senate duties.
Q: What are the most important
issues facing the students you
would represent?
George: Some offices are gigan
tic, some aren’t. And I’m sure that
some people are either busting at
the seams for their space and
some people aren’t. I think (the
issues are) making sure people
have adequate representation,
getting the funding they need,
that they have the space that they
need to either have the group

grow and be more of a presence
on campus or basically use the re
sources that they have better.
Q: What is the most important
thing you should know in order to
deal with the budget process?
George: I think one of the impor
tant things is being able to work
within your means. I had to do the
IFC budget for greek life this year
and try to figure out what we have,
what is the least amount that we
can actually work with and go from
there. So, working with people,
helping people to stick within their
budgets, having a plan, sticking to
that goal of not having a deficit, and
spending the money that they
have, not spending any more. It’s
only going to hurt them in the end
if they’re going into debt. If those
means aren’t necessarily represen
tative for the group they have now
and if they need more money, try
ing to help them to get ways so that
they may ask for more money in
the future.
Jerad Nicholson, a sophomore
double majoring in journalism and
psychology, has been an ASUO out
reach and legislative intern for the
past two terms, and is the public
relations coordinator for the Com
munity Internship Program. He
said he chose to run for an EMU fi
nance position because he views
the EMU as the center of the stu
dent campus
community
and a unique
place for di
verse groups of
students to get
together.
Nicholson
did not know
the deadline
for budgeting
benchmarks.
He didn’t know
Senate Rules
Section 5 contained senate duties,
but he said the most important
duty is allocating funds and spend
ing for the surplus.
Q: What are the most important
issues facing the students you
would represent?
Nicholson: Definitely the most
important issues are increased tu
ition, access to education, which
goes right along with increased tu
Nicholson
ition, and then probably would
come just the general experience
that students have at the universi
ty. I mean, you only have a short
period of time that you can be a
university student, and I think it is
our job — one, as students, but def
initely as student representatives
— to ensure that every student has
the opportunity to have an excel
lent education and an excellent ex
perience in gaining that education.
Q: What is the most important
thing you should know in order to
deal with the budget process?
Nicholson: As a senator, proba
bly the green tape notebook and
the rules. One, as a student apply
ing for money from the senate, I
was shocked at how if you don’t
know exactly what you’re doing
and you don’t know the rules of the
process, which are extensive and
confusing, you can’t get anything
done. So the rules of the process
are probably the most important
things for a senator to understand.
