If this situation arises again
this year, each group will be asked
to send a representative on March
3,4 or 5 to explain their financial
plan to the committee.
Presentations will last ten min
utes and will consist of two parts
including the explanation and a
question and answer period.
During the first five minutes,
the representative may present or
review anything which will per
suade the committee to give them
more funds.
The second half of the presen
tation will allow the committee to
question the real needs of the orga
nization.
“We try to ask them to try to
prioritize their budget so that we
don’t cut something that is vital to
their organization,” said Richter.
The Budget Committee will
meet with the SGA Senate after it
reaches its decision.
Final decisions are then made
based upon the size of the group,
the organization’s financial history,
and the previous management of
their budget.
Following the senatorial votes
which take place on March 12, the
results of the the SGA budget for
1998-99 will be made public and
organizations will be expected to
plan accordingly.
from SIDEWALK, page 1
The Town of Elon College as
well as the college are joining
forces with SGA to build these
sidewalks in order to create a safer
atmosphere.
The total cost of the sidewalk
is estimated at $22,550; however,
SGA will only be responsible for
$7,517.
“This gives us [SGA] an op
portunity for us to ‘leave a mark’”,
SGA President Ashton Newhall
said about the decision.
SGA’s portion will come out
of the rollover account, an account
comprised of organizational left
overs, which currently stands at
approximately $63,000.
An SGA senator said that pro
crastination may not be wise as
Safe Rides was not formed until
after the death of an Elon indi
vidual.
Maintenance of the new side
walk will be kept by the Town of
Elon College and there is the possi
bility of trashcans lining the facil
ity.

Elon College students can now
sit down to eat their lunch with a
new sense of pride.
Elon college food services
were recently chosen by the
ARAMARK Corporation as one of
their most distinguished and out
standing accounts in the United
States. Chosen from over a hun
dred possible candidates, Elon was
one of several used in recent na
tional ads seen in Time, Business
World and U.S. News and World
Reports.
Neil Bromilow, director of
construction management, Gerald
Whittington, vice president for busi
ness and finance, and Jeff Gazda,
director of dining services for Elon,
all appear in the College Coffee
photo on the full page ad.
The advertisement will be run
in the same magazines several more
times this year until a new
ARAMARK account is chosen for
recognition.
In addition to colleges and
universities, the corporation also
has accounts with locations such as
Camden Yards in Baltimore and
Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh.
Succeeding last year’s winners
such as Clemson University, Elon
College now seems to be getting
the publicity it needs.
Gazda said he believes this was
all well deserved. “Our goal is to
give the students what they pay for
to the best of our ability,” he said.
