-          Anu: last semester you did group passes, this time it’s on an individual case. What if some students want to go once?

-          Tom: this is more of a CAP thing

-          Wray: give more than $1499 to GoalFive

Abstain: 1

 

Wray: we will not discuss because Leah is not here

-          The idea is to disband SFC committee à it’s not worth having anymore

-          We will discuss it when leah is here

-          We will also add freshman, sophomore president and vice-president to ASHMC

-          Wray: comments?

-          Marielle: I think SFC is nice because it invites professors. It would be good to have funding for student-faculty social events

-          Wray: we will have to write a new setup. It would be good to have freshman/sophomore presidents here.

-          Marielle: why is Social Committee in DAC?

-          DAC chair: talk later about it.

-          Lawson: if freshman class president and vice president aren’t really doing anything then why do we have them?

 

Proposals Presentation

-          Wray: Anyone have any?

-          Wray: How much money do we have?

-          Anu: around $9000

-          Foley: speaking of proposals, Aurora had some proposal sheets

-          Marielle: I talked to Aurora about this. It’s a concert series. The band asked to rent equipment because of fear of blowing out amps etc. SFC helped cut down the cost. Social committee was still reluctant. The bands asked $2,500. Social committee gave $2,000. They actually need more than $2,500.

-          Wray: so we are looking at creating a concert series?

-          Marielle: yes, it’s also not alcohol centered. It would be great to have a separate fund since we are paying the bands very little.

-          Wray: any comments?

-          Foley: are we voting on this today?

-          Foley: are we going to have a director?

-          Marielle: I can do an interim position, but when we formalize the role of the position, we can get a director. An appointed campus concert director would be great.

-          Wary: the idea today is to fund IHTP out of a goodness of our hearts and to create the concert series and someone who can overlook it.

-          Marielle: we can wait and formalize later

-          Wray: can you tell IHTP to come next week?

-          Marielle: ok

-          DAC Chair: I think this is a good idea, but we should fund IHTP first since it’s next week.

-          Marielle: I agree, we should wait the funding for the concert series since it is worth more time.

 

Wray: anything for the executive session?
