The Government of the Student Body senators will vote on the Finance Committee’s recommendations for spring allocations tonight, after postponing the vote to give themselves another week to research the funding cuts.

The senators voted 17-12 to postpone the vote at last Wednesday’s meeting, sending home an angry crowd of student representatives and organization advisers.

“I don’t think it is worthwhile to have each of the senators go over all the numbers,” said Phillip Greco, YMCA representative, after the meeting last week. “My group needs to get going.”

During the extra week, GSB Finance Director Jeremy Williams said about six or seven senators asked him questions about the Finance Committee’s recommendations, and he knew of only one senator who came in to listen to the tapes of the Finance Committee hearings.

The student representatives will come back to the senate meeting tonight at 7 in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union. The following will be discussed:
