By the way
Just as an illustration on how full of shit Vishal Gupta was when he said that the Senate couldn't legally put a restriction on future funding demands by SUPERB and co., read this piece from the "Heuristic Squelch Fee Referendum" (Why isn't this called a "Student Life Fee," too? The other one is soooo awkward):
The Heuristic Squelch, while funded by a mandatory student fee, shall not be eligible for funding from any account in the ASUC, including but not limited to funds controlled by the ASUC Senate, ASUC Executive Offices, Activity Line-Item Funds, and/or the ASUC Auxiliary. But... but... what about future Senates' power? The ballot question is similar and raises many of the same issues as the Student Life fee:
A $1.50 mandatory student fee is proposed to support graduate student groups and The Heuristic Squelch, allowing the fee to be incorporated in student financial aid need assessments and releasing The Heuristic Squelch funds for the ASUC Student Government to reallocate to undergraduate student groups. Do you approve of this new fee? If anyone deserves this special treatment, it's the Squelch. But no one does.
