Senate budget not ready yet
Midterms hold up finance committee
By Michael Christie
Kansan staff writer
The final part of a long budget process is not going as fast as it originally appeared it might for the Student Senate Finance Committee.
The finance committee has managed to stay ahead of schedule in recommending the allocation of student money for the next two years, but it is having trouble finishing the process.
"I think that midterms really hurt us," said Troy Radakovich, finance committee co-chairperson.
Radakovich said that the committee was not behind schedule but that reaching a quorum had become a problem.
Senate rules and regulations require that Senate complete the
budget process by the end of March.
Arlan Mattyt, committee member, said the numerous meetings from the beginning of the semester to spring term and frazed the committee members.
"The way it is packed in, the meetings at the beginning were intensified," he said. "I don't think it is a big deal." The other girls when they need to be done, it's fine.
Student organizations that are requesting financing from Senate next year presented their requests to the finance committee in meetings conducted before the break, but the committee has not voted on recommended allocations to the organizations.
A meeting last night was the first time the student organization budgees were discussed by committee members. The committee discussed how it might catch the requests, which exceed the amount Senate
voted to allocate to all student organizations by about $40,000.
Maltby said he thought the committee's budget recommendations would be made by the next meeting.
The committee has completed its recommended Senate budget for the next two years, and Senate has approved the budget for next year. The finance committee now must be assembled in such a manner it will recommend be allocated to the individual student organizations that request financing annually.
A scheduled meeting Monday evening failed to produce a quorum, which means the committee could not meet. No one was not enough members, were present.
The meeting had been scheduled at the beginning of the semester, along with more than 20 other meetings that the committee has conducted.
The committee is scheduled to meet next Tuesday.

Mellon fellowships awarded to five Kansas students
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — A KU student and two Kansas State University graduates were among five winners from Kansas of Mellon Fellowships in the Humanities, school officials said.
KU's Margaret Baptist, Leawood senior, was one of the fellowship recipients along with K-State's Mark Schmeller and Amy Brooks, both of Hays, who won the prestigious scholarships for history and English respectively, a statement released yesterday said.
Kansas State had one previous Mellon winner in 1987.
The other Kansans were Yeon KU of Salina, a Yale senior, and Rebecca Ruhlen of Baldwin City, a May 1990 graduate of Trinity College.
Only 12 Mellon Fellowships were awarded in the Midwest, according to a Kansas State release.
The Mellon Fellowship provides a cash stipend of $11,500 plus tuition and fees for one year of graduate study. The fellowships are renewable for a second year, plus a stipend is available for those continuing work for dissertations.
