v. Rainbow Alliance
1. Motion – Authorship speech
a. Pat Dawson from Rainbow: add $145 to
honorarium line item. 5% increase. Over the course
of past 4 years, attendance has increased. When co-
 sponsored, has increased even more. About 200
people have been served by this money. In 2005, 50
people attended speaker. In 2006, 65 people to 200
people in 2007.
2. Con speech – SAFC member
a. Increased attendance is bloated. The allocation was
only based on
b. Motion to Previous question
i. Motion failed
3. Pro speech – Pat
a. 140 unique people (215 overall total) were served
benefited from co-sponsorship. Huge increase from
65 two years. Only contributed $2500 to major co-
sponsorship. 5% increase is reasonable.
4. Con speech – Malavika
a. When groups agree to co-sponsor, they agree to
split work evenly irrespective of amount each group
puts in. Our intent is in no way to penalize
Rainbow, but understand everyone is expected to
contribute equally.
5. Motion to Previous question
a. Question: Julia: what is the amount?
i. Samir: $145
b. Motion passed unanimously: $145 added to
Rainbow Alliance
vi. Alianza
vii. College Democrats
1. Motion to add $9000 to fall honorarium
2. Jordan from College Dems: authorship speech
a. Current amount reflects 32% decrease from two
years ago. This is punishing us for financial
misconduct two years ago and not based on our
programming. Requesting $9000, which is a 10%
increase to help with programming. College Dems
have proven to
b. Nate: question
c. Jordan: continue to put on 2 events per year
d. What is financial conduct?
e. Jordan: our president did not fill out a form to split
an event into two
f. Malavika: 1. moving a venue w/o petition 2.
splitting an honorarium without informing SAFC in
fall of last year
3. con speech – SAFC member
a. Lowered honorarium to $35,000 because: most
groups receive 5-10% increase or decrease and
 College Dems has already a 20% increase. They
are asking us to double-count the two events that
were split up. Just an issue of being financially
responsible. They came to us w/ a $10,000 lowest
tier for one event so we lowered the amount for the
other.
4. Pro speech - Adam Vohra: Speaker last year cost less than
expected. We got lucky. We are trying to move to $70,000
we had two years. We want to prove to SAFC that we
have good programming, but to do that, we need this
increase for fall event b/c right now we have 5-10%
decrease for fall event.
a. Question: Julia: If they had come to board, would
they…
b. Malavika: that was in fall 2008
c. Adam: that was a mistake, but we should continue
to be penalized for that
d. Malavika: they are getting an increase from last
year and were rewarded
5. Con speech – Justin from SAFC
a. We already awarded them a 12.5% from last
funding cycle. We do not award funding based on
funding more that one year ago. The increase they
are asking for would be fiscally irresponsible and I
have never seen that kind of increase during my
time on the committee.
b. Malavika: percent increases does vary group by
group, but when you are looking at groups that get
more than $10,000, increases are capped.
c. Mike: given criteria that you consider each group
irrespective of other groups, why are you comparing
their increase to other increases
d. Malavika: you have to consider the amount of
money and go group by group and so we are
judging a responsible increase in honorarium
e. Nate: Motion to extend by 1 minute
i. Motion passes unanimously
f. Nate: what is approximate percentage change from
2 years ago?
g. Malavika: they got 70,000 that year
h. College Dems: 32% decrease
i. Will Upton: takes a group a while to work out of
financial misconduct so would this be pretty
dramatic?
 j. Malavika: the increase they are asking for would be
unheard of even though we are rewarding them for
programming
6. pro speech – Jordan
a. We are not expecting to get back to 70,000 in 1 or 2
years, but we should not be punished for one
person’s mistake. To get back to level of
programming and to attract most students possible,
we need more funds to get the caliber of speaker
needed to get enough students. We are receiving a
decrease from our fall honorarium from last year.
7. con speech – Will Upton
a. SAFB is making a very important point. When you
are giving a financial misconduct, it’s part of
punishment not to bounce back so quickly. It’s not
a good argument to request enough funding to
improve programming. When I started in College
Republicans, we had a FM and we are still
recovering. I implore you to respect SAFB’s
decision here.
