-         142 students on mailing list

-         Neiman: requesting $200 extra for rest of the year

-         Atwood: what are you doing for activities?

-         Neiman: we have some ideas, such as glow in the dark bowling. We believe more members will throw ideas

-         Sontag: is it fully subsidized for students?

-         Neiman: yes, but it also depends on activities we do.

-         Sontag: internal fundraising?

-         Neiman: we haven’t done it yet. We are thinking of doing t-shirts

-         Foley: ask CAP for money?

-         Neiman: not really, we don’t want to become a subsidized part of CAP

-         Foley: who is on the planning committee?

-         Neiman: several people

Proposal:  Summer Social and Summer CAP  (Taylor Neiman)

-         create a summer CAP and summer Social because not everybody can afford activities because of Summer Math. Transfer allocated funds to these events.

-         Summer CAP: LA trip

-         Summer Social: throw parties, not necessarily alcoholic

-         Wray: will this help DOS?

-         Noda: yes.

-         Wray: I suggest talk to Oksana and Ginna and perhaps combine with DOS and CAP for Summer CAP.

-         Foley: I like the idea of appointing a Summer CAP position

-         Neiman: Summer Social would just be like School Social

-         Marielle: we need money in order to get this going?

-         Wray: wouldn’t it be easier to just get a Summer Fund.

-         Marielle: we would like to save some for it rather than hoping that some money will be allocated from unused funds.

Discussion: Summer CAP, Summer Social/ Summer Fund

- let’s talk about it later

Discussion: Finish going over constitution changes

-         Wray: picking up at Article 5, section 5. Getting rid of SFC committee and adding Class President’s committee.

-         Article 5, Section 6: Class Dormitory Government. Nothing needs to be changed.

-         Amendments to bylaws: Section 4

-         Dissolved all appointed positions (already discussed) and add some positions (such as Summer Chair, Rep for Environmental Sustainability Committee, OID committee)

-         Elections for ASHMC offices are happening at the 5th week before commencement.

-         For: 11

-         Against: 0

-         Abstain: 1

Discussion: West fire pit continued

-         west: talked to Tom Schaffer and they don’t have the money. Talked to alums but they haven’t gotten back.

-         Wray: we have the money to get $3000 (Noda knows that $3000 will be matched by other funds). The question is whether we want to give $3000 to West.

-         Foley: let’s put the number to a student vote. What should the number be?

-         Wray: how much do you think west could raise on its own?

-         West: there is not a lot of fundraising except going around the dorm (estimate: $300 - $500). We will spend money that we have on TQ festivities.

-         Marielle: if you make TQ a Mudd-Scripps party then we can give you more.

-         West: the problem with Mudd-Scripps is that it will attract CMC which can be devastating.

-         Marielle: maybe the party can be held at the same time that CMC has its own (May 3rd).

-         Wray: what is the number?

-         Marielle: I am for putting it to a student vote.

-         Wray: since we can see how much money we get from other clubs, we can push this vote to a 2nd election.

- Burritos for last meeting (Chipotle)

- Anu/Foley/Marielle: IHTP got its money

- Byram: Motion to approve minutes

- For: 8

- Abstain: 1

- Against: 0
