Speaks Out: USAC Surplus Fund Projections

“I think they should spend it improving programs like the Den Pass, where we don’t have to pay additional for the USC game. I heard last year that students had to pay additional to go to the USC game, so this year it was free with the Den Pass. I’d like programs like that to be continued.”

“I think it would be a smart idea to invest it in new student scholarships. I know a lot of students were talking about how much we invested in the new stadium and that a lot of people had wished that it had gone toward scholarships and other things that would have helped us afford our education.”

“Obviously the clubs. The clubs try to go for funding, and there are too many clubs here asking for too much money. I’m hoping that the $300,000 will allow (USAC) to provide more support to the clubs.”

Second-year, anthropology
“Free food. I just want free food offered to me always. I’d also like to see it go toward student clubs and organizations (and toward) supporting the ones we already have.”
