Budget allocation 0H,TWu1 EASX- NOT HKINo R* lacks consideration IMMUNITY 50 I OULP TEJTlFy This past year's ASGU budget (and every other budget at ANP NAME Gonzaga) showed reductions in fund allocation for various HI0HER-UPS.... groups and proiects. While this is to be expected, from a financially weak corporation, poorly considered distribution of funds is not. Last week, the ASGU President was awarded a $1250 scholarship for the coming academic year. For a year in office, the president of our corporation is paid $1250. It strikes one as being rather peculiar that the chairperson(s) of the Freshmen Orientation Committee is awarded a scholarship of $1000 for work that entails, at the most, four months. If ASGU is attempting to maintain a balanced budget, why is such a substantial sum given for work done over such a short period of time? When dollar values are assigned, is the amount of work spent on Orientation worth as much as the work an ASGU President puts in? Elsewhere in this issue, the ASGU Executive Council tells us they believe Gonzaga students are very interested in being informed on a regular basis about what ASGU is doing with their money. If the Budget Advisory Committee agrees with that philosophy, an explanation on this matter is in order. The students will not have it any other way.
