"USSA should have an inde pendent campus leadership." Collins Puente recently left to work for the USSA in Washing ton, D.C. as an intern. Whether the ASUO will freeze USSA's funds is uncertain, said Liu. adding that Francis Neo, ASUO finance coordinator, has commented that he sees no rea son to freeze the account while auditing the group. "It's now out of the hands of the IFC and up to the ASUO." Liu said. Neo was not at Tuesday night's IFC meeting Though Liu said the IFC would need an audit to find fur ther examples of alleged mis management. Troy Shields, an active member of 1 SSA. told the Emrrald last week that he made several long distance phone calls on his USSA account but paid those hack at a later time. Further charges leveled by the IFC include funding the group for campus activities that never materialized.

About 10U Amazon units remain unoccupied because the University has not given up the option to demolish and rebuild. "It's one of the alternatives we are looking at." Kyster said. "We won't let go of the possibility," Kyster said he expects that housing administrators, hav ing taken the community's input into consideration, will make a decision and announce the fate of Amazon sometime in late February or early March.
