b. Marion-Burton moves to approve $2875
c. Treichel seconds
d. Wood moves to open debate
e. Latt seconds
f. Wood- This will set a great example for SGA as to how we can
cooperate with fellow Augie organizations which provide funds to
students
g. Treichel- This is great and it will decrease the chance of other
groups asking the Senate for funds
h. Dahlke- Moves to close debate
i. Marion-Burton seconds
j. Treichel puts the questions
k. White seconds

SAGA Contingency
a. White moves to approve the full amount of
b. Bagnuolo seconds
c. Onumah to open debate
d. Latt Seconds
e. Onumah- The most frustrating thing about this body is that we
pass a lot of contingencies that don’t seem to truly matter for the
Augustana community at large. This, however, is perhaps the first
of recent member that is actually important to the Augie
community at large. SAGA is an important part of this entire
campus as opposed to those contingencies who only benefit 10,
etc.
f. Latt- do they really need 550 copies? Perhaps they should chose
between quality and quantity
g. Treichel- I agree with Senator Latt. This is an organization that we
should support however 550 copies is a lot. Perhaps we should
support them and approve funding for 400 copies.
h. Treichel moves to amend that we approve funding for 400 copies
i. Latt seconds
j. Groeper- We should take into consideration the different factors
included in printing as they mentioned.
k. Zheng- We should approve the full amount. I work for SAGA and in
the Fall there were many cuts in great work based on poor
budgets.
l. Hilbert- They have provided themselves a cusion as they don’t
know how many magazines they can publish with this amount. This
is providing students with good oppourtunity so we shouldn’t cut
their funds.
m. Wood- Something like a literary/art magazine is essential to the
Liberal Arts education and this new amount of 400 copies seems
arbitrary as we don’t know what the printing cost would end up
being as many publishers give cheaper prices for bulk orders.
n. Dahlke- SAGA is good and we shouldn’t limit their number of
copies, the more the better. They go quickly already and we
shouldn’t limit their numbers of copies
o. Funke- We should not be taking away money from this, they’ve
already decreased their printing quantity and their doing their best
to keep costs down and it benefits the entire campus.
p. Wickiser- Against reducing this amount, it’s not our place to say
how many magazines they’ll need.
q. Moves to put to question
r. Onumah objects
s. Onumah- My issue with the amendment is that we’re punishing
SAGA for poor budgetary decisions that we’ve made as a body. This
is essential to Augustana as a community. More students benefit
from the publishing of SAGA than most of the recent contingencies
of approval.
t. Triechelu. Bagnuolo moves to put the question
