Hello from USG Finance Committee!
The budget deadline was last Monday at 5PM. Thank you to all student organizations for submitting their budgets on time. There are currently boxes and boxes of budgets in the USG office. I will be screening them for missing components. Organizations should begin to receive emails about their budgets if they have incomplete requests.
The budget reviewing process will most likely start in the second week of March. It will be a month long intensive period. Organizations contacts should expect communications via email in the coming month for meeting with the USG Finance Committee.
On another note, organization mailboxes in LBC are currently unavailable. Organizations will not be receiving a copy of their reallocation request until the mailboxes are available again.
Sincerely,
Jing Jia Zang
Vice President for Finance

The election are coming, the elections are coming
This Wednesday and Thursday (until 5 pm) you the undergraduate students of Tulane U. will have the honor and the duty to vote for you 2009-10 e-board and on a restructuring proposal.
More information on both can be found at www.tulane.edu/~usg
Here's the skinny of the restructuring proposal. The proposal suggestion that we get rid of at-large senators (elected by all undergraduates) and add representatives from the residence halls and an off-campus association. The proposal would also tweak the numbers of seats given for senators representing the schools.

Book Store Focus Group
Today VP for Student Life Ross Kelley, several Senators, another student, and I participated in a focus group regarding the book store. The discussion was managed by a marketing representative and two Barnes & Noble employees, the Vice-President for Stores and the New Orleans Regional Manager, observed.
All of the students advocated for lower book costs and higher buy back rates. We also discussed what supplies were missing from the bookstore and the store's quality of service (everyone praised it). After the event, the VP for Stores told us that B&N contributed to the construction the bookstore part of the LBC. They also return a percentage of the proceeds to the university. We were all happy to hear this, but we will keep fighting for lower prices in every way we can.
