SGA budget allocation process under way by Syreeta Anderson staff writer It is that time again for clubs and organization to submit budget outwit forms to the. Student Government Associatical. Anriub or organization that is currently registered as active and has completed budget training is applicable for the spring 2004 allocation process. There were six opportunities for clubs and organizations to get information on the spring budget. The meetings were held in Reed 113 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday during the week of October 20 and Monday and Tuesday of the following week. The president and treasurer of any club or organization requesting money are required to come to one of these meeting. If the president and treasurer are not present at one of the meetings, then their club or organization will not be considered for funding for the spring of 2004. Twelve copies of the budget request form are due to the RUB information desk before 5 p.m. on Nov. 7. The following week the budget committee, consisting of SGA vice president Jennifer Sutter, SGA treasurer Erica Sitter and six student delegates, will make allocation recommendations and call necessary budget hearings. On Dec. 3, the budget committee will present recommendations to the SGA. Clubs will receive their budget allocations the following day. The next part of the process occurs Dec. 9, when appeal forms are due to the RUB information desk by 5 p.m. Finally, on Dec. 10, SGA will hear appeals and e 'I WOl/0 .71/ Illi)let) than • • I thOlight filet/ Zl'olllcl Kirk Hodges 810, 03 lends humor to Smith Writing Serie (ant pmtessor (,1 F,nglish and creative \111(111L The informal atmosphere continued to dominate the reception as guests con versed over cheese and fruit and the au thor visited with students.

Before putting together a budget request, clubs must look at the list of itemsthat the SGA won 't give fundin for, AoCOUting to the •University policy, there are certain activities that won't receive funding. Political activities, cliscrimituttoty activities and activities that provide non contractual gain of any student are a few examples. Along with the University, the SGA has its own restrictions concerning cash prizes, routine refreshments, postage and more. When submitting a request, the committee will consider the number of students being served, benefits of the program and the diversity and enrichment the program will bring to students. The committee will also look for creativity and originality of the funding request. Jennifer Sutter, MKTG 07, said, `This year there are two major changes to ttie allocations process. The first is the way clubs are allowed to spend recruitment money and the second is the fact that we are requiring DJ quotes." This year clubs will be allowed to spend recruitment money on program enhancements such as pens, balloons, etc. The mandate for DJ quotes is to ensure that the distribution of funds are as accurate as possible. Every club or organization that is funded by the SGA for any activity, trip or program must include the SGA emblem in their publicity. SGA is implementing this rule in an attempt to raise awareness of what it is that SGA provides to students and student organization. ~*~ rg ~,, y ~~ `.~J Friday, October 31, 2003 Chrissy Oliver PSYCH, 01 Union Building_ where he was scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. More than fifty students, faculty, and visitors poured into the auditorium to lis ten to Martone as he presented readings from several of his works.

They finished late Sunday afternoon. "It was a successful trip, both challenging and rewarding," said Floyd Mattie, 1310131) 05, president of the Outdoors Club. The members arrived at the canyon Friday at 9 p.m. and hiked 2 miles to a nearby campsite. The trail was confusing on the way to the first campsite. Another trail intersected the West Rim Trail. which had orange blazers, or trail markers, and directed to the right. Due to the darkness. the hikers missed the sign and hiked on a different trail for a while. They realized they were lost when Issac Hagenbuc saw a blue blazer. They back-tracked and saw the West Rim Trail was off to the right. "Though it was dark and easy to miss, the workers need to put an arrow on a tree to let people know the trail is off to the right," said Hagenbuc, BIOBD 09. They finally made it to their designated campsite around midnight. When they arrived, they set up their tents and went straight to bed. According to club members, it was an extremely cold night When the adventurers woke up Saturday morning, they had breakfast, took down their tents, and started a I 2 mile hike. Everyone hiked at his own pace. iIP• Ihiaxo .4ra:rjv CMPSC, 07 iincLidote A \ inadc Its Indiana.
