Student Body President Bobby Mills is fundraising to pay for the Red Terror Transit, which Student Government officials said is a co-sponsored project between Student Government and other groups.

“Basically, I’ve already written letters for the Alumni [Association], Wolfpack Club and Athletics, and I’m mailing those out this week,” Mills said.

According to Mills, he is fundraising for next year, and he wants to “share the burden among all four of [the sponsoring groups],” so that each entity would be paying one-fourth of the cost.

But Peter Barnes, Student Senate finance committee chair, said $2,000 from the line item budget of former office manager Cira Mervin will go to fund the Red Terror Transit this year until Mills can raise the money.

“He is fundraising for next year, but he’s also supposed to fundraise for this year,” Barnes said.

According to Barnes, part of the issue is in the Student Body Statutes, which states that the Red Terror Transit is supposed to be run for football season, but Mills has also been running it for basketball season — something former Student Body President Will Quick started.

“It’s one of the most effective Student Government programs that there is,” he said. “[But] we’re still waiting back to hear exactly how much we owe. The line item was overextended.”

Mills said Athletics has already set aside money for this year’s Red Terror Transit, which it sent to Student Government, but Barnes said officials are still trying to find the paperwork for it.

“This year, he didn’t go out and get all the money or didn’t talk to the right people,” Barnes said.

According to Barnes, there’s a line item in the Student Government budget for the transit, but the Student Body President is responsible for raising the rest of the money from other sources, as it has been in previous years.

“He’s doing fundraising right now, and whatever money we get back, executive operations has to pay for that,” Barnes said.

It costs about $800 per men’s basketball game to run the transit and about $880 to run it per football game, according to Mills.

The Red Terror Transit is canceled during the Duke game because it occurs during the University’s Spring Break.
