Senate
Revises
SGA
Budget
February 19, the Stu
dent Senate assembled to
approve a revised budget
for the 1969-70 SGA fis
cal year. The greatest a-
mount of controvery a-
rose from the Liberal
Arts Forum.
SGA Pres. Lee Loy
prefaced the discussion
of the new budget by say
ing, “The SGA has done
little for the majority of
the students this year;
it has appealed only to
a small minority of indi
viduals. I feel what they
want is more entertain
ment in the form of a big
Spring Weekend. The stu
dents have been forgot
ten too long.” After some
heated discussion on the
budget, Mr. Loy’s wishes
came true. The largest
amount of money was cut
from the LAF budget,
and is presently at the
figure of $5,008.24. This
is compared to the last
year’s budget of
