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.”
