ASMSU's elections last week drew a record number of voters to the polls.
About 4,900 students voted on MSU's undergraduate student government tax referendum.
About 1,400 students cast ballots in 2002.
A bill to increase the undergraduate student government's base tax by 75 cents was approved by 937 votes.
ASMSU officials said they are excited the initiative was well-received by students.
"They think we're doing a good job," said Missy Kushlak, Student Assembly vice-chairperson for internal affairs.
The increase will mainly go toward a scholarship endowment which would assist students who can't afford to attend MSU because of a possible increase in tuition.
The remainder of the money will be distributed to various groups within the organization.
Students also approved the renewal of the Residence Halls Association's $21 tax and a $3 tax for the Impact WDBM (88.9-FM) student radio.
But the result of the $5 Eco tax initiative, which would pay for renewable energy sources for University Farms, has not been disclosed because the required number of voters is still in question.
When a new fee is introduced by student governments, such as the case of the $5 tax, university rules require more than 50 percent of undergraduate students to vote on the issue. A majority of those students must approve the measure for it to be implemented.
MSU's undergraduate student population is about 35,197.
But to change a fee that already exists, there is no requirement on the number of students who must vote. The $5 tax would be added to the pre-existing ASMSU tax, similar to the way the Red Cedar Log's $3 tax was obtained.
Student Assembly chairperson Matt Weingarden has filed an appeal on the decision to require more than 50 percent of the undergraduate student body to vote.
Weingarden and Lee June, vice president for student affairs and services, will be presenting their arguments before the University Student Appeals Board. Until then, the election results will not be released.
Amy Gregory, an Eco spokeswoman, said the group was disappointed the results would not be released.
She said members of the group may have a chance to speak at the hearings.
"We would love to be involved with the whole process since we proposed the idea," Gregory said. "We put in a ton of work.
"We feel we got a good voter turnout."
Students also passed a bill to allow representatives for the Panhellenic and Interfraternity councils to have voting seats on Academic Assembly.
Both councils have held associated, or nonvoting, seats since 1995.
Steve Schauer, Interfraternity Council representative for Student Assembly and the bill's author, said he was pleased members of the greek community would now have voting seats on both assemblies.
"Academics is our strong point," he said. "We're going to continue to show strong support."
The names of representatives elected for the various colleges were listed outside of ASMSU offices, but are subject to change due to disqualifications.
Any student who would like to fill vacant seats on either the Student or Academic assemblies can apply for an appointment starting next week, said Caleb Marker, Academic Assembly vice-chairperson for Internal Affairs.
