Budget Passes Senate
The Senate Meeting of
October 11, 1977 was called
to order by Vice-President
Eddy Thomas at 3:44 p.m.
in the Student Government
Office. Senators present
were: Skeele, Gardner,
Mundy, Williams, Reed,
Smith, Neuschaefer, Harvey,
Parham, Kent and Pen!and.
Others present were John
Putnam, Bill Branham, Dar
rell Parker, Randy Luguire
and Steve Eller.
The first item on the
agenda was announcements
by the chairman, Eddy Thomas
first pointed out that
no alcohol was to be on
the second floor of Lipin-
ski Student Center. He
then apologized for getting
involved in debate last
week as the chairman must
remain silent. Also, he
reminded the senators to be
prompt in showing up for
the meetings. He also in
formed the senators that
their rudeness shown thus
far to visitors must cease.
(See the related editorial.)
Mr. Thomas then read the
resignation letter from ex-
dorm senator Steve Eller.
Steve felt that he had to
resign because the senate
no longer had the interest
of the student body in
mind and was failing to
represent its constituency.
Bill #8, the Student Govern
ment Budget, presented last
week by Gerry Parham and
seconded by Steve Eller pas
sed unanimously after short
debate.
The budget was printed in
last week's Ridgerunner, but,
here is a synopis:
$3112.50 tentative social
budget for re
mainder of the
semester
995.00 S.G. office, in
cluding $450 for
travel to the
NCASG (North
Carolina Asso
ciation of Stu
dent Govern
ment) meeting,
