Newly elected CAB executive board takes reins, plans for upcoming academic year

The new CAB executive members conducted the CAB meeting Tuesday. They were elected during last week’s meeting. Former vice-president Kyle Klammer swore in the new board members at the beginning of this week’s meeting.

The newly sworn in members, and their respective positions, are as follows: Luke Wright, president, Jamie Keller, vice president, Samantha Evans, treasurer, T.J. Thomson, secretary, Sara Labor, student events; Adam Neumann and Jazzy Seumalo were both re-elected to their previous positions as publicity coordinator and special/cultural events coordinator respectively.

Samantha Evans, treasurer, said there is $196.43 in the CAB account.

CAB allocated $200 for finals’ week activities after some discussion about the budget. President Luke Wright requested the money for snacks and massages, which will be 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., Tuesday – Friday of finals’ week. Independent CAB member Daniel King noted that this allocation would exceed the account balance. Wright said there was some money left over from the last free movie night event, which would also be used. This allocation used up the rest of CAB’s money for this semester.

Wright said that clubs that have ideas for Week of Welcome events for next semester should talk to him or Laure Sinn. The homecoming committee has tentatively selected “100 Years of Homecoming” as next year’s homecoming theme. Clubs will be able to choose a theme for their floats and bed sheets from homecoming themes from the past 100 years at Chadron State College.

Special and Cultural Events Coordinator Jazzy Seumalo said RLA is hosting a “Night in Cancun” from 7:30 – 11:30 p.m. Wednesday at the volleyball courts behind Highrise.
