a former m ember of a fraternity, I know all about the negative connotations of the Greeks. l had friends that joined because they • were envisioning the 'Animal House,' but that's not what fraternities and sororities are about. I would really like to work and change that stereotype." Herzog has also observed another critical problem in student activities being the amount of "turf wars" between tbe clubs and organizations ·On campus. "I have noticed quite a bit of competition among the students involved with these things, one club thinks the other is getting more funding or more attention. We're going to work to change that too. We can't have a functional student activities system if everyone is against one another." , Herzog discussed other ideas such as .increasing effectiveness by getting things at SUU "up to speed technology-wise," as well as reviewing the allocation of student fees. A true visionary, Herzog admitted that he is going to be extremely busy, and amazingly, he is working without a secretary or an assistant. "There is a lot of work, and I'll probably experience some stress, but it's worth it. My responsibility as director of Student Activities is to be here, available for the students. My door is always open, there's always candy on my desk, and I am here to help," said Herzog. "I encourage students to come see me, because if I don't know there's a problem, I can't £ix it." |
