For Canoe Fete
The Canoe Fete committee pe

proved Wednesday by the Stu

ties Budget committee, accord
ing to secretary A. L. Ellingson.
A statement of policy was also
made by the budget board con
cerning petitions for allocating
of fee money to various organi
zations. The group, in effect,
stated they would hear petition
ers only from those boards or
committees whose names now ap
pear on the budget committee
list. The organizations now on
that list arc: ASUO Senate. SU
board, publications board, foren
sics, music and assemblies.
Any other group wishing to
petition for fee money must have
their case reviewed by one of
the above boards and be recom
mended to the budget board by
the reviewer.
We do not want to decide for
students where fee money is to
go,” Ellingson stated. “We want
to be a budget board, not a gov
erning board for all campus or
ganizations,” he added.
In reference to this policy the
budget board referred an AWS
petition back to the Senate for
review and recommendation.
