Standing next to blue books and application forms, an empty candy bowl found a new home Monday in the ASMSU Business Office.

The office, located in Student Services, soon might join the dozens of college and department offices on campus that provide a bowl of free candy for visitors.

On Thursday, Comptroller Mike Trudeau plans to present a bill to the Student Assembly regarding his "Candy Initiative," and if it passes, candy would fill the bowl beginning after spring break.

Trudeau said he contacted representatives from Housing and Food Services for their backing on the bill, and he brought a proposal before the student group Respecting and Understanding Body Image, RUBI, Monday.

Next to the bowl, there is a stack of surveys inquiring about visitor candy preferences. Trudeau said he has received about 15 responses.

Trudeau said he also would like to rotate advertisement stickers on the candy, to promote ASMSU services or upcoming events.
