Senate reels in the Tra La La
First off, the ASUO Senate decided Wednesday to allocate $8,256 from the surplus funds for a free concert by Günther, yes, that Günther. As reported in the ODE:
“Günther thanks you all as well. Very much.”
While I don’t have a huge craving for a Günther concert, I think the ASUO and Senate should make it a focus to bring more concerts to the EMU Ballroom, which is somewhat underused. The Idan Raichel Project concert last term was a success. It’s at least money spent where anyone can enjoy it.
In other news, the over-realized funds are up to $638,288, and Nate Gulley couldn’t be more excited. In the Emerald,
“It was intense, but it was great. Every time we voted we were voting for something big,” [Gulley] said.
ASUO President Emily McLain muttered, “It was miserable.”
Whoa there big boy, we all know how excited you get from spending large amounts of other people’s money. I hope that the money will be spent wisely, doubtful. But just for good measure, take this food for thought.
