In its third meeting of the year, the Student Senate allocated $480 to student programs and nominated or self-nominated members for several committees.
Black Student Union co-Directors Tremaine Thompson and LaTina Lewis requested $450 for fettuccine Alfredo at their fall reception tonight at 7 p.m. in the Fir Room.
Senate also heard from Vice President Sara Hamilton, who requested $30 to buy snacks for a Senate gathering at 3:30 p.m. Friday in the Ben Linder Forum. Senators plan to meet 30 minutes before the Programs Council meeting to mingle amongst themselves and with programs leaders. Both requests passed unanimously.
In another effort to bond, Senator Rachel Lee continued her quest for RSVPs to her potluck scheduled for Oct. 23. Lee made an official announcement that because Senators will be working together all year, she wants all Senators to meet at her house for food, fun and the chance to get to know each other.
ASUO Vice President Kyla Coy announced that the Executive is holding a concert in the EMU Ballroom Oct. 21 to raise money for Hurricane Katrina damage relief.
As part of his duties as ombudsman, Senator Jared Axelrod sent a list around the boardroom table and asked Senators to list all ASUO organizations they participate in that may cause a conflict of interest. This list should be open to the public as early as today.
