The Government of the Student Body wrapped up its last meeting of the session Wednesday night.

Because it was the last meeting of the session, every bill had to be dealt with or it would die, said Jon Turk, junior in political science, speaker of the senate and GSB president-elect.

Many senators expressed concern about the senate bill Supporting Current & Prospective Off-Campus Students, which would have allocated $12,000 to build an off-campus housing Web site.

Engineering senator Dan Finnegan, senior in aerospace engineering, said there are already more than enough resources for students to find apartments in Ames.

Off-campus senator Jacob Wilson, sophomore in political science, said Web sites like craigslist.com and roommates.com only accomplish so much. He said a university-sponsored site that would provide all of the necessary information for finding a place to live is a good use of student fee money.

Wilson added that the university could require a student ID number to log in, which would make the Web site much safer than craigslist.com.

Business senator Elisa Berzins, senior in marketing, said the senators against the bill are forgetting about out-of-state students. She said that although she’s been a student at Iowa State for a few years and could be considered well versed in the community, she still has trouble finding an apartment and consequently has moved to a new apartment every year.

Panhellenic council senator Chelsea Zigtema, sophomore in sociology, said the Web site would be of no use to members of the greek community, as they live in their houses for four years.

GSB President Daniel Fischer, senior in agricultural business, said it is not accurate to say the site would not be useful to members of sororities or fraternities. He pointed out that many members of the greek community choose to live out of their chapter houses their senior year or earlier.

Off-campus senator Jacob Johnston, senior in management, said a Web site of this nature would have saved him from the prospect of living in a tent for a week or two when he moved to Ames.

Ultimately, the senate voted to postpone the bill indefinitely. Turk said he didn’t want to vote down the bill, but didn’t think there was enough support to pass it Wednesday night.

Turk said he would look into cheaper alternatives over the summer and if there were still a need for a professionally developed Web site, he would present a bill to the new senate next fall.

The senate passed the rest of its legislation Wednesday night.

The senate bill Funding a ‘One Community’ Event was passed by a vote of 27-0-0, allocating $853 to the event.

The senate bill Funding Antique Tractor Club was passed by a vote of 26-1-0, allocating $97.98 to the group for travel expenses.

By a vote of 25-1-0 senate bill Funding Juggling Club was passed, allocating $327 to the group. The club missed regular allocations and requested funding for renegade clubs, bouncing juggling balls, diabolo and string.

Account Allocations for Fiscal Year 2010 and Ratifying the Debt Contract Amendment with Asian Pacific American Awareness Coalition were passed by votes of 27-0-0.

Inauguration for the new administration will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday in the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union.
