Executive Board Announcements 1. President Oshinski In his memo dated April 1, regarding security he stated that the Critical Needs Budget was approved. The Critical Needs Budget was not approved, only the addition of two full-time officers' salaries. Petition tables will be set up in the union for people to sign the cards supporting improved cam-pus security. These cards will be sent to the members of the Ways arid Means Committee which is the committee in which the officers' salaries will be considered. When the Senate Finance committee;-passed the University's budget, it took some money out of the Business and Economics College budget which knocked out an additional 10 faculty members for this college. Rick talked to President Goodall who sees no problems in that money being restored through the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. Goodall spoke with Senator Horn who was the Senator that actually made the move to do away with the money, and Horn said that he would not oppose it if Ways and Means decided to restore the money.
