After two small funding allocations, the General Studies Student Council spent the rest of its Tuesday night meeting holding interviews for chief financial representative, as well as hearing a brief presentation on the state of working students at GS. Chris Meyer reports:
A penny here, a penny there: In two minor votes, the council evenly allocated roughly $40 to the Columbia Musical Theater Society and Postcrypt, a student organization that hosts professional and amateur musical performers weekly in coffeehouses on campus.
Handling the money: Three candidates, each of whom had previously interviewed for other positions on the council, expressed interest in serving as GSSC’s chief financial representative. “One of the main reasons I want to apply is because I don’t want to study in this school and, at the end of my fourth year, say, ‘Hey I got to a 3.7 GPA and that’s it,’” said applicant Ethan Ling, a first-year student. “I really want to be involved with the student council, and try to help out the school governing body.”
