Senate confirms installation of TVs in campus eateries

Senate discussed approved funding for new TVs and Mardi Gras activities at Monday’s meeting.

Nick Brening, senator of B.E.A.M.S.S., requested $3,000 from the Student Activities foundation account and $1,500 from the reserve account. Both amounts were approved unanimously.

Four TVs will be installed in the cafeteria and two in the grille over midterm break with the approved monies.

Creative Dining Services are open for student input for what channels the TVs will be put on.

Jacob Karmazin, president, explained that there would not be any more discussion regarding alternative spring break because there were not enough applicants.

Deena Kennell said that the twenty-person quota had not been met   either last week or this week, and thus the trip would not take place.

Karmazin said elections are coming up for senate positions.  He is presently unsure about the specific date of the elections but he said he assumes it will be that last week of March.  Applications can be found online or in the senate office.

Karmazin said this is a great year to apply because everyone on the executive board because so many of the officers are graduating.

To be considered for president, applicants must have served as a senator for at least a year. For the vice president position, applicants must have served on senate for at least one semester.

Laure Sinn said that this week is Mardi Gras week.  The ball is set for tonight at 9:00.

Sinn said all students should come. She also said there is no official dress code.

There will be plenty of food, a deejay, and t-shirts will be given out.  The King and Queen of Mardi Gras will be presented at the ball as well.

Sinn also said that there was a great turn out for Campus Visit Day on Monday.  Over 50 students visited, Sinn said.
