The Student Senate may vote on four additional allocations passed from the Feb. 12 Apportionment Board meeting at the 7 p.m. meeting in the Arcola/Tuscola Room at the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
These allocations are for cycling bikes and lockers for the Student Recreational Center, the Tournament Fan Bus and the Tuition and Fee Forum. These allocations amount to $32,390.
A vote did not occur at last week's meeting because new proposals have to be discussed the first week and then subsequently tabled. Student Body President Levi Bulgar said some members might have questions concerning the cycling bikes and lockers.
Bulgar also thinks the fan bus will be an important discussion. The fan bus passed for $1,593, which was $1,200 less because the item paying for hotel stays was voted down.
"The Tournament Fan Bus will have some talk about the logistics of making it work," he said.
Bulgar said the additional nine holes for the disc golf course might also trigger some discussion. The additional allocation worth $15,000 failed by a vote of 1-6-0 at the AB meeting.
A money request for $680 for the Student's Distinguished Professor Award will also be up for a vote.
New items on the agenda include Campus Safety Week and Student Action Team stationery.
Campus Safety Week passed the AB 6-1-0 Thursday for a sum of $900. Bulgar will present his project for a third time in many weeks.
However, he said it would be more informative since he obtained more information.
Bulgar told the AB on Thursday he was looking to gain enough sponsorship for the event to be funded without Student Government funds.
The Student Action Team bill for new stationery is for letter-writing campaigns to lobby for issues important to Eastern, such as the Renewable Energy Center.
Eric Wilber, student executive vice president, will be asking for $120 for the materials.
