Early spending by Senate not a worry
Last year, Senate had approved $30,365 after two full sessions, or 26 percent of its unallocated account. Money from the unallocated account funds events, speakers and other activities sponsored by student groups. It also pays for general costs associated with those groups and costs associated with Senate.

The largest amount approved so far this year was $19,100 in salary increases for members of the Student Executive Committee.
Despite the early spending spree, Pishny said Senate should have enough money to last through the school year.
Money for the unallocated account comes from a $15.50 activity fee paid by all students as a required campus fee.
What appeared to have been an early spending spree in Student Senate was nothing more than business as usual, said treasurer Erin Pishny.
Pishny said allocating such a large percentage of Senate's available funds at the beginning of the semester was typical. Even so, she said shed like senators to be more meticulous before voting to approve funding.
Senate allocated $35,467, or 30 percent, of funds available to student groups during its first two sessions.
"I would just caution people to really look at the bills," said Pishny, a senior from Lenexa. "I would like to see more questioning of people in finance [committee] and in full Senate."
"I don't really see it being a problem," Pishny said. "We have a good amount of money unallocated to
fund the projects that students have on campus."
SENATE TO WORK ON A MISSION STATEMENT
HOW TO JOIN THE SENATE TASKFORCE
Student Body President Michael Wade Smith announced the formation of a new taskforce designated to create a Student Senate mission statement Wednesday.
Senate committees each elected two members to the President's Taskforce on Mission, History and Vision on Wednesday night. Smith said he would choose two students unaffiliated with Senate to also be members.
Smith said he was shocked when he first realized Senate didn't have a formal mission statement. He said it was an integral piece of any organization's success.
"We want to make sure that Senate is keeping campus moving forward." Smith said. "To do that you need to have something that's creating that vision and that purpose for you."
Smith said he'd like to see a completed mission statement by mid-November.
Students interested in joining the President's Taskforce on Mission, History and Vision should send an e-mail to Michael Wade Smith at michaelwadesmith@gmail.com.
"As long as we display it, read it and know it, it's going to inform the decisions we make for a lot of years to come," Smith said.

"It's like seeing 30 of the best Broadway
