The Government of the Student Body will vote on allocating funds to several organizations and host guest speaker President Gregory Geoffroy at its meeting Wednesday.

At its meeting last week, GSB members asked questions of intent regarding the requests for funding. Halley Stille, speaker of the senate and senior in French, said this discussion was the first of a two-part process GSB follows for allocating funds.

“We ask questions about bills one week, then discuss and vote the next,” Stille said.

Organizations that have requested GSB funding include:

• “Conference Funding for MBLGTACC” — $5,000 to attend the 2011 Midwest Bisexual Lesbian Gay Transgender Ally College Conference

• “Safety Equipment for the Horseman’s Association” — $149.50 to purchase three riding helmets

• “Funding for ISU Rubik’s Cube Club” – $156 to purchase 3 QJ Timer Mats ($12 each) and 20 Speed Cube Rubik’s Cubes ($6 each)

• “Sustainability Symposium” — $1,000 for reasons that will be specified at the GSB meeting

• “ISU Winterguard Funding” — $1,513.55 to purchase equipment and attend a competition

Also, at the last meeting, GSB members voted to seat a new SUV senator, Curtis Donelson, senior in psychology.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the Pioneer Room of the Memorial Union.
