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.
