Student Senate and Finance Committee dedicated themselves to a thorough review of funding requests to ensure that final allocations best met the needs of the student body. Student Senate Bill 2017-145 contains Line-Item allocations, and Student Senate Bill 2017-105 contains Block Allocations made to all organizations. Additionally, Student Senate Bill 2017- 145 outlines the required campus fees. While Student Senate was unfortunately unable to allocate funds for every request received, I am confident that the utmost consideration was given to all entities requesting funding. I would like to especially thank the following individuals: Finance Committee Chair Taylor Zabel, Student Senate Treasurer Allyssa Castilleja, and Student Senate Assistant Treasurer Whit Collins for their efforts in preparing and facilitating this budget process; adviser Aaron Quisenberry for his ongoing commitment to the review process and the Student Senate as a whole; and the Finance Committee and Fee Review Subcommittee members for devoting their time to ensure a responsible allocation of funds.

The spring academic honor roll includes 530 student-athletes representing teams participating in the four men’s and four women’s spring sports for which the UAA sponsors competition. Within the UAA, All-Academic Recognition is awarded to student-athletes who have completed at least one full year of college study and who carry a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.300. The 3.300 minimum cumulative grade point average is the same academic standard used as a qualifying threshold by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for the nomination of ® Academic All-America candidates in all sports. The 530 recipients of UAA All-Academic Recognition represent approximately 61 percent of the total eligible UAA student-athletes — members of all teams who have completed at least one year of undergraduate study. Percentages varied by institution with a high of 71 percent of eligible student- athletes earning All-Academic honors. Percentages among sports varied with a high of 69 percent of eligible tennis athletes receiving All-Academic recognition. The UAA Presidents Council established a program of All-Academic Recognition in April 1998. Qualifying student-athletes are recognized at the completion of the fall, winter, and spring seasons each year.

Recording the domestic dramas and business anxieties of family living the bourgeois life in a pleasant New Jersey suburb, The Sopranos is a saga of middle-class life in America at the turn of the century. Chronicled in twenty-six hour-long episodes, the first two seasons from the series will be shown in two four-day sequences at The Museum of Modern Art, from February 3-13 at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. "The Sopranos is a cynical yet deeply felt look at this particular family man," remarks Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the program. "David Chase and his team have created a series distinguished by its bone-dry humor and understated, quirky, and stinging perspective - not usually seen on television." Renowned for his savvy profiles of power players in the media, Ken Auletta will join David Chase for a discussion of The Sopranos at The Museum on February 12. The Department of Film and Video gratefully acknowledges HBO for making the series available for public viewing.
