But, with budget cuts we’re not expecting to get what we’re requesting.” For this reason, Parrish said CAB is focusing its efforts on finding alternative financial support like sponsorships. Lane said SABC is always under pressure to be critical when allocating money, especially with students so sensi- tive to increased tuition. Many organizations and activities rely on SABC funding. Maier said student senate wouldn’t be able to administer or conduct business without SABC’s funding. “We’d be pretty much done,” he said. Student senate uses the money for lobby day transportation, salaries and other functions. SABC meets at 4 p.m. on Wednesdays in the CMU.
