"But as far as political activity, I can't stress enough that there must be a strict interpretation of the clause," Ramsey added. When asked about specific student organizations and their status, finance committee members offered no comment. However, members passed around a checklist at an earlier meeting with specific organizations they may look at as political. The Finance Committee votes on allocation of student funding and recommends the entire budget to the senate, who passes it or sends it back to the committee for changes. The process takes place in the spring for most student activity funds, but new clubs and carryover budgets are often addressed in the fall. s advisement the Office of the Registrar on an experimental basis last March.
