to start. The Board as well as the departments and organizations housed in
the Student Center will have the opportunity to meet with the architects.
Mr. Wall, chair of the Budget Committee then gave the committee's report.
MOTION (D. Wall/M. Moylan) To establish a rollover (reserve)
account to subsidize losses on weekend dances sponsored by student
organizations with guidelines as provided in SUBOG Motion 96-32.
Discussion: it appears that income from the Info Center will not
be received until Fall of 1997; therefore, other sources of funding
this account ought to be examined for Spring 1997. A request might
be made of the Program Council Reserve (account #994100) for $200.
Motion passed (11 approved, 0 against, 0 abstained) (SUBOG 96-35)
