Board of Directors on Tuesday agreed to transfer almost 60 percent of its travel budget to its supply budget, to purchase much-needed supplies. Board chair Christina Machado and vice chair Courtney Patterson introduced the legislation, after the board was left with a surplus in designated travel funds. The 2001-02 ASI budget allots $3,355 for board members to travel to various conferences and meetings throughout the spring 2002 semester. Members usually travel to California State Student Association meetings, which are held monthly at CSU campuses. Few board members attended the meetings this semes- ter, resulting in unused travel funds. The board will use $2,000 of the budgeted travel funds to purchase supplies, such as a new printer. “We can purchase things that we wouldn’t have had the money to buy otherwise,” Patterson said. “We didn’t send as many members to conferences as we would have liked to. At least we can put this money to good use.” In other business, the board tabled a proposal to create an ASI Research Grant Committee. ASI gives research grants each academic year. The maximum grant is $450. According to the proposed policy, the committee would review grant applications and forward recom- mendations to the board. It would be comprised of, at most, 15 members. One would be a faculty member while the others would be students, preferably one from each college. Some board members were hesitant about approving the proposal. Board member Christine Terrisse disagreed when someone suggested that the ASI president appoint com- mittee members. VALENtiN MENDOZA/Daily Titan “I am personally uncomfortable with that,” she said.
