Wednesday night’s Government of the Student Body Senate meeting closed with a playful warning.

“This is going to be the shortest meeting of the year, so enjoy it,” said GSB Senate Speaker Jonathan Richardson.

In a rare meeting that lasted under an hour, the Senate heard one new bill.

The bill would reallocate funding to Sketch so it can be published this fall.

“It’s basically a reallocation of funds, since they didn’t get the money spent in time,” said GSB Finance Director Jason Carroll.

Through an oversight within the organization, Sketch did not spend its allocated budget funding in time and forfeited the funds. GSB will vote on the bill at next week’s meeting.

The Senate also heard several reports and presentations, beginning with an address from GSB President Emily Jensen.

Jensen said the Executive Cabinet is working on arranging transportation for students to attend the Iowa gubernatorial debates.

“Funding for higher education has really decreased for the past few years, so it’s very important that students are represented,” she said.

Carroll followed Jensen’s address, and reported that GSB is in the process of donating used computers to a few campus organizations that had requested them.

Ashley Hackler, graduate student in psychology, also reported to the Senate on Students Supporting Health and Recovery Efforts, a new student organization she is in the process of creating.

Hackler said she was inspired to create SHARE after witnessing the wreckage left by Hurricane Katrina.

The meeting was adjourned in a possible record time, to the apparent delight of the Senators and the audience.

Takiyah Abdulmalik, junior in food science, was the only ISU student in attendance for the second week in a row.
