SGA resolution calls for cap on Homecoming lawn decorations

UA sorority houses' Homecoming lawn decorations may require extra thought and creativity next year to be as extravagant as they have been in the past.
The SGA Senate recently passed a resolution that recommends the amount of money that organizations are authorized to spend on lawn decorations be limited to $4,000. SGA Resolution 57-03 calls for a cap on the budget for decorations and explains how the limit would be enforced.
The resolution says $4,000 is a sufficient amount for organizations to spend on a lawn decoration 2.4 stories high. Corporate sponsors will be allowed, but any money donated will be subtracted from the original budget.
Organizations participating in the lawn decoration contest would submit all receipts and a contract signed by the organization's president and Homecoming chairwoman by 10 a.m. on the day of judging. The contract would state that the president and chairwoman are responsible for their organization's integrity in keeping within the spending limit.
Courtney Sanders was Delta Zeta sorority's Homecoming chairwoman for 2003 and sponsored the Senate resolution. She said the resolution is a good thing for the University and said $4,000 was more than enough money to build a quality lawn decoration.
"I was the sponsor [of the legislation], and I definitely support the resolution," Sanders said. "Personally, my sorority didn't spend $4,000. We spent around $2,500."
Though she said she could not speak for other sororities, Sanders said she thought an expenditure of $2,500 was on the lower end of the spending spectrum.
To set the dollar amount for the budget, Sanders said, the resolution's author, College of Engineering Sen. Kelly Wybenga, researched the average costs of scaffolding, lumber, pomps and all the necessities for building lawn decorations. Wybenga added $175 to the total of the necessities to allow for some creativity, Sanders said.
Efforts to reach Wybenga for comment were unsuccessful this week.
Sanders said the resolution would have a positive impact on the University and would help to even the playing field in the annual Homecoming competition.
"If there is a price cap, then everybody will be a little bit more on equal footing," Sanders said. "I also think it will encourage creativity; since everyone's going to be spending the same amount of money, we are going to really have to think to make ours different."
Sanders said most of the sorority members she has spoken with support the resolution.
"I think everyone realizes that we are spending a lot of money on something that is only up for about a week," she said.
