The Government of the Student Body is hoping to buy 15 new laptops to replace the 14 laptops, which are broken or unusable, that students can check out in the Memorial Union.

At the GSB meeting on Wednesday, the bill to receive grants for funding the new student laptops is to be read for the second time.

The bill, proposed earlier this year, was taken back to the finance committee for further discussion. The reason, said Tom Danielson, finance director of GSB and senior in civil engineering, was “to get more information before putting it back in front of senate.”

An appearance from Kyle Wiebers, president of the Student Union Board and sophomore in pre-business, will take place at the meeting. Wiebers said Jonathan Turk, liberal arts and sciences senator and junior in political science, asked him to attend the GSB meeting to notify them of changes in the SUB and new programs that are being implemented.

“The SUB and the GSB are working on forming a cohesive relationship,” Wiebers said.

This will allow the two student organizations to “work together” as well as support each other in their respective endeavors, Wiebers said.

A bill for the funding of the Malaysian Cultural Night, to be held Oct. 26, will have its first read at the GSB meeting.

Yee Gin Kok, treasurer of the Association of Malaysian Students at Iowa State University and junior in industrial engineering, said the organization initially went to the GSB for funding for the event, but were asked to accept a lower amount of money. Gin Kok said the budget for this event is $4,000 to $5,000 — GSB offered the club $2,000.

In order to make this event possible, AMSISU will be required to “use the money from GSB as well as find sponsors for this event,” said Gin Kok.

The AMSISU has not verified who the sponsors for the event will be.

Five students, including Samantha Clark, senior in political science; Austin Hancock, sophomore in economics; Katrina Schaefer, senior in political science; Jonathon Schroeder, junior in political science, and Brooke Dummermuth, junior in elementary education, are awaiting confirmation of their appointment as associate justices of the GSB supreme court. The decision is to be approved by the senate on Wednesday.

A College of Engineering senator seat is also up for confirmation at the meeting: Sarah Longner, sophomore in mechanical engineering.