8. Vote: nays have it
a. Division: 8 in favor, 28 opposed, 3 abstained
b. Motion fails: College Dems does not receive $9000
9. Motion to add $5000: Adam Vohra – authorship speech
a. We will be where we were at last year.
b. Quesiton: did you spend all 10,000 that you took
from the fall?
c. Adam Vohra: we spent 8,500 or 9000 and covered it
with general funds
d. No con speech
e. Vote: division: 17 in favor, 19 opposed, 2 abstain
f. Motion fails
10. Motion to add $2500 to College Dems fall honorarium:
Adam Vohra – authorship speech
a. Same points. We don’t want to be set back. Half of
SAFB agrees.
b. Mike: how many members of SAFC can vote?
c. Samir: 6 senators
d. Mike: so if half agree…
e. Motion passes unanimously: $2500 to College
Democrats
viii. One Step Before
1. Motion to add $250 to One Step Before in Winter Speaker
honorarium:
2. Authorship speech: Vanessa from OSB: pre-medical
minority student group. Winter Quarter Speaker helps us
 get out name out. Last WQ Speaker received significantly
more than this year. After talking to Malavika and Najim,
we are asking to add $250. Important to note that the
amount we receive influences the quality of speaker we can
get and attendance. OSB is more than capable of having
good attendance. We have added 2 new positions as
programming chairs to help with attendance.
3. No con speech
4. Vote: Motion passes unanimously: $250 added to One Step
Before

xvi. APAC
xvii. ASB
1. Motion to add $1100 to ASB Spring Trip Funding
2. Mariel: Authorship speech: based on growth in
programming includes increasing class seminars from 3 to
5 trips. We went to Tanzania this year, Florida, Texas. We
had an overwhelming number of applications this year.
Next year, ASB must face restrictions from MotorPool next
year so we have to fly.
a. Pam: how much would it cost to rent through
Enterprise?
b. Mariel: we can’t b/c we get insurance through
MotorPool and the university
c. Question: what would be the result of not receiving
this money?
d. Mariel: would have to get funds from individual
students
e. Beau: did you say a $1000 increase would decrease
cost to students by $100
f. Mariel: less than $100, but we couldn’t cover
financial aid
g. How many students?
h. around 1500
i. Con Speech
i. We agree that they do merit and increase,
but the tiers were too high.
j. Motion to Previous Question
i. Vote: Motion passes unanimously: $1100 to
ASB
xviii. Thai Club
xix. PARS, SASA, MCSA
xx. SEED
1. Motion to add $100 to PhilFest (Spring Event) to recycling
and trash bins
2. Authorship speech: Julia Brook: Outdoor event held in
Spring; this year co-sponsored w/ A&O which will increase
attendance -> increases trash
a. Pam: are these reusable?
b. Julia: yes, for Norris east lawn; we didn’t need them
in the past b/c of lower attendance, but there will be
more people and more trash.
c. Pam: will you be using these again?
d. Julia: the ultimate goal
e. For next year?
f. Julia: for this year
g. Nate: is there a way to work with Norris?
h. Julia: we tried to work with them this year, but this
is for a specific event, but we haven’t spoken to
facilities about this
i. Malavika: to buy the bins?
j. Julia: yes
k. Malavika: you were allocated $100 to buy bins last
year…have you yet?
l. Julia: Elisa? No, well, I don’t know.
3. Con speech: Malavika: we encourage them to find out
where that money went and to see if these are just rental
cost and come during supplementary funding if they do
need that money
4. Motion to previous question
5. Julia: can I rescind my motion? Because A&O gets them
for free.
6. Samir: Motion is rescinded.
7. Point of information: we still pay, but…
8. Julia: rescinded
9. Maggie: recycle bins are rented
10. Julia: explains why
xxi. NCDC
1. Motion to add $1200 to candy for Project Pumpkin :
Manisha
2. Authorship speech: Max: NCDC member: Happens every
year…SAFC hasn’t given us money for candy. I don’t
know why… I guess SAFC hates children. World will end
if you don’t fund us for candy. Helps relieve
overpopulation of world with obesity. If kids don’t get
candy, what will kids do after school?
 a. Julia: drugs
b. Sex, gotta put something in their mouths.
3. How much per child would that money be?
a. About a dollar per children. But we ran out this
year because we had such an increase in funds.
4. Con Speech: By giving children, we are putting their health
in danger. NCDC’s mission statement doesn’t say anything
about making kids fast. Is it really appropriate for us to be
stimulating their sexual desires? Should they really be
whipping out their tootsie rolls… We are waging war on
those who want to giving out seemingly benevolent candy.
In the sprit of America…freedom. We hate candy. Do you
or are you a communist?
