The first $4OOO loan was given lasi spring by SGA lo get the SCCA in operation.' The agency had to close early on several days because it ran out of money, he said, and the problem is even greater on big weekends. Katzen explained that the SCCA couldn’t get more money from the bank over weekends because it is handled through Associated Stu dent Activities and University employes do not work then. William Fuller, SCCA advisor, pointed out that the agency must keep at least a $lOOO bal ance in the bank at all times lo cover possible bad checks. This ieaves $lOOO !ess for the working balance of the SCCA, he said. The questions of compensations for the chairman, treasurer, sec-, retary and personnel-advertising manager of SCCA- brought consid erable debate from Assembly. 1 The SGA Cabinet Monday had recommended that they be cut in half. SCCA asked that they be , set at $l5O for the chairman, and $125 for the other three board ' members. ’ Leonard Julius, SGA Presi dent, said Cabinet felt the com pensations could be 'sacrificed" at least until the $BOOO loan was repaid. Jay Hawley (C.-Sr.) brought out that the precedent of compensa | tion had already been set. He added that Assembly has no way i of judging fair amounts for SCCA . board members.
