Battalion/Page 3 February 11, 1983 local udget requests to be reviewed Funding hearings begin Sunday by Kelley Smith ; Battalion Staff jj.The Student Government Fi nance Committee will begin hearings Sunday to review stu dent service fees and budgets for the programs that receive student fees. About $2.5 million will be allocated. Budget requests have been made by the student legal advis er, the shuttle bus system, Stu dent Publications, the Student Counseling Center, the interna tional student adviser, the MSC Council and Directorate, intra mural and extramural sports, A.P. Beutel Health Center, Stu dent Activities and Student Gov ernment. The Study Abroad Program and University Art Ex hibits also may be added to the student service fee funding, i It is the finance committee’s job to evaluate these units, the services each provides, their equipment and personnel, their current budgets and their new budget requests, said Blaine Ed wards, committee chairman. The research then is documented and used to deter mine budget allocations. “The students on the commit tee are interested in Finding areas that most effectively use the student service fee dollars,” Edwards said. “They have been doing a fantastic job of going in, researching and finding out what’s going on.” Committee members also have been talking with students about student service fees and services that are offered. Ed wards said the committee has re ceived varied opinions. “That’s why the hearings are so important — it’s the students’ chance to do something about it,” he said. At the hearings, committee members will present their re search. Representatives from each department will be there to speak about their budgets and give justifications for new re quests. The hearings will continue through Friday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. each day. Hearings on Thursday and Friday also will be from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday’s meeting will be held in 401 Rudder, Monday and Tuesday’s in 140 MSC. Wednes day, Thursday, and Friday’s evening meetings will be in the MSC conference room. Thurs day and Friday afternoon hear ings will be in the Association of Former Students’ Lounge. Students are invited to attend any of the meetings and partici pate in the discussions, Edwards said. On Saturday, Feb. 19, the committee will begin the alloca tion process. Then the commit tee will recommend approval of the new student service budgets and the student service fee for the 1983-84 academic year to the Student Senate during its Feb. 23 meeting. If the Senate approves the recommendations, the budget goes to Vice Presi dent for Student Services John J. Koldus. He checks to make sure the budgets and fees comp ly with state guidelines and makes necessary changes. Once the budget receives Kol dus’ approval, the recommenda tions are sent to President Frank E. Vandiver and then to the Texas A&M Board of Regents for final approval. Texas A&M is one of the few universities with a student group working in the budgeting process, Edwards said. “This is one of the most important com mittees on campus. What we do affects every student from now on.” Edwards said most areas in the student services programs are expecting moderate in creases. He added that there probably will be an increase in the student service fee, but the value of the cost far exceeds the amount of money paid. “You can go in any area and get the money back through minor participation,” he said. “It’s up to the students to get what they want out of it.” Graham Central Station Needs a campus representative.
