With the Associated Students Inc. budget now finalized for thenext fiscal year, board members are cruising into the three low-keysummer months ahead of them before the legislative process beginsagain in the fall.

ASI bylaws state that board meetings cannot beheld during the summer when most students are not engaged in campusmatters.

Angel Barajas, vice president of socialsciences for ASI, said that with no legislation to work on, the ASIgovernment office sees little activity during the summer months. Hesaid with next year’s budget passed, many of the directorshave barely been in their offices for the last few weeks ofschool.

“It feels good because now our lastmeeting is short,” Barajas said. “A lot of our peopleare getting back to work, getting ready forfinals.”

Patricia Worley, executive director for ASI,said that ASI as a whole is quite active during the summer.

Divisions of the organization such as PeakAdventures, the business office, the Children’s Center, theStudent Access Center and the Aquatic Center are all open over thesummer.

“The Aquatic Center has its peak timeduring the summer,” Worley said.

Students who attend summer school pay a $129miscellaneous fee on top of their tuition, $35 of which goes toASI.

Worley said that all stipend-paid directorsare required to be available to summer school students for aminimum of four office hours per week. She said most go above andbeyond the minimum.

“Many of the directors spend time makingcontacts with their school’s dean and making plans for thecoming semester,” said Jennifer Millsap, student life andservice program director for ASI.

Worley said that she allows the stipend-paiddirectors to decide whether they will begin working on June 1, July1 or Aug. 1 because many of them have other jobs, vacations orpersonal matters that can keep them from attending officehours.

Millsap said that the current ASIdirectors’ terms don’t technically end until theorganization’s fiscal year does on June 30. After that, theytypically help out with the transition process, assisting the newdirectors who usually start on July 1 into their positions.

“Many in ASI help out with freshmanorientation during the summer,” Millsap said.

Millsap said she will spend the summercontributing to both the freshman and transfer orientations, aswell as conducting interviews to fill vacant student-held paid ASIpositions such as assistant community service coordinator,assistant manager for KSSU, the Sacramento State student run radiostation, as well as a new coordinator for Safe Rides, an ASIprogram that offers students emergency rides home from socialevents Thursday through Saturday nights.

Many in the current administration will bemoving on after this semester.

“Right when I get a chance to know thesestudents as individuals they’re graduating and movingon,” Worley said.

Worley said she’s a person who likeschange, and gets excited about the new crop of people she’sable to work with every year.

However, she said it is difficult to lose theservices of veterans like ASI President Peter Ucovich, whom shesaid has grown a lot and is not the same person he was when hestarted in ASI two years ago.