5. Motion to previous question
6. Question: why didn’t they get this money?
7. Malavika: we don’t fund any noncontractual food
8. Previous question
a. Vote: Motion passes: $1200 to NCDC
9. Motion to add $400 to transportation to Project Pumpkin
10. Authorship Speech: we would like to add money for more
buses b/c we ran out of buses last year and kids came late.
We had 23 buses last year and so we are asking to fund 24
buses.
a. Julia: where are they busing to and from?
b. Kids from around the area from after school
programs to Northwestern
c. Vote: Motion passes: $400 to NCDC
11. Motion to add $250 to fall undergrad lecture serious
honorarium for NCDC
12. Authorship speech: raises awareness about important social
issues and a great way to advertise volunteer opportunities.
We had a huge increase in turn out so we can continue to
diversify our programs.
a. Vote: Motion passes: $250 to NCDC
13. Motion to add $300 to ArtsFest to program printing
14. Authorship speech: Shar: asking for $300, which is what
we received last year. This year SAFC did not fund any
money for programs. Programs are an integral part to our
program. Helps develop relationships between community
and campus – get to know the people behind the art.
a. Jilian: runs alongside Communiversity Day…have
you talked about including ArtsFest in those
programs?
b. Yes, we had an insert, but it wasn’t enough, we
really are our own program
 15. Con speech: Maggie: to be consistent, we didn’t fund
programs for any other student groups
16. Pro speech: We really do use the biographies as a way to
get to know the people doing the artwork…as important as
watchin the art. Place higher emphasis on programs than
other student groups.
17. Con speech: Najim: To reiterate, no other group got
programs and this should be no different. If you want to
use them to advertise, use publicity line item.
18. Vote: Motion fails
xxii. FMO
1. Motion to add $550 to Blackboard section of printing
2. Authorship speech: Marian Johnson from FMO:
Blackboard magazine serves as an outlet for students…we
only received funding for Winter and requested for Fall,
Winter, Spring.
a. Pam: why weren’t you funded for Spring or Fall?
b. Marian: we hadn’t put out the magazine yet and we
have to ask for funding one year in advance
c. Vote: Motion passes unanimously: $550 to
Blackboard section of printing to FMO
3. Motion to add $700 to Sound and Sight section to spring
event
4. Authorship speech: Marian Johnson: spring event every
year and this year we did not receive funding this year
because I was unaware that you had to tier. Stemmed from
misunderstanding between me and our AE. Pivotal to pay
for sound and sight at a concert.
a. How much did you receive last year?
b. Same amount.
5. Con speech – Jeff Cao: we didn’t fund $2000 because it
was too much of an increase, but please approve $700.
6. Motion to previous question
a. No objection
7. Vote: Motion passes unanimously: $700 to FMO
8. Motion to add $2000 to spring honorarium for FMO
9. Authorship speech: we connected with admissions office to
align concert w/ prospective student weekend. We ask for
increase b/c we have been responsible with money we have
received and we have fundraised and b/c we spent money
wisely to have some left over. The more money we have,
the better artist we can provide for students. We have
unique constituency.
a. Attendance?
b. Close to 300 students, not including FMO board
members, which was about 24.
10. Con speech: Malavika: FMO had a great concert, but
attendance numbers. Last year, same honorarium, 300
students. This year, 300 students including prospective
students so SAF was funding…
a. Do you have numbers of last year b/c I don’t recall
it being 300 last year?
b. Malavika and Jeff: going from your petition, it was
300 including helpers
c. Question: more money, better performer?
d. Malavika: yes, any group can make that argument…
the increases have to be responsible
11. Pro speech: Nissi: asking for increase came from requests
we ran into this year with Solange: accommodating
equipment and band and back-up dancers
12. Con speech: Jeff Cao: this money is to add to honorarium,
not production costs, which is what previous speaker spoke
about. 16% increase for event that arguably had the same
attendance is not responsible
a. Vote: Motion fails
13. Motion to add $1100 to spring honorarium
14. Authorship speech: Marian: we think 1100 is more
reasonable amount of money. We do feel we deserve an
increase b/c of quality of programming and we want to
continue to increase our caliber as every other group does.
15. Con speech: Malavika: they had fewer people, which does
not merit an increase. Be consistent and equitable in the
way you distribute funds.
16. Pro speech: simply not true that we had a decrease in
attendance even though our petition said we had 300 last
year. I think it was around 230 or 240. Our programming
merits an increase. In order to put on great events such as
the Solange concert where we ran into such problems, we
need more money to help with inflation. The fact that we
worked with other groups and shifted funds around all
merit increase. Also note that the black population at
Northwestern is too low for us to sell out with 1000
attendance.
