The Student Association Finance Committee made nearly $230,000 in recommended cuts to more than one-third of the Campus Activities Board budgets on Tuesday.

Members reviewed six of CAB’s 17 budgets and will review the rest during today’s committee meeting. CAB asked for an allocation of more than $750,000 for fiscal year 2005.

Finance Committee Chairman Drew Josephson said they are not working toward a set number to cut and probably will have to revisit the budget after cuts are made.

He said the committee’s greatest accomplishment was getting to as many budgets as they did.

The committee also completely cut the CAB Concerts budget for programming at the Convocation Center, which was almost $120,000.

Steve Illingworth, who sits on the committee but was not allowed to vote on budget changes because he is CAB’s vice president of finance, said he was concerned about cuts made to the Homecoming budget.

“Cutting novelty [acts] and Homecoming was not [very] beneficial to students as a whole,” he said.

CAB President Jen Suerth, who attended the meeting, said she was concerned about the cuts as well.

“There’s going to be nothing for non-Greek people to do on Homecoming,” Suerth said.

The finance committee recommended reinstating CAB Coffeehouse but for about $15,000 less than the requested $27,700.

Coffeehouse was a biweekly entertainment series. Last year, Coffeehouse was zero funded. The finance committee recommended cutting a new budget for this fiscal year, called Global Awareness, which proposed a $30,836 budget.
