Unused fees accounted for SUUSA .a nnounces By BILL JUSTE EN • E IOR TAFF WRITER Every year unspent funds from tudem fee go into a fund balance account, said Vice Pre ident for tudent Service terling R. Churcb. He added that tho e funds are then held in reserve and earn interest for future expenditures. "For instance, if the student body officers need new computer or new furniture, • he aid. "But they are not used for general operating purpo e like dances or to upport the lecture eries." The process to release the fund goes through the student body president and the director of student activities. Once both parties agree to rclea e funds, the dean of tudents approves the allocation as well. "The reason the student body president makes that determination i that tho e funds have been accumulated from past tudent groups,• Church said. "They do not fall und r the current expenditures authorized by the senate or executi e council," he said. The fund account has two purpose . One is for the acqui ition of capital items, such a computers, but the other purpose is to hold that money as an emergency reserve. "If anticipated a certain dollar amount of student fee for the budget, and we found that midway through the academic year that those fee were below what we thought we would generate, then the fund would be u ed to meet ongoing commitments, " Church said. Thi year, the only project that the funds will benefit is the unfinished theatre in the harwan Smith Center. Church said that the university is hoping to spend about 20,000 of student fund to "fini h it off. " The entire cost of the theatre is 230,000. He e timated the balance in the sn1dent fund balance to be about $20,000 after the project i completed. The amount is $5,000 less than is normally anticipated from year to year. "We try to maintain a balance of about $25,000 in the account, " he said. " It i a wise u e of student fund . " Chur h aid that students are assured that any unexpended money will be retained to benefit them, and will not be spent without their authorization. we appointed positions One-third of a pool of 90 applicants were recendy cho en to fill the 30 SUUSA appointed po itions.
