UOSA election legislation passed the Graduate Student Senate on Sunday night.

The first bill, already passed by Student Congress, would eliminate any spending caps on UOSA elections.

"(The spending cap) is just impossible to enforce," said Terence Caldwell, chairman of GSS.

The spending-cap measure passed by unanimous consent, as did the second part of the election legislation dealing with polling stations.

Will Delgado, UOSA election chairman, said that in the last election, one polling station was lacking staff.

The legislation designated students to run the vacant polling stations. A new polling station was also added at the Law Center.

GSS also passed legislation approving the polling locations for the spring 1999 UOSA elections.

A bill that would have cleared up a violation of the GSS by-laws failed to pass. Jeremy Stilwell, former general counsel of OU, said GSS is in violation of its by-laws because the Michael F. Price College of Business is not represented adequately.

GSS also approved the Subsidiary Allocations Act, which provides the budget of several campus organizations.

Some of the budget allocations include $1,000 for the Korean Student Association and no money for the American Indian Social Work Association.

Brad Patel, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of Student Congress, explained the absence of funding for the American Indian Social Work Association. He said it was "made clear that if they didn't attend the budget interviews, then their budget would be suspended."

In other business, GSS was scheduled to consider legislation concerning the expansion of the Huston Huffman Center and the Stipends and Salaries Act of 1999.
