Senate Rehashes Budgets and Vacancieis
By Bob Kamholz
Sunday evening's Student
Senate meeting found the body
confronted with two old issues
-budgets and vacancies.
The budgets for all commis-sions,
committees, some subcom-mittees
and special interest
groups funded by Senate were
reviewed on a line-item basis
and were approved. Senate had
sanctioned each budget on a
tentative basis last spring, but
final approval was necessary at
this meeting because of a clause
in the Senate Constitution and
several changes in budgets
made by the Finance Commit-tee.
The final budget totals ap-proved
by Senate were: Aca-demic
Affairs Commission-
$325; General Fund - $1450;
Salaries-$3200; Student Activi-ties
Committee-$1530; Cultur-al
and Educational Committee
-$9270; Media Committee--
$35,262.95; Publicity and Deve-lopment
Committee-$670; Reli-gious
Life Committee-$4450;
Special Interests Committee-
$6149; Student Union Commis-sion-$
13,645; Student Welfare
and Human Relations-$150.
While most of the budgets
were passed without discussion,
the Special Interests Commit-tee
budget contained two items
that evoked considerable dis-cussion.
A motion was made "to
cut the BSU budget by $60,
which is money allotted to pay
the entry fee for Intramurals."
Senate and that it would be un-fair
to expect its members to
pay their regular dorm social
fee and an additional fee to pay
for the BSU team. On the other
hand, it was noted that frater-nity
pledges are in much the
same situation. The motion fail-ed.
Another motion was propos-ed
to delete funds for the Ob-server.
After considerable com-ments
about the relative merits
of the paper, the motion was de-feated.
The Special Interests
Committee budget passed in its
original form.
Elections Committee reported
that petitions for a multitude
of positiohs remain open. Peti-tions
are due for Sophomore,
Junior and Senior Class Presi-dent
and Secretary and Fresh-man
Class President and Sena-tor
on October 8. These candi-dates
will participate in a
forum in the Davidson Room
on October 11. The primary
election will be on October 16
with the final election being
held on the 18th. Thursday,
October 4 is the last day to
sign up for Radio Station Man-ager,
Finance Committee, Stu-dent
Activities Committee,
Special Interests Committee,
and Publicity and Development
Committee. Anyone wishing to
seek the position of Academic
Affairs Commission chairman is
to sign up at the desk in Me-morial
Center by October 5.
Constitutional amendments
bl.1h dA ih the1f
were LIose pu Usiu i nii
Discussion included the Argus last week: "Student Life
noints that BSU is funded by Committee" was changed to
"Student Union Commission"
and the powers of the Finance
Committee were enlarged to in-clude
the authority to "direct
the Senate Treasurer to stop or
adjust check requisitions or
close a committee's or commis-sion's
account after the deter-mination
of budgetary misman-agement.
Notification of the ac-companying
rationale will be
given to the Senate at least 24
hours prior to the next Sen-ate
meeting. The Finance Com-mittee
will re-open any closed
accounts as soon as measures
are taken to offset this misman-agement."
The president reported that
Paul Wedel had resigned as
Academic Affairs Commission
Chairman. Also, interest forms
for All-University Committees
are still available from living
unit senators. Finally, a motion
was made and approved to dir-ect
the president to appoint a
committee composed of two
senators and two non-senators
to look into the cost of text-books.
Media Committee reported
that there will be an open
house at the radio station on
October 7 from 6-8 p.m. Also,
students having complaints or
suggestions about Media Com-mittee-
related functions should
send them to the Media Com-mittee
via campus mail.
Student Union Commission
reported that Homecoming tic-kets
for the concert featuring
"Lobo" and "If" will go on sale
October 8 at the Main Desk at
$2.50 for students with an I.D.
and activity ticket and $3.50
for others. Also, anyone wish-ing
to help with the technical
arrangements of the concerts
should contact Peggy Elliott.
The Senate reaffirmed the
Student Rights Statement and
passed a motion asking SWHR
to draw up a more definitive
statement regarding alcohol
policy.
Finally, announcements in-cluded
the showing of "Ikiru"
on October 25 by the Wesleyan
Film Society. Any wishing more
information about the society
should contact Paul Breen at
452-4929. Also, anyone with
opinions on the Argus should
see their senators and send sug-gestions
to the Argus via cam-pus
mail.
Record Refrigerator Rental For IHC
By Linda Wray
Illinois Wesleyan has once
again made the record books,
this time for the record number
of rentals of refrigerators. At
the Interhall Council meeting
Thursday evening, President
Tim Tucker reported the rental
of 254 refrigerators. For a uni-versity
our size a figure about
one fifth that large was expect-ed.
Refrigerators can still be or-dered
by contacting Tim Tuck-er,
6-2065, or Bob Heisler, 6-
2186.
Tucker also commented on
the university liquor policy, re-minding
all students that dis-obeying
the existing rules now
will hinder the chances of the
Board passing the proposal of
private room drinking of beer
and wine which will be consid-ered
at their meeting of Octo-ber
23.
Vice-President Heisler predic-ted
that this year Interhall will
be making approximately $1800
on the refrigerator program.
