News brief
Senate approves
funds for KWVA
celebration, engineer
The ASUO Student Senate ap
proved a transfer of #1,320 from
Senate surplus to a remote engineer
ing account for KWVA campus radio.
These funds will be used to pay for
the station’s upcoming 10th birth
day celebration and for a remote
broadcasting engineer at this week’s
ASUO Street Faire.
KWVA needs the funds to pay the
engineer for monitoring all live broad
casts according to FGG regulations,
KWVA general manager Charlotte
Nisser said. She added that remote
broadcasts are not only beneficial for
students but for people around the
world who can time in to the broad
cast through the Internet.
An APASU request was approved
to transfer funds from its Asian Her
itage Month account to its food ac
count to be used for food during the
month’s events.
The Senate elected Eric Bailey as
ombudsman. Bailey said he would
like to increase the Senate’s out
reach to students by having senators
hold office hours in their respective
schools. He said that his past experi
ence as ombudsman will help him
with his new position.
The Senate also passed a resolu
tion in support of the current
method of distributing student inci
dental fees. It also discussed a new
rule that states that senators must
contact the person who will be re
placing them the following year.
The Senate also discussed the use
of a senator’s title to endorse elec
tion candidates, resulting in no
change in current policy.
Senate administrative assistant
Karyn Gillbert resigned.
