The 92nd Student Congress met Tuesday night in Peabody Hall at 7:30 p.m.
Forty executive branch external appointments were confirmed by the 32 voting members present. Aside from appointments, most congressional business was financially centered.
A loan of $5,000 that is to be paid back by the end of the school year was allocated to Young Democrats for fundraising. The Comparative Literature and English Association was granted $1,000 for a speaker for
their annual conference.

The funds will be used for day-to-day operations as well asprogram and speaker fees.
