Tuesday September 18, 2007
6:30 p.m. Mills Library
I. Call to Order
II. Special Business
III. Announcements and Constituent Concerns
· Dylan Moore tells us that part of the area around the EcoHouse has an old “parking spot” that has been blocked off now because grass should be there. Dylan’s point: at least put grass there if it is being blocked off now.
· Possible shuttle to Little Rock Airport? Students should talk to Student Affairs during holidays to work something out.
· Cardboard recycling goes into the paper recycling bins.
· Exterminator showed up to Collegeview Apartments finally, but he didn’t have a key so he couldn’t get into some apartments.
· Cafeteria rep (Dylan) is going to fix stuff in the cafeteria.
· Projector or t.v. going to Martin? Options getting looked at.
· Students said they don’t want a smoking ban across campus.
IV. Departmental Liaison Reports
· Clipboards in the bathrooms – not really sure what the deal is. People might not have been complaining who were reportedly complaining… Hopefully within the next week, status will be updated.
· Thermostat in downstairs Martin bathroom ($50-$60 every replacement) might not be removed because they’re tired of replacing it. BJ will get it fixed.
· Burrow door (sounds like dying animal) is being fixed.
· Talking about Front Street parking lots’ steep grades and about the crosswalks.
V. Committee Reports
