financial bill
By BONNIE DAVIS
Senate reporter
Student Senate voted down the much-debated finaiu
bill that dealt with percentage-funded organizations du
ing Wednesday night's meeting.
This past week, Sen. Aimee Black proposed an amen<
ment to do away with percentage-funded organizatioi
altogether. The focal point of the debate has been ov<
whether percentage-funded organizations are fair an
V 'whether they should be treated like other studei
organizations.
"Percentage-funded organizations are going to g
their money no matter what ? whether we think wh
they're spending it on is good or not," Sen. Stanley Dav
said.
An amendment was also passed that said if the Sena
voted to abolish percentage funding, then the legislatic
wouldn't go through until the fiscal year 1989.
Sen. Black's amendment passed the Senate by a narro
margin. However, when it came time to vote on tl
original finance bill itself, the Senate vote was tied, at
the bill failed by decision of the chair. The Finance Cor
I mittec, as well as any other Senate member, now has tl
opportunity to reconsider the bill and bring it back up f
( reconsideration by the Senate.
I "The way it (percentage funding) was designed was
} ^-^ensure that four organizations would be assured of a ct
I " tain amount of money right from the top . . . and that
exactly why I make the argument that it is unfair," Sc
Stanley Davis said.
Sen. Davis also argued that the Financc Commit!
j should be given the same authority over all organizatio
and that it should "determine how much money should
j spent on specific projects."
In support of percentage-funded organizations, St
Steve McHlveen presented the Senate with several rCasc
why he thinks percentage funding is fair. First, percenta
funding allows these organizations to make long-tei
plans and to use their money more efficiently. It ai
allows them a wide range of fluctuation from year to y<
so they can effectively plan their capital expenditures.
^ ' Perhaos the most important reason for oercentaue fi
ding, Sen. Mcfclveen said, is I hat the four organization!
supports, Student Media, CPU, Student Government a
sports clubs, provide campuswide services and affeel
i greater number of students.

Editor's note: Reporter Johnuthon Lober talked with Marvin
Bush, son of Vice President George Bush, during the younger
Bush's visit to (JSC Thursday.
Question: What is your reaction to Bush's third-place
finish in Iowa behind Bob Dole and Pat Robertson?
Answer: Well, obviously we would have liked to have
come in first. There's no question about it. However, the
demographics of the state were not working in our
favor.
Q: I understand that Bush ii leading in New
Hampshire.
A: Yes.
Q: Do you think that this is more indicative of a national
trend than the preferences of the voters of Iowa?
A: Yes. Our feeling is that the polls in Iowa reflected

there economically, and President Reagan is not really
popular out there. Whereas in a state like New Hampshire
or down here in South Carolina, we'll do a lot better
as a result of our close affiliation with Reagan.
Q: What is Bush's stand on federal student loans?
A: Don't know, don't know what it is on student
loans. I'll tell you one thing, though, that education,
generally speaking, is something that 1 wish the media
would pay more attention to some of the specific ideas
that my dad has proposed. One specific idea being set up
is tax-free educational bonds at a young age, which
would give tax preference to parents so that they can
plan for their kids' educations. That is probably the
most innovative idea that has come out of this campaign
as far as tuition is concerned.
Q: Where else does Bush think that higher education
needs to he improved, and how does he plan to do it?
A: Well, it begins with the family more that) anything
else. It would be presumptuous of my dad to come out as
president and have an imperial presidency that stresses
that we can solve all the educational problems. It starts
with the family. It's a matter of emphasis as far as he is
concerned . . . and trying to encourage people to think
in terms of education versus just focusing on economic
issues.
Q: I)o you think that Bush's controversial nine
