Nerf wars and budget requests highlight weekly CAB meeting

The Campus Activities Board deliberated Tuesday over the Pit and RLA’s request for $1500 to fund a campus-wide Nerf gun game called “Got’cha.” After much discussion, Sammi Shaykett made a motion to table the request until the Pit knew exactly how many people were going to participate in the game. Vice President Kyle Klammer approved the motion.

The Pit and RLA are collaborating to cosponsor “Got’cha” on the CSC campus. Nathan Pindell and several guests came to CAB to request $1500 to pay for nerf guns, from either Toys-R-Us or Wal-Mart, and t-shirts from Outlaw Printers. Pindell said these two clubs would use their funds first and then use the CAB money.

Treasurer Luke Wright reminded CAB members that the cost of this event would be approximately that of free movie night.

The Pit and RLA are hoping to make this an annual event, so they would only need this much money to get started, Pindell said. The nerf guns would be used again for later games.

He said that after 3 days of planning, around 250 people have expressed interest in the game, which has been approved by Randy Rhine. The Pit and RLA are planning to start the game the week after midterm break.

Treasurer Luke Wright said that CAB’s account balance is $7,546.43. He distributed letters explaining the upcoming budget hearings, which will be March 21-22. Wright reiterated that clubs requesting less than $1,000 do not have to attend a budget hearing. Budget packets requesting less than $5,000 are due March 4, while packets of $5,000 or more are due March 1.