17. Con speech: Najim: they falsified their petition.
a. Question: Aren’t 300 and 300 the same number?
b. 300 and 296 including prospees
c. Question: Isn’t it the responsibility of AE to go to
event and take headcount?
d. Yes, we take headcount, but you turn in the ticket
sales
e. Wilson: .4 deflation
 f. Sheena: have numbers brought to senate influenced
an increase in funding?
g. Malavika: could have before my time
h. Question: is there anything outside of numbers that
you deem meritorious of increase?
i. Malavika: issues with advertising, contracts, and
planning
18. Pro speech: senate needs to stop punishing groups for
mistakes made and to reward events and programming that
fill Cahn and other venues. When we have the resources,
our planning goes will. Innovative way to increase black
enrollment. We haven’t had an advisor. With mounting
challenges, we deserve a chance to get back to where we’ve
been in the past.
a. Question: what’s the amount?
b. $1100 to spring honorarium
19. Con speech: Jeff Cao: SAFB does not fund on cause. FMO
has put on good events and have been rewarded. Spring
honorarium got 16-17%. Some charges made toward
SAFB were not true.
a. Nissi: for College Dems, how many people came to
major event?
b. A little 400
c. Nissi: and what was the amount that they got?
d. Malavika: $48,000
e. Jeff: if you try to use that for any event, we should
fund A&O at all.
f. Nissi: just a point of clarification
g. Vote: Division
i. 4 in favor, 26 opposed, 8 abstain
ii. Motion fails
xxiii. Habitat for Humanity
xxiv. NCE
xxv. Dolphin Show
xxvi. A&O
1. Motion to add $6500 to blow out honorarium
2. Authorship speech: We were very financially responsible
asking for cuts of $12,000 in consolidating. We received a
14% increase and increased attendance. This $6500 would
be a similar 14% increase to reflect increase in attendance.
a. Beau: why two blow outs?
b. For different venues.
3. Con speech: large numbers with A&O. Prior to 2007,
usually 5-7% increase, but in 07-08, more. Multi-faceted
decision. We awarded them an increase already. And
14.35% increase would be a huge increase.
 a. Which line item?
b. A&O blow out honorarium: 85,000 currently
4. Pro speech: last year SAFB we got 14.5% increase last year
and we would like the same this year since blow out was
even better
5. Con speech: Mike: have utmost respect for what our
student groups do. Since we have limited pool, we divide
up what we have. If we add more to A&O’s already large
amount, wholly unjustified. A&O receives what the bottom
29 student groups receive combined. If A&O continues to
receive these increases, they will absorb the whole pool by
2017. They already have an increase. So keep A&O at
current increase.
a. Syd: Mike, question
b. Mike: not taking question
c. Syd: how much money from our revenue rolls back
to SAFB?
d. Malavika: 75% from ticket prices goes back to
funding pool
e. I would like to know answer to that question
f. Malavika: $19,087 is revenue from 2008 for the
entire year, which does not include fall event
6. Pro speech: I agree with SAFB, but I don’t think we should
be punished for doing great shows that merit increases.
From one show we generate 30,000, which is more than
funding pool. Beneficial to SAFB b/c so much rolls back.
a. Beau: what will this increase do to ticket prices?
b. Will stay around same price.
7. Con speech: Emma Kerr: A&O holds phenomenal events.
9% increase, then 8% increase, then 14% increase mainly
due to SAF grew so much, which is not happening this
year. But they still deserve a certain increase.
a. Question: what will happen to remaining money if
not used up?
b. Malavika: will go back to supplementary funding so
all st
c. Vote: division: 15 in favor, 17 opposed, 3 abstain
d. Motion fails
8. Motion to add $5000 blow-out
a. No objection
9. vote: division: 23 in favor, 9 opposed, 5 abstain
10. Motion passes: $5000 added to blow-out
11. Julia: can you read off amount left for people who can’t
read?
12. Samir: $38,211
xxvii. Oasis
xxviii. SASA
1. Motion to add $1500 to honorarium to fall speaker
2. Authorship speech: Amir: we made a mistake by not
providing a tier. Honorarium cut to 10,000 this year. We
fundraised 2,000. Fall speaker attracted a 350 person
increase from past years. Most successful to date. We’re
hoping 1500 increase will allow us to put on an even
greater event.
3. Con speech: SAFB did not recommend b/c of bad tiers.
30% was not merited, but 15% is merited and $1500 should
be approved.
