EXECUTIVE REPORTS

President: Banquet needs to be discussed again because I’m unable to be there on Wednesday for work. Monday and Thursday are available for me, but its okay if you want to have it on Wednesday I just can’t be there.

Vice President: None

Treasurer: All bills are paid, accounts are good.

Advisor: None

Other: Amanda had to work tonight. She sent out letters for the Housing Guide and she is trying to find new places to advertise because of all the apartments being torn down for the athletic village. Also, we will probably be moving the Renter’s Fair to the 29th of March to have more days to advertise for it.

SENATE REPORT

We had a lot of legislation in Senate. Wilson had three recommendations; one was to ask for further review of the master plan. Another one was to ask the city to open two lanes on Hall of Fame by July 1st. There was also a bill to increase fees for a scholarship in the Study Abroad program, which passed.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

University: If bills come in this week, we’ll meet, but if not then we won’t.

Civic Affairs: We passed a bill that will come up on the floor tonight.

Internal Affairs: We passed one bill and tabled another.

Renter’s Advisory Council: None

Public Relations: Michelle turned in an ad to the O’Colly and she also got the A frames done.

Social Chair: None

Vice-Chair:I sent out an email to people who have 2 absences and only 1 responded. I have a list downstairs if anyone is interested.

Chair:The athletic village should be a big issue with us. We should definitely have an opinion about the fact that 1200 students are out of an apartment. There is one free pizza left, so someone could use that for legislation. There is a Steering/Budget tonight after the meeting.
