News brief
Technicality halts group’s
financial request
In a meeting that lasted about four
hours Wednesday, the ASUO Student
Senate gave more than $4,000 in spe
cial requests that significantly dip into
its allotted budget for spring term,
spent well over an hour debating a sin
gle agenda item and listened to an out
spoken community member speak
about his opinions on funding a certain
student group.
Grupo de Capoeira, a Brazilian Mar
tial Arts student and community group
that seeks to promote Brazilian culture,
came to the Senate with a request for
$300 to help fund a traditional Brazil
ian ceremony they are hosting called a
Batizado. Group members ended up
engaged in a frustrating, confusing and
lengthy deliberation with the Senate in
an effort to determine the group’s eligi
bility to receive funding from student
incidental fees. A major part of the dis
cussion was whether a group can be
funded with incidental fees if it charges
members to participate in activities,
which Grupo de Capoeira currendy
does. There was also a technicality that
led to further confusion about whether
the group could be funded by the
ASUO Senate at all.
Senate Ombudsman Andy Elliott cit
ed the rule that showed the group was
not eligible to receive the $300. ASUO
Vice President Ben Buzbee said he was
extremely disappointed that the sena
tor who signed the special request did
not realize it was clearly against senate
rules, and subsequendy wasted a signif
icant amount of both the Senate and
the group representatives’ time.
The Senate also approved a request
for $4,150 from the representatives for
the law school’s Land Water Air confer
ence that starts today. The money covers
the traveling expenses incurred in bring
ing one of the keynote speakers from
Africa to participate in the conference.
The senate confirmed three ap
pointments: senior biology major Abo
lade Majekobaje filled seat 16, which is
for science majors. Freshman Michelle
Rose is the new elections director on
the ASUO Elections Board and sopho
more Laura Jenkins is an elections
board member.
One of the more interesting items in
the meeting’s agenda was a statement
from community member Bruce
Miller. He spoke in support of defunding
student group OSPIRG because he said
it does not do anything that significant
ly benefits fee-paying students.
“The money just goes down the
drain,” Miller said.

he said. But, “I would not trade this
year for anything. ”
Pilliod said students should realize
that running for a political position is a
lot of work.
“While the position has a lot of
professional benefits, there are tons
of sacrifices that people will never
know about that are part of the posi
tion,” she said.
She added that students should
only run for office if they’re serious
about the experience, willing to sacri
fice their personal time and can han
dle their personal life being placed un
der scrutiny.
“If I wanted to build my resume, I
would have stayed in classes, gotten
straight A’s and slept more,” she said.
“People should seriously think about
the amount of personal time and pri
vate life they’re giving up.”

member who is a triple major and
