MISSOULA kaimin CAMPUS Scouts celebrate 100th birthday ASUM forming review board Amy Sisk Montana Kaimin

A student has called into question the constitutionality of a bill passed by the student government that allows non- ASUM affiliated groups to collect only opt-in student fees. Haynes Hansen, a board member of MontPIRG, submitted a letter to ASUM Presi- dent Jen Gursky’s mailbox on March 1 requesting she form a board to explore the matter. “I think Senate Bill 38 takes a decision that should be the students’ and gives it to the Senate,” he said. “It’s saying what can be on the ballot and what can’t be.” The bill’s author, Sen. Travis Suzuki, said the change to an opt-in fee does not take away students’ rights. “It basically makes it so students don’t have to jump through hoops to get back money from a fee of a non-ASUM affiliated group,” he said. Although the bill does not specifically target MontPIRG, Nick Gast/Montana Kaimin it prevents any organization Girl Scouts of Missoula recite the Girl Scout Law in front of the Missoula City Council Monday evening.

I’d like to teach the world to sing, and I’d like to buy the world a Coke. Who wouldn’t? Unfortunately, I’m tone-deaf, and I lack the financial backing to even begin a project of that magnitude.

We skip them whenever possible, and when we can’t, we’re zon- ing out and staring at our phones. But this is more than an advertisement; it’s social networking at its sugary finest.

I think if everyone thinks that way, then the world is going to change in a better way.” The Persian Student Asso- ciation, which has about 50 student members, does many other outreach projects in the community to share its culture, such as dances, food fes- tivals and community service. The PSA is part of a cul- tural exchange program with the Rocky Mountain Ballet Theater, where Tajik students teach American dancers. Farzona Shukurova, the social coordinator for the PSA, teaches northern Tajik dances at the ballet theater.
