receive money from the SGA, a club must be financially responsible for
itself. This includes, but
is not limited to, maintaining a school account with a positive balance. According to Appendix 2 of the SGA Handbook, monetary disbursements
are made to clubs "equal to 25% of the previous year's SGA budget as derived
from activity fees, to be split evenly among the enrolled organizations
and made in two disbursements." This means that clubs can expect
to receive about $150 in two installments of $75 at some point in time
this year. Because all clubs
and organizations fall under the umbrella of SGA, a club must be deemed
financially responsible before it can receive these disbursements. The requirements for this are described
in general terms in the SGA Handbook. Clubs may also petition the SGA Financial Committee for additional
funding of single events during the course of the year. At the August
20, 2003 SGA meeting, a motion was passed detailing and clarifying the
procedure that Clubs and Organizations must follow in order to request
additional funding from the SGA. Club and organization presidents
