A number of clubs on campus are looking to get their hands on more green during budgeting than in past years.
Other clubs are seeing small increases, no change, and even a decrease for one club.
Out of all the SGA sponsored clubs on campus, Sigma Zeta is the only one requesting less money than they received last year. After receiving $905 this year, Sigma is requesting only $900 next year.
The Campus Activities Board and the Lyndon Emergency Responders are seeing no change in their requests for next school year. CAB is entitled to half of the general fund each year for the activities and events that they bring to campus.
A club seeing a large change in their budget is A Society of Students in Service Together. After being allocated absolutely no money for 2009-2010, ASSIST is requesting a mere $250.
There are a few clubs asking for budgets for the first time. The Leadership Recognition Committee is requesting a budget of $355. ROTARACT, is requesting $155, and the Lyndon State College track and field club, is requesting $3,200. The Student Investment Group is asking for $5,000.
Other clubs saw budget increases in the range of hundreds and thousands. The Anime Club is asking for a budget of $1,000 for next year, equating to almost a 20,000 percent increase. American Women in Radio and Television is increasing their budget by 224.5 percent, with a current allotted budget of $3,020 and a requested budget of $9,800 for next school year. The Lyndon Strikers were allotted $805 this year, and are requesting $4,500 for next year. The Lan Party Club is asking to increase its budget from the allotted $554.42 to $1358.92.
The Lyndon College Republicans are seeing a 290.94 percent increase in their budget request. The Spirit Squad requested $7,095 after being allotted only $2244.50 this year-an increase of 216.11 percent. Outside the Box design group is seeing a budget increase of 128.08 percent. Lyndon Ultimate is seeing a 162.36 percent increase in their budget request.
The remainder of the clubs will see smaller increases in budget if they are approved. Alpha Lambda Delta asked for a 20.79 percent increase in their budget. The American Meteorological Society and National Weather Association are anticipating a 43.09 percent increase. The Critic is looking at a 9.93 percent budget increase, while the Hockey Club is looking for an increase of 23.47 percent. The Role Playing Club asked for a 43.51 percent increase, Rugby will look for a 7.80 percent increase, and Students for Campus Conservation an 11.42 percent increase. The Student Government Association is planning to increase their budget by 33.15 percent, the Twilight Players are looking at about a 56.33 percent increase, and WWLR hopes to see an increase of 32 percent.
