I Current Issues Should SSAC Deny Ross Requested $1,5007

In April, the Senate Student Affairs Committee will vote on whether Bill Ross, student comptroller, receives a $1,500 salary for the 1993-94 school year. The position of student comptroller was created last year to supposedly ensure increased accountability and proper spendllg of student organization funds. Specifi­ cally, the comptroller should "present question of mis­ use of student allocated monies to the Senate Student Affairs Committee," according to the SGA Constitu­ • tion. However, according to SSAC records, not a single inquisition has been brought forth by Ross concerning . : questionable expenses this year. Another function of the office outlined in .the SGA Const,itution calls for the student comptroller to "check the accuracy of Activity Fee Acquisition Forms" before student groups submit their budgets for funding. If this service is available to all student groups it should have been publicized-many student groups missed out on this opportunity. In other words, Ross has made no attempt to audit student groups spending, but he is working hard in fighting for a $1,500 paycheck for himself. Both of the job duties described are also the respon­ UM-St. Louis will sponsor a conference on the implications of the North sibility of the Director ofStudentAffairs, Bob Schmalfeld.
