The proposal for the Student
Govemment Association’s (SGA)
budget for the fall semester of
1996 has been released.
The SGA was allotted $41,200
for this semester. After dispers
ing the money to 17 different
clubs and organizations, and
spending $39,462.25, the SGA
was left with a contingency of
$1,737.75 for an unforeseeable
event or circumstance.
The process in which an orga
nization is given monetary fund
ing is done every year. The club
that is requesting money from the
SGA is required to document
what its budget for the year will
look like. That club must show
how each cent is to be spent.
With the ever growing atten
dance at Wesleyan College, each
dollar becomes more important.
Furthermore each dollar needs to
be spent wiser, SGA officials ac
knowledge.
The funds were spread be
tween 17 different clubs and or
ganizations based on the indi-

New RD was restless in Seattle
By MONICA ALSTON
Resident Director Stacie
Hanson has flown from afar to
land her feet on Wesleyan’s cam
pus grounds. After her long haul
from Seattle, Wash., she settled
here to provide her helpful assis
tance concerning improvements
for the student life of residents at
South Hall.
Stacie’s past, as well as work
history, has not always been as
sociated with campus residential
affiliation. She worked as an RA
while completing her B.A. in po
litical science at the University of
Washington, but after graduation
found herself in a marketing as
sistant position at Reed McClure
Law Firm in Seattle. It took only
a short while to experience what
it was like to be away from her
previous surroundings, and make
the desicion to retum to what she
was most famililar with.
So Stacie attended Seattle Uni
versity to obtain a Master in Edu
cation degree in Student Devel
opment Theory. During that time
she enjoyed working with the
registrar’s office as well as work
concerning residential life.
Quite excited to have an op
portunity to be back in the social
aura of campus life after graduat
ing from Seattle University, Stacie
gladly took an interview with
Wesleyan’s Student Life Depart
ment. Hurricane Fran couldn’t
even prevent her from attending.
She was committed to the idea
of the transition when she gave
up her two adorable cats and
poodle to travel over 3,0(X) miles
with husband Chris. She fought
the winds of Fran on her flight
from Charlotte to Rocky Mount
to be ready for the date of her
interview.
Stacie willingly admits to her
preference to work with students
instead of the marketing business.
Even after a promotion to a man
ager position, after her first job in
the field, she still had rather be
with the fun and communion-type
services of college campus life.
Even though this is her first
year at Wesleyan, Stacey is eager
to learn more so that her abilities
will contribute most effectively
to the betterment of activities and
services available, including those
which aid in the retention of the
freshman classes to graduate from
