ASMSU approves budget cuts to Red Cedar Log production funding
ASMSU officials approved a $20,000 cut to the publication budget of MSU’s student yearbook, The Red Cedar Log this week — a cut which will reduce the number of the publication’s printed yearbooks by 4,000. ASMSU, MSU’s undergraduate student government, funds the Red Cedar Log. ASMSU Director of Media Relations Samantha Artley said ASMSU tried to trim frivolous parts of the budget to be more effective with student tax dollars. Artley said the demand for the yearbook is not as high as the number of books printed, leaving extra yearbooks around campus and in storage. Red Cedar Log Editor-in-Chief Vicari Vollmar said in an email that the reduction is a compromise. “Essentially, (ASMSU officials and myself) sat down and looked at what money needed to be cut and decided on an adequate, positive compromise for both of us,” Vollmar said.
