Total IGA budget requests exceed income by $60,900 Once again the money requested from IGA for 1969-70 campus budgets far exceeds the money that IGA will have to distribute next, year. The budget requests for next year total $430,300 while the projected income figure amounts to $369,400. The projected income is derived from six sources: student activity fees, athletic and related activities income (not from activity paying students), music and related activities (again from non-activity paying people), Bookstore income, social events, and miscellaneous IGA (as swim suit fee, car registration fee, etc.) The budget requests are categorized into five areas: 1. Clubs and Special Interest Organizations 2. Musical Organizations 3. Athletic and Related Activities 4. IGA Social Programs and Services 5. IGA Operating Expenses Clubs and Special Interest Groups The budget requests of thirty various approved club organizations and special interest groups ranging from Classic Club, Biology Club, Folk Dance Club to Theater - Dance, NAACP, and ACE total $15,120 or about 3.4% of the total requests. Musical Organization Musical Organizations, including the Brass Ensemble, College Slnfonietta, Concert Choir, Concert Band, Marching Band, Criterions, Men's and Women's Choruses, M.E.N.C, Symphony Orchestra, and Women's Glee Club, have submitted requests totalling $22,050 or 5.2% of the requests. Athletics Athletics and Related Activities have requested a total of $123,251. (about 28.6% of the requests) to cover such areas as women's and men's lntracolleglate athletic teams, the intramural program, the All College Recreation programs and Cheerleaders. IGA Social Programs and Services The social program and services area includes the following; All. Star Course, Assembly Series, campus art, Chamber Music Series, college calender, I.D. program. Little Theatre, QUAD ANGLES, SETS, WCSC Radio, College Union Committee, Student Handbook, vehicles, Debating Team and the Literary Quad. The budget requests from this area total $190,958 or about 44.4% of the total requests. IGA Operating Expense 1 A budget of $79,434. (about 18.4% 'of the total requests) has been requested for IGA operating expenses to cover office salaries, supplies, and capital expenditures. Yearly affair ' Once each year near the end of Feb., campus organizations submit an itemized budget account of pos' sible expenditures for the coming' year to the Finance Committee ■ of IGA. After previewing these 1 figures, the committee adjusts each budget with tentative cuts if necessary. Since projected income and expense figures do not correspond, IGA must of necessity look for areas to trim so that the final figures for the 1969-1970 budget will reflect a realistically balanced financial picture. Appeals can be made before the Finance Committee by any organization in connection with their revised budget. After the Financial Committee has reviewed the budget requests and resolved any needed adjustments, a proposed budget will be submitted to the IGA General Assembly for its approval or disapproval. If approved by the general assembly, the budget then continues through the remaining channels of Dean of Student Affairs, President of the College, and The Board of Trustees.
