Student fees to be allocated
SG reviews budget proposals
by Patrice Koranek
Battalion Staff
The University Art Exhibits
and the MSG Council and Dire
ctorate were the last organiza
tions to make bids for allocations
of student service fees made by
the Student Government fi
nance committee. 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.
The UAE also hopes to purch
ase intrusion detectors to ex
pand its security system.

“We are looking for the best
student return on the student
dollar,” said Blaine Edwards, fi
nance committee chairman.
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.
