Senate debate
likely on new
SST funds bill
WASHINGTON tfft—A House-
Senate conference Thursday
night approved a $210 million ap-
propnsuon to develop a super
sonic transport plane.
The money is $00 million less
than the total requested by Pres
ident Nixon, approved by the
House but rejected by the Sen
ate. i
The decision is sure to touch
off a battle on the Senate floor
where sens tors opposed to any
SST spending have vowed a fili
buster rather than allow the bill
to become law.
tha CSC wanted to have these
elections with the fall elections,
but they couldn't get their by
laws straightened out on the
qualifications until week before
last.
Bedinger said the Election
Committee is taking what steps
it can to insure an honest elec
tion, even though it is by maB.
He said nomination blanks wars
mailed to all graduate students
last week, and the committee will
check student identification num
bers against the name on each
ballot in next week’s election. He
added he doesn’t expect this to
be much of a job, though, unless
more graduate students vote
than usual.

Senate proposes new
fees allocation system
By BILL GOULD
Battaiiea Staff Writer
The Student. Senate Thursday
night passed a resolution estab
lishing s committee to make rec
ommendations to the Senate re
garding the assessment and al
location of student services fses.
The resolution originally was
tabled for consideration at the
Senate's next meeting in January.
Senate Treasurer Eddie Ehiryea
emphasized the urgency of the
resolution, and after deliberation
it was passed by a comfortable
margin.
* * Campus orgdhJsations or groups
requesting money from the stu
dent services fees would do so
< through the proposed committee,
under the new resolution.
Ths committee will work with
the administration and the Sen
ate in making budget allocation
recommendations. Also provided
for in the resolution is a meeting
between the university president
and the Senate prior to approv
ing the allocation of fees.
Final action on tha rasolution
will be taken at the next Senate
meeting in January, following a
conference! between Tom Cherry,
university )rice president for bus
iness sffaBs, and reprseentati' es
of the Senate Executive Commit
tee.

tion Feedback wars discussed. Re
sponse, while not as good as hop
ed for, was still far greater than
in previous attempts, according
to Public Relations Chairman
James O’Jibway.
The Senate also passed a reso
lution commending the “Good
Guys" student group for its re
cent community welfare project
The students had repainted
Travis Elementary School during
the Bonfire weekend as an “alter
native” to working on the Bon
fire.
Before peering the resolution,
the Senate voted to delete the
phrase “for thorn not wishing to
work on the Bonfire activity",
from the description of the proj
ect's purpose
Robert Riggs (sr-Arch), who
proposed the resolution in its
originial form, said he thinks the
Senate “has once again practiced
its well-known watering-down
process.”
Ben CUria psoxy for Murk
Jarvis (aoph-Eng) and a member
of the student group which ra-
painted the school, said after the
meeting the Senate had managed
to “recogniM the group but evade
the issues involved, as wall as the
convictions and baliefs of the
group.”
The originator of the “Good
Guys” group, David Darcus, said
the Senate might possibly have
missed the entire point of the
group’s activity.
"This was not just another
service project, but a specific al
ternative to working on the Bon
fire. I am disappointed that the
PMeed in hs
amended form.”
