The Student Senate Financ(
Committee will present its budgel
recommendation to the Senate al
the meeting this evening.
The committee spent over 3
hours researching all requests to
insure that every project receives
the [unds it needs. according to
3obby Thomason, chairman of
the finance committee.
A bill to abolish stipends and
implement a salary system is
pending. If the bill is passed,
senators will be paid according to
the number of meetings they at
tend.
The Finance Committee has
requested $10 a month for
senators, and $15 a month for
committee chairmen. Salary
penalties would be stiffer for
chairmen.
A total of $3,550 would be
necessary to pay stipends if all
senators attended all meetings
during the school year under the
salary .system. $4,700 would be
re(uired under stipend system.
Senators will not be paid for any
absences, excused and unex
cused. Unexcused absences will
carry a harsher penalty for
senators.
Thomason expects that no
more than $2,200 will actually be
paid to senators during the coming
year if the bill passes.

great potential" that "not read
mitting him due to his police
record (i.e. two drug convictions)
is closing the only doors probably
still left open to him in his life."
Leon is on three years probation
for conviction of separate charges
of possession of LSD and
possession of marijuana with in
tent to sell.
Leon said that he was dismissed
f rom the University for destruction
of state property during the riots
last spring. He said he was noti
being readmitted because of the
drug convictions and that the
charges were brought against him
when he was not a student at the
University.
fDan Eckstrom said that he had
talked at great length on numerous
occasions with Leon and that he
thought Leon was "sincere" in his
wishes to return to the University.

backing the person, but not the
drug violator."
