IV. Old Business
Activities Fee- Nate presented the idea of adding an athletic fee to the student activity fee so that the Senate does not have to decide each year how much to give Athletics, and it is a large portion of the overall budget. The activity fee was just increased last year, but the athletic fee is not currently separated from the activity fee. Discussion ensued about the athlete’s fee. The question arose as to whether or not the athlete’s fee would be charged to everyone or just the athletes. PSU currently has a sporting fee, which is applied to ALL students. The activity fee has already been increased to $75. Betty expressed disagreement to the extra fee for athletes. The problem is that not everyone plays sports. We need more details to make a decision…
Music Club funding request- The president, representatives and other members of the club were present for the meeting. The president passed around the new budget request. The Senate was impressed by how well prepared they were. They only wished for $300. Harland motioned that we give the club $300, taken out of the fund balance. Motion was seconded by Larry. Motion passed.
Book Donation project- We could not find a non-for-profit group willing to do this. Further discussion was made. An idea was passed around about reselling books that vendors don’t buy. We want to do a service project of some kind, even it is not a book donation project. This matter was put on hold for now.
V. Committee updates: Finance committee- We will have a 50/50 raffle on the 24th in order to be able to buy office supplies. They reserved a table. They need Senate support. Question arose as to what to sell… many people agreed with Cotton Candy. A motion was made to let this event happen. Seconded by Harland. Motion passed. The event starts at 9 AM on the 24th. Activities- Ideas have been planned for the next few months including Casino night. They have it well planned. Marketing- Still plan on going with the poster contest. They are getting together on Wednesday. Deadline for entries will be December 4th at noon, with judging occurring on the 5th at 10am. Need a staff member and a faculty member to be on the judging panel.
VI. Announcements- Cyberdream event on Wednesday in 109M.
VII. Meeting was adjourned at 1:01pm.
