The funding raised concern by some student representatives over establishing a precedent in this area. Wapner received $400, allocated directly from SG funds, to support her trip this summer to Africa through a program called "Operation Crossroads." The funds were - allotted on the condition that she would report j back to Student Government and i university departments on her i trip, according to SG President i Seamus O'Boyle. < WAPNER WORKED on a coffee i plantation in Ghana.

"At the time we had the funds, though this year a project like that might not be Feasible," he said. "After I signed that bill I sent it jack to the senate saying it might 5e worthwhile to set aside some money each year for this type of project," O'Boyle said, suggesting that a screening committee could be established to determine legitimate requests.

"If no one has ever approached the senate before, I don't think everyone will do so now that I have," Wapner said. Wapner pointed out that she has contributed to the university through the College of Health and Physical Education, and works with the mental health service on campus. She also spoke to the representatives to convince them of the trip's benefits for the university. "Anything that we fund would have to affect the Carolina community as a whole/' O'Boyle said.
