Finance bill could be rewritten
By JULIE MANGAN Staff Reporter
After weeks of Student Senate fighting about a finance restructuring bill that was rejected last week, some Senate members and officers think another version will be written soon.
Jeff Polack, student body vice president, said some senators had expressed interest in revising the bill.
The original bill, sponsored by William Easley, student body president, would have given non-revenue code groups a one-time allocation for administrative costs, such as rent, utilities and advertising.
In a compromise move that failed to win passage for the bill, an amendment was added Thursday night to finance the groups based on
the amount of money each group could raise to match a Senate allocation.
NON-REVENUE CODE groups, such as the Solar Energy Club, are small student organizations that receive Senate funds annually. They generally receive less than $1,000 a year.
The amended version of the bill was five votes short of the two-thirds needed to change the Senate rules and regulations, Polack said. Any change in the method of financing student groups requires a change in Senate rules and regulations.
He said the close vote was frustrating because five senators who had said they would be in favor of the bill left the meeting 10 to 15 minutes before the final vote was taken at 12:35 a.m. Friday.
POLACK SAID HE was astounded that the compromise bill did not pass.
But Tim Boller, holdover senator and one of the authors of the compromise amendment to the finance bill, said he voted against the bill because it needed more work.
He was even more surprised that one of the senators who helped write Thursday's amendment voted against the bill in the final vote, he said.
He said he had volunteered to help write an amendment because he thought that some version of the bill would pass the Senate on Thursday.

ON THE RECORD
Even though he liked the compromise version of the bill better than the original, Boller said, he voted against it because he thought the senators needed to take more time to improve the bill.
