Senators Allocate $800 for Hooded Sweatshirts

As reported recently in The VanCougar, ASWSUV Senators LaPore and Herring introduced Bill 17.035 for the purchase of twelve hooded sweatshirts to promote senate awareness on campus.

As stated in the Bill, Senators are "responsible [for] 50% of the costs associated with their sweatshirts" implying that each sweatshirt costs approximately $134 (approximately $67 covered by the allocation for each sweatshirt).

It is interesting to note that while this bill was proposed and enacted as an Act to allocate funds during a budget funding crisis. A restricted amount of funds are available for student activites and this pool of money is dwindling rapidly.

The details of Bill 17.035 were published in the VanCouger on January 16, 2008 and are also available at the Office of Student Involvement.
