Senators of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona allocated fees for clubs, received their senate aids, and reported on their efforts and accomplishments at their weekly meeting.

Allocations

Senators voted to allocate a total of $4,161.09. The money went to a variety of causes, including funding for Gallagher Theater as a venue space for the Charles Darwin Experience and funding for the Black Retail Action Group to attend National Gala in New York City.

Block party

ASUA changed the name of the block party for the presidential debate on Oct. 3 to the Rad, White and Blue block party after booking Radical Something as the concert artist. A DJ will be performing before the debate and cardboard cutouts of Romney and Obama have arrived at ASUA offices.

ASUA also announced that, starting next week, contests on who can get the most students to register to vote or interact with social media will be held between residence life organizations and Greek life organizations.

Senator reports

Senator Jake Barman reported that Sigma Chi is the first fraternity on the UA campus to begin to go completely green.

Senator Joel Torres continued his work for a financial aid “shopping cart.” Sen. Torres has been working to collaborate with Scholarship Universe as well. Torres also said he had a “future announcement” for next week’s meeting.

Other notes
