In open meet ings Friday afternoon, the com mittee reviewed the proposed budgets of those two groups. The coordinator of the Uni versity Art Exhibits, a part of the Cultural Programs Develop ment office, requested an alloca tion of about $30,000, which is what the UAE received last year. Joe R. Arredondo Jr., coordi nator, said UAE plans include the establishment of a museum on campus. A temporary com- ha University President Frank E. Vandiver to study the museum proposal. Texas A&M ranks near the bottom in terms of art compared to other universities across the state, Arredondo said. The UAE usually presents four exhibits each year. Money is needed to rent the exhibits, supply security at the showings and provide transportation for the exhibits, Arredondo said.

Expenses incurred by the MSC committees often result from speakers who visit the Uni versity. Many times, a written contract states that a speaker will be taken to dinner in return for his presentation, the MSC Council president Todd Nor wood said. Transportation fees often are included too. Professional fees for commit tees like MSC Town Hall, Poli tical Forum and Great Issues also make up a large percentage of the expenses for the council, Norwood said. MSC Director James R. Reynolds also answered ques tions from the finance commit tee concerning allocations made to the administrative branch of the MSC Council. Wages and salaries for people working in the Browsing Library, Craft Center and Finance Office are some of the expenses Reynolds outlined. Reynolds said the money spent on MSC programs is an investment in the future because many of the students who are influenced by MSC programs become major contributors to the Memorial Student Center. The MSC Videotape Com mittee made a special bid for funds. The committee has drawn up plans for the Texas A&rM University Student Enter tainment Network, which would be a student-oriented cable tele vision station broadcast to all re sidence halls and lounges on campus. The group asked the finance committee to approve the allocation of $25,289 of stu dent service fees for the creation of TAMSEN. The finance committee voted on all requests for student ser vice fee allocations during a closed meeting on Saturday. It’s decision will be forwarded to Vice President for Student Ser vices Dr. John L. Koldus. From there the request moves to Van diver and then to the Texas A&M Board of Regents. pip pip pip pip pip pip pip pip p|p pip pip pip pt^ pi#» pt/* pi/* *A* pi/* p^ pi/* p|m piA^Sn* MSC HOSPITALITY PRESENTS -Scftofiirsmy FRIDAY, 700 PM 1985 RUDDER AUDITORIUM TICKETS ON SALE NOW Students & Senior Citizens s 3 50 — Non-students $ 6 00 AVAILABLE AT MSC BOX OFFICE Around RHA gets school of the year award Texas A&M hosted the Texas Residence Hall Assodnl convention this past weekend.