4. Motion to previous question
a. No objections
5. Vote: Motion passes unanimously: $1500 to SASA
xxix. Night Skool Productions
xxx. APAC, KASA
xxxi. College Feminists
1. Motion to add $1600 to spring speaker
2. Authorship speech: Alex from College Fems: rejected for
funding for spring speaker b/c of insufficient tiers. Same
amount as last year: $1600.
3. Con speech: We gave recommendations based on
inappropriate tiers, but have since worked with them on this
tier.
4. Motion to previous question
a. No objections
5. Vote: motion passes: $1600 added to College Feminists
6. Motion to fund incidental costs ($784)
7. Authorship speech: Jeff Cao: if we’re funding a group in
honorarium, we should fund costs it takes to get the speaker
to campus
8. Motion to previous question
a. No objection
9. Vote: Motion passes: $784 to College Fems incidental costs

xxxii. TASC
xxxiii. MPHC
xxxiv. ASA
1. Motion to add $500 to winter honorarium
2. Authorship speech: Ama: ASA is African Student
Association. Insufficient tiering. ASA’s growth and
abilities are endless. The increase by 8.3% is essential. We
have increased attendance.
3. Con speech: we gave them a decrease b/c other tier was
$2500 and we have since then discussed the tier with them
4. Motion to previous question
 a. No objection
5. Vote: Motion passes unanimously: $500 added to ASA
xxxv. CSA, TASC for Celebrasia
xxxvi. KASA
xxxvii. AATE – African American Theater Ensemble
1. Motion to add $1730 to spring tributes
2. Authorship speech: Danielle: Tribute events take place
annually. Guys tribute to girls, girls to guys. Serve as
capstone to NU experience. We were not funded this year,
for reasons we don’t know. We just asked that this be
funded so we can have successful event next year.
3. Con speech: we recognize that AATE has had successful
programming for tributes in past b/c tributes had not taken
place by spring funding and we wanted to evaluate how
they put on the event and then apply in supplementary
funding.
a. Malavika: event has happened and we do know how
it runs now
4. Motion to previous question
a. No objection
5. Vote: motion passes unanimously: $1730 to AATE
xxxviii. College Dems revisited
1. Motion to add $2500 to return to amount we had last year.
Defer to Malavika: fall event is important to College Dems
and this amount would allow them to continue to put on
2. No con speech
3. Motion passes: $2500 added to College Dems fall event
xxxix. AATE revisted
1. Motion to add $45 to printing and to cut $30 from publicity

xlii. Motion to close spring funding
1. Vote: motion passes
V. New Business
a. Samir: point of clarification: new business is voted on next week
b. Senate Legislation: ASG General Assembly
i. Authorship speech: Matt Bellassai: didn’t author this bill, but I’m
going to introduce it. Point of the bill is to hold General Assembly
every quarter – first Sunday afternoon of every quarter. And in
spring, will occur 2 weeks after new prez takes office. It’s
 mandatory for every member of ASG. No more than 1 hour. But
the whole purpose is to set priorities as a group, following success
of ASG retreat earlier this year. Next week, we’ll have someone
who’s a little more knowledgeable speak on it.
1. Will Upton: did we not pass this?
2. Matt: it’s possible that we may have passed something like
this…state of the government address that calls for
everyone to come together. That would be looking toward
the past as the president reflects and general assembly
would look forward. Would happen at the same time, but
we will clarify it in the coming week.
3. Samir: old business next week
ii. Beau: what’s the shuttle bill?
iii. Samir: what I sent out was a shuttle proposal
iv. Matt: we put together a proposal and talked with Brian Peters, who
are really open to our proposal as long as we use existing
resources.
v. Beau: is there a north/south shuttle going down Sheridan?
vi. Matt: no shuttle that just goes up and down Sheridan, but there will
be a Campus Loop. We’re putting together a survey tonight to
figure out when we can run that. We have 6 hours to run it. We
need you all to get people take this survey so we can prove that we
have support for our ideas.
vii. Samir: talk to people and encourage people to take the survey; will
take effect this fall
c. Dorm Senator Election Guidelines
i. Grace: we made some changes: candidates should follow

o. Nissi: commend you guys on having such a short funding cycle this year
and it kind of gets a little tense, but not meant to be anything against
SAFC and a lot of hard work goes into events and it feels like it’s student
groups against SAFC. FMO is not a programming body. Things might be
advantageous to average black student that do not get funded. Feel free to
talk to me if you want to work with me just so it’s not based on attendance

not fund based on cause and it’s something we’re going to be considering
