News Editor The Council of Representatives (COR) Budget Committee approved the allocation of 57% ofthe funds requested from 31 student clubs and organizations for the Spring Semester on Monday, Feb. 28. Six organizations that requested money were not considered for funds because of failure to register their programs and events in the Office of Student Activities master calendar. "Some clubs and organizations didn't register in the master calendar, therefore were not considered for funding. The information was released to them to make them aware that this is part of the policy of COR," COR President junior Jon Collard said. COR Treasurer sophomore Tzvetelina Katrova felt confident that all the organizations received enough funds. "It worked out pretty good. We tried to understand what people needed so that we could fund them as much as possible," Katrova said. "We met almost all the needs ofthe clubs, and I think everybody got what they needed." According to Katrova, COR left additional funds open for any additional requests by organizations. The organizations that did not register in the master calendar may re-submit a bill at any time, once their events are registered, to be reconsidered for funding. "These clubs and organizations unfortunately miss out and are not given first priority. We try to do our budgeting at a specific time," Collard said. "We want to reward those clubs that went through the process the right way. We want them to know that this is the proper way to do things." Clubs and organizations had to submit a budget plan that detailed what the money requested was needed for. COR requested that clubs and organizations submit a budget plan for programs and events in order of importance. They were limited to three events that would be considered for the allocation of funds. Organizations can resubmit a request for any additional events. "It's a way for us to make sure that the event can take place and that faculty advisors are aware of the events. My goal as president was that budgeting and issues would be fair and distributed fairly," Collard said. The Budget Committee consisted of COR members senior Mary Beth Griffin, sophomore Luis Flores and non-COR members junior Frank Martinez and freshman Erica Gomez. Katrova was the chair of the committee. 'The committee advises the treasurer [in] the funding requests. We take into consideration the budget and policies [when] we make our recommendations," Griffin said. One of the largest amounts requested was from the Asian Student Association (A.S.A.), which received 95 percent of what the organization requested. According to Griffin, A.S.A. was approved for the amount, mainly because it acted in accordance with proper COR policies and the reputation of its events, such as long-run- See FINANCE, page 6 COR Spring Funding 2000 Clubs and Organizations Requested Alpha Psi Omega $899.00 Asian Student Association $7,445.00 B-Glad $270.00 Black Student Union $2,903.15 Career Services $ 1,020.00 Career Services (II) $948.23 Chemistry Club $460.00 Chinese Club $2,320.00 Hispanic Student Assoc. $7,230.00 Ionian Society $750.00 Lancer Society $7,715.00 Martial Arts Club $1,575.00 MEChA $3,221.00 National Omicron Psi $265.00 GuhdgG^u:!
