Senate hands out
$20395 of surplus
■ Student Senate votes to
keep preseason ticket prices
low and funds an Ad Club trip
By Emily Gust

If students want to attend the
Sep. 1 football season opener
against Wisconsin, they’ll have to
shell out $4.50
to get in the
door.
But that’s
still less than
what it could
have been.
In the past,
tickets for
non-confer
ence games
have been free to students. But ris
ing ticket values mean the Athletic
Department can no longer afford
the free tickets, and other options
on the table would have required
students to pay up to $15 per ticket
for the two games before school
starts.
University
Senate
The Athletic Department Fi
nance Committee, which handles
the amount of money the depart
ment receives from the student in
cidental fee, managed to lower that
number. The committee only had
to find a little more than $22,000
from other sources to make the de
partment agree.
The deal needed to be sealed
during the ASUO Student Senate
meeting Wednesday night — and it
was, as the senate granted the
ADFC $10,000 out of the general
surplus. The remaining $12,000 is
coming from the McArthur Court
subsidy.
The major debate of the meeting,
however, was not the ADFC’s re
quest of $10,000, but the Ad Club’s
request of $10,395. The request was
turned into the senate Monday af
ternoon, which aroused concern
and triggered a two-minute recess
minutes after the meeting began.
Senate rules dictate that all re
quests over $999 must be submitted
to the senate at least one week in
advance. And senior political sci
ence major Alan Tauber argued that
another rule, 12.5, states the senate
cannot suspend its rules for any
reason — which is what some sena
tors suggested doing in order to
hear the Ad Club’s request.
“Can’t do it — too bad, so sad,”
Tauber said, standing up. “See you
next week.”
But many of the senators dis
agreed.
Senate President Peter Watts said
not only has the senate set prece
dent for disregarding the one-week
rule, but that minutes earlier the
body had voted to hear the ADFC’s
request, which also came in less
than one week in advance.
Watts said that what the senate
does for one group, it must do for the
other — regardless of whether they
are major or minor programs. And in
the end, the majority of the senate
agreed, granting the Ad Club’s re
quest.
