Six bills and the Varsity Theater bill are expected to be discussed at Government of the Student Body Senate at Wednesday’s meeting.

The ISU Naval Drill Team is asking for $1,260 to compete at the Beale Street Drill Competition hosted by the University of Memphis.

The group is open to all students, and is not named after the Naval ROTC on campus, GSB Senator John Schultz said.

Schultz said the group did not anticipate the cost of the trip, but they will be funding most of the trip itself.

Michael Weber, chair of the rules committee, said the committee reported the bill unfavorably because no members were present at the meeting to answer questions.

The Senate will also be voting on whether or not to allocate $3,352 to update computers and software in the YWCA Ames-ISU offices.

The bill written by GSB Senator Anthony Maly claims the offices currently have four computers and valuable information is being lost due to people using their personal laptops.

GSB President Jon Turk’s name is on a bill after he was approached to put a bill in asking for $7,000 for 14 campus directory maps.

Turk said he asked Senators Maly and Brian Ryherd to sponsor the bill — and they did.

According to the bill, “The existing campus directory maps are out of date, reflecting campus from 2006 … These maps assist thousands of students, faculty and visitors who navigate around campus each year, and could be installed for Veishea 2010.”

“It’s up to you if it is a proper expenditure of money … Facilities Planning and Management will be here next week to give a presentation, I don’t think they will be crushed if this doesn’t pass,” Turk said at last week’s meeting.

The ISU Aeronautical Society is looking for $735.69 because it is “in need of some unexpected items in order to keep its club running smoothly and accomplishing its mission,” according to the bill.

Some items they are hoping to buy include electric wire, plexiglass and a battery charger.

The Senate will be voting on transferring $35,000 from the capital projects account to the Memorial Union for Web development and maintenance costs.

Last week representatives from the Student Activities Center gave a presentation on the benefits of using an electronic system.

The representatives said if one sees a table set up outside the library, it has been through the events authorization process.

The system will be developed from scratch by Web development, and will give students the ability to track events while they are in the approval process, plus tell groups on the list when they are on the agenda.

The $35,000 will pay for 575 hours of development and should cover any initial development challenges and first year glitches.

The final bill to go through  is funding for ISU’s Society of Automotive Engineers Club.

The club has “constructed a mini-Formula car for the purpose of participating in national competitions, and two of these upcoming competitions will be held in Lynden, Wash. and Fontana, Calif.,” according to the bill.

The group is therefore asking for $6,041.28 for travel expenses for the two trips.
