The Iowa State Sailing Club is asking for $22,119.90 from the Government of the Student Body at Wednesday night’s meeting where GSB will give a first read to the senate bill.

The Sailing Club will be using the money to buy several items for the club including four new land yachts, four carry bags, eight helmets, two multi-purpose water crafts and five life jackets.

Another bill requests $1,765 for Longboarding Club, which will have its first read Wednesday as well.

“We would like to buy safety equipment and boards,” said Robert Hill, Longboarding Club President and freshman in computer engineering.

The group doesn’t have anything competitive planned, but they are trying to plan trips to nearby state parks, Hill said.

“We would like to bring longboarders on campus together,” Hill said. “We have even thought about giving lessons to people who have never longboarded before.”

The club became official a few weeks ago, even though they existed unofficially since last spring, Hill said.

Water-ski Club is also asking for $5,156 to rent vehicles that will transport them to a national competition in Arvin, Calif.

“The Water-ski Club competition is this fall and special allocations doesn’t go through until this spring,” said Michael Weber, speaker of the senate and senior in family finance, housing and policy, explaining why the money is being processed as a bill.

A bill to change the name of an off-campus constituency council to United Residents of Off Campus will also be voted on Wednesday.

Members of the public relations committee, the student debt committee and the university affairs committee will also be seated Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the student finance committee is preparing for special allocation budgets that are due on Oct. 9.

“The first year I was here we had 28 groups for special allocations. My second year we had 12 and last year we had five,” said Tom Danielson, GSB finance director and senior in civil engineering. “We have been talking to a lot of organizations beforehand to see how much money we need to be prepared to have,” he said.

The finance committee has budgeted $20,000 for special allocations this year, Danielson said.
