The senate did not know $60,000 had been frozen for possible Golden Spur renovations. They did not check into why the money was frozen before allocating it, SG Vice President Robert Bcall said Friday. "It was just overlooked," Bcall said. "Things happen like this. The money has gone to student organizations, as far as we know."

Though the money was inadvertently given to student organizations rather than held for Golden Snur renovation, SG officials said allocation codes were followed. "A piece of legislation was overlooked, nothing illegal happened." Beall said. SG codes require that even frozen funds not used by the end of the fiscal year be put into the general fund for reallocation to student organizations, Beall said. Sen. Harry Sharp said the $60,000 was probably : still frozen June 30, the end of the past fiscal year. i&ii ^^^BbTwH T~|r'i I'i 'i Vi'iV,iV,T n't Be Feburary! shman Kelly Kims, business freshman Susan West, and history sop warm weather on the steps hy the duck pond. r .. ^ t cafeteria renovatioi RY The project also incluc itor tion of a new dormitory , of the Roost began at the and the conversion of t the semester, and the first mitory into offices for hree-phase project should be athletic department statf.
