Winners of the Student Government’s fall semester elections will be announced at Student Senate’s final meeting tonight.

Student Body President Levi Bulgar said every person who ran should get a spot on the senate next semester.

“It was an uncontested election,” Bulgar said. “There were no issues.”

All new members will be sworn in at the meeting as well.

The Student Senate Speaker position for the spring will also be decided at the meeting.

Drew Griffin, chair of the externals relations committee, and Student Senate member Paul Reid were vying for the position.

Both Griffin and Reid think they could handle the job.

Griffin said he could handle running a meeting.

Reid said current Student Senate Spear Issac Sandidge and Bulgar support him.

Because it is the senate’s last meeting, Bulgar will present the State of the University address.

“This speech is about the well-being of the student body,” Bulgar said. “Also, I will talk about things that have happened in the world over the semester, such as the election of Barrack Obama and the state of the economy in the speech.”

Sandidge will also give the State of the Senate Address.

“The State of the Senate addresses issues within the senate and what we have accomplished,” Bulgar said.

Eric Wilber, student executive vice president, said other than elections, proposal approved by Apportionment Board will be presented at the meeting.

Five allocations from last week for University Board will be voted on at the meeting along with a line-item transfer from Student Government.

If approved, the transfer would move $300 from student payroll to copy service.

A proposal discussing money for the Student Government retreat that took place in the fall will also be voted on.

The Black Student Union, Student Life Office, Latin American Student Organization and UB all participated in the retreat.

The total cost for the retreat was $552, and Student Government’s portion of the cost is $110.52.

If these fail, Ceci Brinker, director of student life, will have to foot the bill.

The senate will vote on $4,500 for UB Special Events; $10, 460 for UB Mainstage; $4,500 for UB Comedy; $5,235 for UB Productions; and $2, 350 for UB Homecoming.

These passed unanimously at AB two weeks ago.

Also, two other events AB approved will be presented at the meeting.

The costs for the events are $8,275 for “Up All Nite: Casino Royale,” $3,200 for “UB Rush Hour Lucky Charm” and $9,025 for “Spring Fling Wild Safari.”
