At the Graduate Student Senate meeting on November 10 Caroline Wild gave an overview of Joint Finance Committee (JFC) Policy for the benefit of the newly elected senators. She also described the accounting procedure used at the end of the fiscal year to roll over money left in the SGA-controlled accounts to the next fiscal year.

The Senate considered three bills. An allocation bill to GALA that would bring the Atlanta Gay Men's Chorus to the Center for the Arts was taken off the table and passed after some discussion of the amounts charged by the Center for the Arts to put on the production.

The Mini-Baja Team was chartered as an organization after a discussion of their funding sources.

Finally, a bill was passed that amended JFC policies to disallow JFC from passing any bill that involved a loan to an organization. Prior to passage, an amendment stripped the terms USC and GSS from the bill since JFC policies are not binding on the two houses of SGA. GSS meetings are held Tuesdays at 11 a.m. in Room 117 of the Student Services Building. SGA houses discuss money, charters, registration
