and initialing appropriate legislation for Senate action.
Interested students should fill

ForsA G r o u s
In order for Student Association
to get started on a firm basis this
year, it is necessary for all Student
Association budgeted organizations to comply with a few new
guidelines:
1. There is a new voucher system and a very complex new set
of rules on how money may be
spent. All group treasurers will be
required to attend a treasurers'
meeting. The dale will be published in Ihe first ASP.
2. All groups should have returned signature and officer cards
to the Student Association office;
these cards were mailed in the
spring. Extras are available in
CC346,
3. The new organization of the
executive branch may eliminate
commissions. Watch the first ASP
for details.
4. All Studenl Association distribution vouchers must be handed
in lo the Student Association sec-
P
retary in CC346 rather than at
Check Cashing. Checks however,
may still be picked up at Check
Cashing.
5. All vouchers must be properly
filled out and must have wither a
receipt or a written explanation of
what the monies are to be used
for. No receipt tapes, for instance,
with just 'merchandise' written on
it will be acceptable. Every item
on a receipt tape must be enumerated.
6. Each organization must had
their phone numbers in as soon as
possible. This will greatly help in
expediating mailers if any problems would arise.
If any organization is unsure of
its present budget or of finance
procedures, stop in Campus Center 346 and ask for assistance in
obtaining that confirmation.
Your assislance and cooperation
in these areas will be greatly appreciated.

Last year Student Association
entered into contract with Greyhound Lines, Inc. to provide busses for students on weekends and
holidays.
Busses run from the circle on
the new campus to New York
(Port Authority) on every weekend and to other major cities in
the state (Binghamton, Utica,
S y r a c u s e , Rochester, and
Buffalo). They return to the circle
only when a minimum number of
32 will be returning to the campus
on that particular run, otherwise
they will return to the bus terminal in Albany. There usually is not
this problem, with the NYC runs,
