The student senate unanimously approved $9,220.52 for three UA clubs yesterday.
Bobcats Senior Honorary will get $8,455.52 for their Homecoming celebration.
The club requested $5,493.98 for set up, clean up, rental equipment, labor, a parade and a bonfire. The other funds will pay for a faŤade, banner and polo shirts.
Homecoming events are scheduled from Nov. 4 to Nov. 9.
The senate of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona unanimously passed the funding requests, which also included $665 for engineering fraternity Theta Tau and $100 for initial funding for Wildcat Habitat for Humanity.
ASUA also approved of $335 to buy chips, soda, fliers and to rent a water entertainment device like a Slip -N-Slide for the second annual Buffet By the Bay, an ASUA, sponsored campus-wide party.
The event will take place on Oct. 19 in front of the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall.
There will be live music by bands that will work the concert for free to advertise their bands.
Last year, the party was held at the Student Recreation Center during the first weeks of school. But scheduling conflicts arose when the Rec Center refused to host the party again.
Three golf carts will go on a final campus-wide investigation to find problem lighting, Sen. Travis Pritchett said last night. They will target areas with poor lighting or lights blocked by trees.
ASUA president Doug Hartz congratulated Pritchett on the project because the student government has been trying for a couple years to fix the lighting problem on campus.
