Money that had been frozen for possible renovation
to the Golden Spur has been allocated to stu
dent organizations by the Student Senate, the Student
Government viee president said.
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."
The funds were frozen November 1985 by the

whether or not to change the Golden Spur to office
space for student organizations.
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

Therefore, the money was no longer set aside tor
the Golden Spur after June 30, when it was dispersed
among the campus groups, said Woody
Carothers, assistant vice president for Student
A1 fairs.
Carothcrs said if someone had remembered to bring
up the issue, the funds may have been
realloeated for the Golden Spur project.
"How was the finance committee supposed tc

he said.
According to Sharp, the bill that froze the fundi
was intended to keep the money in the SG accoun

"The money was not lost, it was reallocated and
that's what is supposed to happen," he said.

i Bcall said the senate is not bound by previous
senate's decisions. "With a different administra>
