Annie (Galloway)-Why isn’t there a soda machine in the library?Ìý

Cafeteria liaison will check up on thisÌý

Audrey (Soph.)- uninvited guest suggestion…Ìý

Wristbands at smaller, regular parties?Ìý

Can’t do wristbands at martin, because they aren’t official events/logistically problematic (too many entrances/etc)Ìý

P-Safe can ask people to leaveÌý

YOU can ask people to leaveÌý

Kate (Huntington)-Parking at HuntingtonÌý

Not enough space, can we not ticket people who park by the space by the garden (Tire marks on the grass upsets facilities/P-Safe)?Ìý

Those with temporary disabilities can contact P-Safe about getting temporary handicap tags.Ìý

Graham (Fresh.)-The new walkways in front of the SLTC are getting pretty muddy can we get a new layer of pecans?Ìý

Facilities liaison is on itÌý

Megan (Jr.)- What’s going on with the Troubadour money? Ìý

SAC is working on it, now that we have a freshman Senator; their committee is fully formed and can meet. They are working on putting together proposal forms that will soon be on the websiteÌý

Hunter (Front/Mills)- Why is the left door downstairs always locked? …it’s aesthetically displeasing and inefficient.Ìý

Dr. Carney-Hall: It has to do with the magnetic reader itself, the mechanism for a double door function costs an additional $5,000, they could only afford one last year.Ìý

Courtney (Media)- Broken Glass in Art Complex parking lotÌý

Please be mindful of cars/tires and not throw glass in that area.Ìý

IV. Departmental Liaison ReportsÌý

Ìý

V. Committee ReportsÌý

Ìý

Financial Committee with Clay Christian Ìý

Galloway Hall CouncilÌý

Requested: $161.22 Ìý

The request is for Additional funding for food for the Galloway Hoedown on Saturday. The original caterers increased their price quote from last year, Galloway Hall Council sought a cheaper caterer/food options and their new and they need more money to cover the expenses.Ìý

Recommended: $161.22 (fund in full)Ìý

Motion to pass FinCom’s recommendation, no objections or abstentions.Ìý

The ProfileÌý

Requested: $310Ìý

The request is for funding for catering by Culinary Club for food for The Profile’s launch party. The Profile is changing things up this year and is trying to attract a larger audience; their previous launch parties have been similar and successful.Ìý Ìý

Recommended: $310 (fund in full)Ìý

Motion: Motion to pass FinCom’s recommendation; passed, no objections or abstentionsÌý

Quidditch TeamÌý

Requested: $1300 Ìý

The request is for funding to send 8 members to the Quidditch World Cup in NYC in November. The proposal asks for funding for hotel and gas fees. The proposal exceeds the $80/room/night hotel cap that FinCom (and many ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ institutions- ie Odyssey) abides by. This request also only impacts 8 students. Overall this proposal reflects a lack of planning, and FinCom also feels that it doesn’t impact a large enough part of the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community to justify awarding such a large sum of funds. FinCom had discussed other fundraising options during the spring allocation process and is willing to continue this conversation. Senate is willing to support Quidditch, but feels this proposal is for too much. Ìý

Recommended: $0Ìý

Motion: Motion to pass FinCom’s recommendation; passed, no objections, one abstention (Anvesh-Village)Ìý

Martin Hall CouncilÌý

Requested: $2487.78 (see attached)Ìý

The request is for funding to bring DJ D.VELOPED to Ghost Roast. Recently, Martin has been trying to bring more established artists to campus events. This additional funding covers typical DJ costs (ie travel, food, lodging, etc). DJ D.VELOPED came to Toga last year and was well received by students, and has great interest in performing. (Local DJ’s had been sought out, but Martin has encountered problems with them, and bringing in a larger/familiar act has proved a better investment/guaranteed success)Ìý

Recommended: $2487.78 (fund in full)Ìý

Motion: Motion passed, no objections or abstentionsÌý

NOTE TO ANY ORGANIZATION APPLYING FOR FUNDING, contacting Clay PRIOR to sending in your proposal with questions/for advice is in your favor, it will help FinCom (and likely positively effect the outcome of FinCom’s recommendation) Ìý

Ìý

Committee on Everything Awesome with Dean Jim Wiltgen and Dr. Karla Carney-HallÌý

Campus security/Uninvited guests (ie The Rando Situation)Ìý

TheftsÌý

Yesterday there were two separate incidents of theft; a backpack and a laptop were stolen.Ìý

KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR VALUABLES/LOCK EVERYTHINGÌý

The backpack was stolen from the Sun Porch, and the theft was caught on videotape (instituted last year following several thefts). The videotape is proving helpful in the process, however the thief has yet to be identified.Ìý

Looks like a ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ student, we don’t think it is one.Ìý

Galloway IncidentÌý

Following last weekend’s Werewolf man break in….Ìý

Annie- Can we get new locks on the Parlor doors? Ìý

Dr. Carney-Hall, Facilities will be double-checking the locks!Ìý

Everyone should have P-Safe’s number in your phone! (501-450-7711)Ìý

Uninvited GuestsÌý

Front Street/other gatheringsÌý

If you have a smaller party/event/gathering with 40ish or more people, you can’t expect not to draw people, sometimes uninvited guestsÌý

BUT know that you always have the right to ask people to leave (tactfully/reasonably) and if you feel uncomfortable doing so, or if they uninvited guests are not responsive, call P-Safe or the RA’s to ask for help.Ìý
