Activity Fund Allotment Cut 8%: Hartl Claims SOiZidi Plans Suffer Second semester budget allor- merits from the activity fee fund were made this week — with an eight per cent across- therboard cut. The college activity fee, which this year is $20 per stu dent per semester, is budgeted by SGA to social funds. student government, and publications. Though the budget is planned for the entire year, the allot. ments are made by semester, since the student fees are pay- able by semester. The eight per cent cut “was necessitated by a larger drop in enrollment than was antici: pated plus a series of unexr pected expenditures and stu- dent administrational errors,” according to Milton Tootle. student auditor. .. When asked about the cut, Phil Johnson. SGA president, said that it had been caused by a drop in enrollment larger than had been planned for, Tootle explained that the sec- ond semester activity fee check for $21,340 was $760 less than had been estimated when the budgeting was done, because . of the enrollment drop. The budget also expected to use $1,- 160.71 from the General Bud- get and Reserve fund, but ex» penses from first semester had brought the balance of the GBBzR down to where this was not possible. Thus, the cut was called fort The regular budget is worked out each spring by the Execu- tive Cabinet, in consultation with the recipients of the ac- tivity fee allotments, and it is then approved by the Student Senate, ‘ Last spring, when the budget was worked out, it was done assuming an 33 per student in- crease in the activity fee, This increase was not approved by the Trustees, when they, met over the summer.

Palmer Hart], social Coordinator, said that the cut would definitely af- fect the social program for the rest of the year, but that it is impossible at this time to de- termine just which areas will be affected most.

These residents can benefit the hall system as long as they have the confidence or the students. This confidence would he de~ stroycd should these residents be granted broad eniorccment pow. ers. “Student enforcement of the disorderly conduct and damage to college property regulations of the college should he increased. “Student government should in- vestigate the possibility or expand- ing the present open-house pro- ram, either in the direction of increasing the numhcr of hall op. tions or of broadening the weekly program. Progress on other cam. puses indicates that Grinnell need no longer worry about being the vanguard in this iron. “The role of student government in promoting interest in national and international affairs should be expanded. A regular channel might be worked out with NSA and Inc to investigate possihle student action before presenting proposals to the advisory council. “Greater use should he made of student coricc hours on problems in SGA. These sessions can intorm the students about the activities of ltudent government and attire for . same time provide an opportunity for students to present their own ideas to SGA. ”Appropriate student agencies should have more influence over the regulations and management of GERALD GODDARD the Forum.
