If any of you can't come or now know you can come - let me know after my report! Also, Sam and I will be canvassing this Friday around 12pm - let me know if you can come! Also, we have 829 tickets sold for major concert.

D.Campus Traditions

1.Hi SAC! Thanks for passing Luck on the Levee today. We're really excited to continue the Xavier tradition. This past week, Traditions had a great meeting where we mapped out our vision for Spring Week. This week will be sending emails to various clubs and organizations asking how, where, and when they would like to get involved. A few highlights for the week so far are a sand volleyball tournament, puppies on the Xavier Yard, Xavier Showcase, a multicultural cook-off, an outdoor candlelight mass with the CFJ, a movie on the Xavier Yard, and lots more. We'll be sure to keep you updated as the schedule begins to fill up. Publicity, we would also love to meet with you soon to discuss some of our promo ideas. Thanks, and have a great week

XIII.Dustin’s Report featuring Dustin Lewis

A.Hey SAC,I want to start off by commenting on the Executive Elections. It takes a great deal of courage and guts to run for office and to stand up in front of your peers - those that support you and those that do not - the way Matt, Keenan, Colleen and Katie did the other night at the debate and to share your hopes and dreams for the student body. I want to congratulate them on a job well done and wish them all luck tomorrow with the conclusion of the election. Out of curiosity, how many of you have voted already? (show of hands)For your Senate Minute, the Senate had three staff members from Athletics this week delivering their report of the administration: Tom Eiser, Brian Hicks, and Brett Sanders. While the report ran a little long with three speakers, they shared a lot of great information and answered many questions related to potential division changes, athletic marketing and also announced that they will again be offering special rates for graduating seniors to purchase season tickets for next year. I am passing around a flyer with more information. Senate also passed IDEA @ X this week - a club supporting Deaf Studies majors, as well as approving X-treme Fans as a University-Affiliated Organization. Just a reminder that UAOs are like a super club and receive line item funding in the SGA budget, versus applying for a club budget.To be a UAO, you must be a current club that has received a minimum of $10,000 in funding each year for the last few years, you must have a dedicated advisor from the university (not just a volunteer faculty or staff), and you must provide a level of service or programming that if absent the university would be lacking a great deal of service or programs. An example would be X-treme Fans; if they did not exist, we would be missing a major piece of athletic support and school spirit.Glenn Arnold contacted me to see if anyone from SAC is interested in participating in the intramural basketball championships coming soon. I will communicate back with him those of you who are interested. This could be good exposure for SAC and a good way to promote XavierFest and the Concert.Senior Week packages launched today and are now available for purchase online. Please share with seniors that they can go to more information.SAC Applications will be coming out this week. LeeAnn and I have been working on the applications and just so you know, each of you who wish to return to the board will need to reapply and re-interview. Applications will be due the week after Spring Break and interviews the following week. Please let us know if you have any questions. We will be emailing the board to let you know when they are online (OrgSync) and available.I have been working on a preliminary calendar for 2013-2014 that I'll pull up on screen. In preparation for NACA, we will be taking this calendar to be able to book artists for events this fall. I also recently went through and selected dates for SAC to use the GSC Theatre. As you can see, there are 7 MAD dates on this calendar. Before everyone panics, I want to note that I believe whole-heartedly that SAC can execute this many MAD events next year. I plan on continuing more conversation with the NEW Late Night Committee in April about this.Finally, NACA attendees don't forget we are leaving on Friday at 9:30am. Please bring your SAC binders!
