The student senate met Nov. 19 and passed a resolution that will extend library hours until 2 a.m. during prep and finals weeks.
President/Regent-elect Michael Crabb introduced the resolution. None of the funds to keep the library open the extra two hours will come from the student government, he said. It will be funded by the library's budget.
There are two funds in student government, the contingency fund and the operational fund. The contingency fund is a reserve fund to protect against losses. The operational account is an active account.
Executive treasurer Shari Tangeman broke down the Student Government's budget in a spreadsheet.
In Tangeman's breakdown of the accounts, the contingency fund has $10,000. Student Government has spent $480 on eight hockey buses so far.
The operational budget is made up of several items including the copier fee, postage, printing, publishing, a secretary salary and the student government retreat, Tangeman said. She said so far $37,000 has been spent of the allocated $168,000.
Some expenses Tangeman listed were $335 for election banners, $665 for operation and maintenance, $2,200 for promotional items, $2,700 for publishing and $5,000 for the student senate fall retreat. The Readership Program, also mentioned by Tangeman, has cost $27,000 over the span of four months.
Another round of appointments accompanied the library resolution. Sen. Seth Jones was appointed to the University Committee on Advancement of Teaching, while Sen. Gerard Wellman was appointed as Faculty Senate Liaison.
Tom Bosco was appointed to the University Committee on Student Publications. The board is responsible for allocating money hiring certain positions for The Gateway.
This is Bosco's first position in Student Government. He previously ran for three other positions and was not successful until this appointment. He said he wanted to get to know the student senate and become an active member in the organization.
Jordan Wagner was appointed as agency liaison for the GSO, the Gender and Sexual Orientation Student Agency. The position has so far been empty this semester.
The next student senate meeting will be held Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. in the Dodge Rooms in the Milo Bail Student Center.
