I Money Matters for SSA Allocations The Stout Student Association had a total of $208,770 available for alloca- tion, of which $204,616 was recom- mended for allocations to organiza- tions by the Financial Affairs Commit- tee. The $4,154 difference would go into cooperative programming. When the budgets go to the entire Senate, three options are possible; accept the budget as a whole, throw out the re- quest and rewrite it, or make an amend- ment to committees recomendations. Each club that wanted funding sub- mitted a request form detailing every program they wanted to complete and a summary of all fiscal programming for the fiscal year. The groups were then required to answer several questions to allow the Financial Affairs Committee to make an intelligent decision on budget allocations, including the question of how their program would address the system wide program of Design for Di- versity. An interview was then set up with the committee, which allowed time for the group to explain the budget and programming they want to accomplish next year. The money that is allocated to the various groups on campus comes from the student activity fee portion of segregated fees, or $1.50 per credit per student. sun nw rtphtn Organizations - 23

Award nomination Gov. of Year The Stout Student Association was nominated for Student Qovernment of the Year by Chancellor Charles Sorenson. The award is presented every year by UW system President Kenneth Shaw, and reflects continuous initiative and paricipation in universi- ty governance. Those nominated are judged on innovative services, signifi- cant contributions to formulating poli- cies relating to student life, academic concerns, and other relevant contribu- tions. The winner rccieves possession of a traveling plaque. Chancellor Sorenson nominated the SSA based on how they have performed during the past year. SSA has also received letters ofsupport from Menomonie ' s Chamber of Com- merce Executive Director Duane Bauer, Mayor Chuck Stokke, Police Chief Dennis Beety, and State Senator Dick Shoemaker. University governments which are moninated are then required to send a letter of support to Shaw, who selects one of the nominations for the award. Stout ' s letter of support was written by Vice President of Academic Affairs Kevin Miller. Some of the high- lights included sponsoring a debate be- tween Wisconsin State Senate candi- dates Berndt and Shoemaker, holding the Housing Fair, seating two reps on the Chancellor ' s Council, and register- ing over a thousand students tovote in nov. elections. The campus can be very proud of the contributions of the SSA. Organizations
