Pork Barrelling in A.S.
News

On the agenda this week in A.S.:

1. A proposal changing A.S. bylaws to allow the council to fund organizations' summer travel expenses. Submitted by Senator Jason Hoskins.

2. A request for summer travel expenses ($400) from a fraternity of which Senator Jason Hoskins is a member.

Obviously, this is a complete coincidence.

The change to the bylaws is not discreet. A.S. doesn't collect money over the summer, and the budget is already stretched thin. Also, fraternities almost never come asking A.S. for this sort of stuff. Word is that it might pass because no one wants to accuse Hoskins of his own blatantly self-serving actions. But this has generated a significant amount of chatter - enough to prompt Hoskins to send out an e-mail which didn't try to explain his motives, but instead focused on complaining about all the trash talk.

Funny stuff. Council votes Wednesday.
