Possible stipends from STIPENDS page 1 "If a stipend was offered, people who otherwise would be unable to devote their time and themselves because of jobs, for example, would be able to dedicate themselves to SGA. Since they would not have to worry about the money factor," said Mallon. Lourdes Tirado, Multi-Cultural Council president opposes the proposal. She asked, "Who's to say who works more than another? Of the 72 organizations on campus who puts the most time and effort into their organization? The executive board delegates a lot of work to the senators." Some ideas SGA is considering giving everyone on SGA a stipend (those who work by dedicating their time to their organization) or possibly offering independent study, leadership type credits. According to Dawn Hozer, SGA treasurer, the executive board members of Behrend's SGA stipends are presently: the president--$4OO/sern. the secretary--$2OO/sern. two treasurers, who work year round---$4OO/sem. Chris Rizzo, director of Student Activities, said that stipend allocationi are up to SGA. • "SGA votes on the stipend amount which comes from the SGA budget," said Rizzo. The stipend amounts vary among campuses.
