The Apportionment Board met with two of the five boards it funds Thursday at its first meeting.

The AB heard from Student Body President Alison Mormino and Ken Baker, director of the Sports and Recreation Board and the Student Recreation Center, concerning activities they fund through AB

allotments.

The board receives money collected from student activity fees and distributes the funds to Sports and Recreation, Dramatic Players, University Board, AB and Student Government.

Mormino said AB funds in Student Government are used toward such items as commodities, telephone bills and tuition waivers.

Baker said the AB money funds programs for the increase in students visiting the center. He said the center is drawing about 1,900 members a day.

Neither Student Government nor the Sports and Recreation Board asked the AB for additional funds than what was allotted to them last year.

AB will decide final budget allotments for all five boards in the third meeting.

Next week AB will hear reports from University Board and the theater board, Dramatic Players.

Amy Leonard, vice president for financial affairs, conducted AB orientation at the start of the meeting.

The board meets at 7 p.m. in the Arcola-Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
