At its meeting Wednesday, the Government of the Student Body will consider two separate funding requests, but the finance director has concerns that GSB isn’t considering its budget.

GSB Finance Director Kristi Kramer said she is concerned about the amount of money that is being handed out without opposition by the GSB senate.

“Overall, I’m a little concerned with the senate and if they understand the vastness of the budget problems we’ve had in the last several years,” Kramer said.

She said many of the funding bills that have been passed by the senate have been pushed through without many, if any, “no” votes. If the approval of allocation of funds to groups becomes too high in volume, Kramer said, this may bring about pressure upon GSB when it tries to allocate money to groups during the regular and special allocations sessions.

One of the spending bills on Wednesday’s agenda has GSB asking itself for money to attend a conference.

GSB Vice President William Rock said nine GSB members will attend the Big XII Leadership Conference from Oct. 14 to 16 in Lincoln, Neb.

The bill requests $603.93 for the trip. Initially, seven GSB members were to attend the conference, he said, but because of an increase in popularity, more money is needed to fund two extra members.

Rock said allocation of money for the conference allows Iowa State to be involved in the meeting of student governments to discuss issues concerning their respective universities.

“We’ve got a couple of senators going, a couple of cabinet members and a couple of ambassadors going,” Rock said. “It’s a pretty good mix of students.”

He said the increased popularity highlights the character of the senate.

“This year’s senate is really excited to do things,” he said.

Last year, Rock said, only two GSB members represented Iowa State at the conference in Waco, Texas.

Rock said he went to the conference with GSB President Sophia Magill.

Magill has been pushing for an increased representation of Iowa State’s GSB in Lincoln, Rock said.

Rock said he anticipates this year’s meeting to revolve around athletic regulations, fan sportsmanship and tuition.

He said the conference might discuss the “no pass outs” policy that many Big 12 universities are attempting to implement. The policy states that fans who leave sporting events during the process of a game would not be allowed back in.

Also, Rock, said there may be discussion on how to handle situations where fans rush the field after football games.

This will be almost the only communication the Big 12 universities will have together throughout the year, Rock said.

In addition, the senate will look at a bill that asks for $419.52 for the Iowa State Celtic Dance Society so it can travel to a festival will be looked at.

A bill to seat a new chief justice for GSB will also be brought up.

The meeting is at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union.
