Transmitter is in and should be up and running by next week only thing that they are waiting on is the antennae.

■          Vice-President Smith- Told the Senate what the card is for that is going around the room. Need two more senators on Finance, right now have Kent and Tiffany. This is where the student fees are discussed, if that was something you were interested in when you came in this is a committee you should be on. Senator Allen and Frei volunteered. Grant Funding proposals are in and he is just about ready to pass out the packets.
