Senate seeks student input, schedules pool tour

Student Senate had a brief meeting Monday night when they discussed gathering student opinions for improvements on campus and the rules of solicitation on campus.

Secretary Chrissy Black distributed “walk-through” surveys and asked the senators to go to as many buildings as possible to ask students what kind of improvements they’d like to see on campus. Black asked the senators to return ten opinions by the next meeting.

Vice President James Bahensky distributed a sheet with the school’s rules on solicitation on campus. Bahensky said that people cannot sell things on campus without prior permission, and asked that if anyone sees solicitations on campus to report it to someone.

In other matters, Student Trustee, Riley Machal said she went to Lincoln last week, and the board of trustees was excited to hear about the culturally diverse activities that have been happening on campus.

Machal said she also asked what would occur with student activity fees for the pool. She said that as of now there is not a set fee on how much the student activity fee could be raised; it could be up-to $2 per credit hour or not at all.

Bahensky said that the senators would be meeting early at 4 p.m. to tour the pool in two weeks.

Treasurer, T.J. Thomson, said that there are $11,500 in un-allocated funds.

Senate Sponsor, Jamie Wada, assistant professor of justice studies, said he had looked into getting a Redbox on campus. Wada said that the possibility of having a Redbox on campus would depend on the college’s and Redbox’s policies.
