“Let’s say for example a
situation where a student has
after-hours entered into the
football
stadium,”
Wessel
said. “We want to have an
opportunity
to
engage
that
student in a dialogue around
that choice.”
The new statement will go
into effect July 2016.
Budget approval
CSG Treasurer Kevin Ziegler,
a Business senior, presented
the yearly CSG budget to the
assembly.
The proposed budget would
total
$400,000.
Currently
CSG has an expected revenue
$423,852.17, according to the
budget report.
Ziegler said he hopes to keep
the amount of general reserve
— or unused — funds at a
maximum of 5 percent. He said
doing so would ensure students
are still at the University when
CSG uses the fees students
pay each semester for student
government.
“These fees that students
are paying now — I want to see
that money expended and put
to use while they’re here at the
University and in that semester,”
Ziegler said.
According to the proposed
budget,
the
Student
Organization
Funding
Commission would receive 48
percent of the funds for the year,
totaling $167,592.28.
Elections updates
Fall election dates were also
proposed for Nov. 18 and 19.
A resolution introduced will
permit a pay raise for the CSG
elections director if the director
holds his or her post for both
semesters. The pay will remain
$500 for the first semester, but
will now increase to $750 for the
second semester.
The
elections
director
is
typically a Law student in charge
of
running
CSG
elections.
Public Policy sophomore Jacob
Pearlman,
student
general
counsel, said the role demands
an approximately eight week
commitment.
Pearlman
said
previous
directors experienced mental
breakdowns due to the stresses
of the position, and the funds are
intended to provide additional
incentive to fill the position.
Executive communications
LSA
junior
Sean
Pitt,
CSG’s chief of staff, discussed
increasing
communication
between
each
of
CSG’s
commissions and the executive
committee.
Pitt proposed appointing a
leader from each commision to
report regularly to executive
leadership.
Pitt also looks to decrease the
number of CSG commissions
from 19 to eight by turning
certain former commissions into
sub-commissions. For example,
the Sexual Assault Commission
will now fall under the umbrella
of the Student Health and Safety
Commission.
Pitt said the absorption of
Sexual Assault into Student
Health and Safety would not
diminish
the
efficacy
and
importance of the commission,
but would instead line up more
CSG members behind the issue.

RACIAL TENSION AT USC
Student gov. president harassed
The University of South-
ern
California’s
student
body president said she was
harassed when a fraternity
member yelled at her and
threw a can of beer at her,
the Los Angeles Times
reported.
The president, Rini Sam-
path, was born in India.
She said as she walked by
the
unnamed
fraternity
house, a man yelled out
“You Indian piece of s---!”
When she was elect-
ed, Sampath became the
first female USC student
body president in nearly a
decade and the first presi-
dent to be elected on an all
female ticket.
Members of the frater-
nity apologized to Sam-
path after realizing who
she was, but Sampath said
the event left her unsettled
because she thinks the
fraternity
member
only
apologized because of her
position at the University.
Federal veterans’ pro-
gram cut at University
of Iowa
The Iowa Consortium of
Veteran Excellence, which
provides about 600 Univer-
sity of Iowa student veter-
ans with programs to aid
in the transition to college,
will lose financial sup-
port from the U.S. Depart-
ment of Veteran Affairs
by the end of September,
The Daily Iowan reported
Tuesday.
The VA allocated $2.2
million in 2014 to both the
university and the Iowa
City Veteran Affairs Health
Care System to develop the
program.
The Daily Iowan report-
ed that the cut came “with
little explanation.” A Vet-
eran Affairs official didn’t
return
the
newspaper’s
request for comment.
