jf ebruarp 18, 1994 LETTERS Cont. from page 6 I ask you in all sincerity, do you feel like you have that say? Do you feel like you got your $lO5 worth of campus activities last semester? If not, I ask that you take a minute to read how the Tomlinson ticket plans to give you power over your money. Presently a committee of five or six students more or less controls that allocations of student funds. The budget committee's recommen dations have to be approved by Sen ate, but without a line-by-line sum mary, Senate usually approves that budgets blindly, faithfully following budget committee's recommenda tions. Yet, since the committee meets behind closed doors, many clubs leave Senate not fully aware of the reason behind budget cuts that can range in the thousands of dollars. We want to transfer the enormous power of the committee to the stu dent organizations. We believe that if we can combine the clubs into five different groups, we can give a con tingency fund to each group in ad dition to their individual budgets. Instead of making special request to Senate, a three-week process at best, clubs can draw on this contin gency fund for activities that were not planned a! the beginning of the year. The plan would give clubs much greater flexibility throughout the year and would give you more of a choice on how your money is being spent. For more details on our proposed reform ideas, feel free to contact ei ther Wade Tomlinson (x 3389), Gail Kasun (x 3523), Shingai Jaravaza (x 3961), or me (x 3833). Put the money back into your hands, vote Feb. 22,1994.

Would you be playing the same music if you were seven years younger? ■gl I think it's good, because it saved my ass. If they didn't have mi nuses, I would probably get a let ter grade below.
