By Tamara Mohawk Kdmin Rtportsf Members of several ASUM groups and some Central Board mem bers discussed last night how they think CB should allocate money to those groups for next year. Final budgeting for ASUM, which in the past has lasted into the early morning hours, begins tonight at 6 in the University Center Mount Sentinel Rooms. Last night’s forum was sponsored by the Student Action Center. It was organized so members of student groups could voice their “priorities and concerns” about budget cuts they would face if CB followed the ASUM Executive Committee budget recommendation made earlier this month, SAC Director Shaun Egan said. "1 think we’ve learned other people’s perspectives,” Egan said near the end of the meeting, which was attended by about 50 peo ple. ASUM has about $431,000 to dole out for next year, but 59 stu dent groups have requested a total of more than $673,500.
