Jon Turk, Government of the Student Body president, vetoed a bill that allocated $4,530.96 to Iowa State’s SAE Club, which received money from the Engineering Student Council earlier in the year.

The bill, written by engineering senator Dan Finnegan, was proposed to help fund trips to competitions in California and Washington, in which the club will enter cars it has built.

At last Wednesday’s meeting, the bill was originally called out-of-order by Vice President Chandra Peterson because the club had received funding from the Engineering Student Council and because it is affiliated with a certain major — both of which are against the GSB by-laws.

The out-of-order ruling was then overturned by the senate, and the money was again set to be allocated.

Turk said he vetoed the bill because he wanted to make sure the senators knew what they were voting for.

Turk said the club received the funding from the Engineering Student Council last semester, which is part of this fiscal year, so the money should still count as money received by another council.

It will take a motion from a senator, then a two-thirds vote from all seated senators to override the veto.

If a senator is not seated at the time of the vote, or abstains from voting, his or her vote will count as a no vote.

Wednesday night’s meeting will also include the final vote on funding campus directory maps.

A representative from facilities planning and management attended last week’s meeting to ask the senate to update the various maps located around campus.

The representative asked for $7,000 to replace the maps, which are usually replaced every two years but haven’t been replaced since 2006.

The bill was referred to the rules committee after debate on whether or not it was a good use of students’ money to fund the maps, and whether or not it was GSB’s job to fund them.

This week’s meeting will be the first with the newly created Sergeant at Arms position.

Luke Roling was appointed to the position last week after Speaker of the Senate Michael Weber informed the Senate that senators’ use of social networking sites to discuss bills during meetings is in violation of Iowa’s Open Meetings, Open Records handbook.

By communicating through social networking sites, not all debate was being put on the official record. Roling’s job will be to limit the debate senators have on networking sites.
