* Student Senate Passes Budget By PATTY MCCARTHY Staff Wrfter Student senators heard budget appeals Wednesday from _ campus organizations dissatisfied with their allocations P recommended by the Senate Finance Committee. However, the budget bill was passed with no amendments. P ? two organizations, the Gamecock and the Women's R lub, presented their cases before the Senate. The Gamecock questioned the committee's decision not to allocate funds to nav renorters ?nd nhotnaranhprs nnH fhp Women's Rugby Club asked the senators to reconsider the comn *ee's decision not to fund the club at all this year. Representatives of the Women's Rugby Club asked for funds to supply "the basics of survival" for their organization, such as rugby balls and whistles. NEITHER organization was successful in its appeal, as the Senate voted to pass the allocation package as recommended by the Finance Committee. Commenting on the decision concerning the Gamecock, r inance ^ommmee unairman Barry Gray said, "The idea behind student organizations is not to supply jobs but to give opportunity and experience." THE FINANCE Committee worked for about three weeks on the budget bill before presenting it to the Senate Oct. 9. The $322,000 the committee had at its disposal came from the increase in student activity fees, which was passed by the Senate last spring, and from the fall contingency fund. All but about $32,000 of the money was allocated. That amount was placed in a contingency and emergency fund. In other business, the Communications Committee ( proposed a bill that would require all printed material distributed by funded organizations to have the words "made possible by student activity fees" printed somewhere on it. A bill was also proposed that would update the pass-fail system for elective classes.
