ASUA senators will be out on the UA Mall Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to hear students' responses to the proposed $15 to $20 activity fee.

Associated Students of the University of Arizona Sen. Jacob Reuben said the refundable fee, which would go toward campus programming, is a pressing issue and urged senators to represent the students and not their own opinions.

If the senate doesn't approve the fee, it won't be on the ASUA March elections ballot, which is the goal of the student leaders pushing the fee.

Reuben said students should visit the senate table Wednesday and voice their opinions about the fee.

The senate plans on voting on the issue on the same day, at its meeting at 4:45 p.m. in the Student Union Memorial Center.

He said students should also come to the senate meeting in order to show their support for or opposition to the fee.

The senate approved $50 to be used to purchase Eegee's for students who visit their table out on the Mall.


ASUA senators approved the Appropriations Board consent agenda for $2,731.36 at last night's senate meeting.

Camp Wildcat requested and received $1,161.54 for their three camps to take place on Feb. 27 to 29, March 26 to 28, and April 23 to 25. The funding was for bus or van rental.

Camp Wildcat is a student-run organization that does activities such as weekend long camps, weeklong summer camps, backpacking trips, and other special events for the disadvantaged youth.

Reuben asked ASUA Sen. Kara Harris if the amount allocated was the same amount that was given to them last year. She said it was approximately the same amount.

The Society of Civil Engineers requested and received $1,000 to attend the Pacific Southwest regional conference from March 31 to April 2 in San Luis Obispo, Calif.

The conference will feature several competitions including a concrete canoe race and designing a steel bridge.

Delta Sigma Phi received $276 for their Regional Leadership Academy in Las Vegas on Feb. 28.

The funding would be used for travel and hotel. The $346 originally requested was scaled down.

The High Rollers received $145.21 in initial funding in order to recruit new members. Since the amount was within initial funding guidelines, the board decided to fund the entire request.

The Energy Conservation and Lifestyle Initiative Partnering Students and their Environment received $130.61 in initial funding to recruit new members.

The organization is trying to establish a student communal living experiment. Students will be exposed to alternative ways of living that the natural resources of the desert can provide.

The board had to reduce the original request of $154.55 in order to stay under the initial funding guidelines.
