The Government of the Student Body Senate will take up three bills for their second reads at Wednesday night’s meeting.

The first, authored by Michael Weber, speaker of the senate, asks GSB to allocate $4,500 from the capital projects account to Veishea, Inc. in order for the Veishea parade to be televised on Mediacom.

According to the bill, the parade committee had no success in finding alternatives to televise the parade. The parade is broadcast annually to “reach a wide audience and promote the accomplishments and activities of Iowa State University students.”

The ISU Archery Club is looking for funding as well.

The bill asks for $1,839.41 for capital equipment and travel expenses.

The capital items include a new recurve bow, three new PSE Compound Discover 2’s, and an American Whitetail Competition Velociore Matt.

The competitions are the Iowa Deer Classic on March 7 in Des Moines. The second is the Iowa State Archery Association State Indoor competition March 12–14 in Cedar Rapids.

The ISU Bhangra Club has a bill, authored by Sagar Chawla, an Inter-Residence Hall Association senator, that requests $800 from the capital projects account in order to perform this semester.

The club needs five male and five female costumes, five khunda and six saaps.

Two new bills will be introduced to the senate this week.

The first is for the Diversity Network. The club has 10 members, and its goal is to “promote diversity and discuss ideas about how to improve and help solve issues of diversity on campus,” according to its Web site.

The bill is asking for $380 to buy fiesta dip and chips, and Aloo Tikki with mint chutney for an ethnic food night.

The second bill is written by Vice-Speaker Jacob Wilson, and asks that the remaining funds from the $29,886.99, which GSB allocated earlier in the year, be carried back over to the Sloss House for Fiscal Year 2011.
