Five new allocations for University Board will be presented at the Student Senate meeting tonight in the Arcola/Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

University Board Special Events had its additional allocation for $4,500 for Up All Night: Blue Invasion X-treme Sports pass through Apportionment Board.

University Board Mainstage had its allocation for $10,460 pass through AB unanimously for “Pantherstock,” “So You Think You Can Rap” and Coffeehouse performers/Open Mic Nights as well.

AB approved a $4,500 allocation for UB Comedy to bring Aries Spears to Eastern, and a $5,235 allocation for UB Productions that would help certain Registered Student Organizations on campus put on events.

AB granted UB Homecoming an allocation of $2,350 for additional expenses and the Homecoming retreat this coming spring pass as well.

The senate will also discuss a line item transfer for Student Government Copy Services for $300 that AB approved.

“It is moving $300 from student payroll to copy service,” said Tiffany Turner, student vice president for business affairs.

Ryan Kerch, student vice president for student affairs, said the senate would have plenty of questions for UB and its requests.

UB will be available to answer any questions Student Senate might have about the additional allocations at the meeting.

“At this point, no questions would be left unanswered,” Kerch said.

Justin Barrett, a Student Senate member, said the UB allocations would probably pass.

“They are all for very good reasons,” Barrett said. “I’m sure they will pass.”

Two other allocations that were tabled last week will be voted on. One was for AB staff payroll for Laurel Fuqua. The other is for UB advertising.

The Tuition and Fee Review Committee will present its proposal on the School of Continuing Education fee.

“We will only be voting on whether or not we as Student Senate support this fee,” Kerch said. “No action would be taken yet.”

Another proposal to have the findings of the Student Relations and University Development and Recycling Committee Fire Extinguisher and Safety Walk will be presented at the meeting as well.
