officers (answer: 14), and what is
the most important part of Senate
Rules Section 5, which lists sena
tors’ duties?
Andrew Faust did not respond to
repeated requests for an interview.
Laura Schulthies is a junior jour
nalism major. She didn’t know the
senate’s quorum requirement to
elect officers, but she did know that
Senate Rules Section 5 included
senate duties.
Q: How will you figure out how to
spend the surplus?
Schulthies: Well, I want to work
with the girl who is currently hold
ing the office. And I’m going to try
and attend some of their current
meetings to see where they’re going,
because I know that they have al
ready established a plan. And a
source to where they want to work
in the same direction and deal with
the same people and just continue
their goals. So I want to be able to go
in, take over what they’re doing and
just do the best that I can and try to
make it — you know, make the
funds go as far as they can and be as
effective as they can be.
Q: How do you plan on interact
ing with student groups?
Sehulthies: Well, I know a lot of
people in greek life and also in other
different groups around the Univer
sity, and so I would just really pick
up my involvement with them and
maybe try and contact them on a
monthly basis see how they feel
about what’s going on and if they’re
informed on it. Just try to keep
everybody up to date on what’s go
ing on. So they appreciate it more
and understand it better.
Q; What are the most important is
sues facing the
students you’d
represent?
Schulthies:
Well, athletes
have a lot of is
sues in my
opinion. They
are always in
all of our sports
that are pre
sented by the
University and
also the Club Sports, they’re always
pushing for more funds and stretch
ing their budgets as much as they
can just because we are limited to
the funds that we’re allotted. And so
really I would just try to find out
what their biggest needs are and
what their biggest concerns are and
meet those to the best of my ability.

be slightly lower.
University Director of Admissions
Martha Pitts said it was possible that
the increase could affect enroll
ment, but she added the University
was working with student financial
aid packages to help ensure ade
quate funding for needy students.
Elizabeth Bickford, director of
the University Financial Aid Office,
said the federal financial aid pro
gram has failed to keep pace with
rising tuition costs. Bickford added
that this inadequacy has placed ad
ditional stress on the students and
the University.
According to the OUS 2003-04
proposed tuition rates fact sheet, all
OUS schools will set aside $6.1 mil
lion to fund financial aid for low-in
come students.
The University Financial Aid Of
fice has already received an on
slaught of student aid applications.
Roughly 200 more applications
have already been received than at
this time last year, Bickford said.
“We have grant money for the
neediest students, and basically all
students can apply for federal
loans,” she said, adding that federal
loans, however, have failed to keep
up with tuition increases.
Current University students should
receive notification of their federal fi
nancial aid awards by April 15.

“Like a lot of venues, I think it is a
really good opportunity for musi
cians to play,” he said. “There’s al
ways a fun crowd, particularly on
opening day.”
Still agreed.
“The thing that makes the market
very different from a clubhouse or a
bar is that it’s outdoors, where there
is sort of an unusual, wide audience,
from kids to grandparents,” Still
said. “There are all ranges of income
and interests.”
She added that bands can often
build a fan base from their market
performances.
“Your chances of finding someone
who just loves your music are pretty
good,” she said. “It always amazes
me. ... There’s always somebody.
Sometimes lots of somebodies.”
