SA Begins Investigation into The Spectrum's Budget

The Spectrum student newspaper has become the subject of review by a newly formed Undergraduate Student Association committee that student leaders say is designed to explore the budgets of organizations that receive funding from SA.The SA Senate Allocation Review Committee was created at a Senate meeting last month and chose The Spectrum to be its first, and for the time being, only project.According to Dan Smith, chairman of the committee, the Spectrum investigation was spurred mainly by the fact that publication receives a portion of SA's yearly budget, but no other student associations contribute to the publication."All of us as senators found out all the other student governments weren't paying for it," said Smith, "so we wondered, why were we?"Erin Shultz, editor in chief of The Spectrum, said she feels the move comes as a response to particularly tumultuous relations between the paper and the government.
