Senate, CAB gear up for pink-out game

Chief Justice Jon Lordino swore in Edna Hall Senator Taylor Osmotherly; Andrews Hall Senator Marci Luton; and Senator of E.S.P.C.H.P.W. Karson Langley at Monday’s meeting. Osmotherly and Luton were voted in at the last Senate meeting, but were not able to be sworn in until this week. Langley turned in a petition to Lordino a while ago, but also was not able to be voted or sworn in until Monday.

Vice President of Finances Kirby Krogman said there is $129,505.04 in unallocated funds.

Senate Vice President Taylor Strong said there is new furniture in the Student Center lobby. She also said as there are not tall tables to match the tall chairs, so Senate may have to allocate money to order new tables.

Senate President Dillon Spies said the student leadership conference with Peru and Wayne State Colleges will be Thursday-Sunday. He asked that as many senators as possible attend the conference.

Ten letters were submitted for the leadership conference in Orlando, Florida., Spies said.

Next Monday Senate will announce “who won”  to go on the trip.

Student Activities Coordinator Laure Sinn said she was going to go the City Council in hopes of proclaiming November as Native American Month.

Luton and Sinn said shirts were designed for the pink out football game Saturday. Spies will be using the T-shirt gun to shoot T-shirts into the crowd at the game.

Student Trustee Jacob Rissler said there is a tab up on the Senate page on the CSC website where he will post a synopsis of what happened at the Nebraska State College System board meetings.

CAB’s treasurer’s report announced $7,030 in unallocated funds. CAB then allocated $500 for the Haunted House.

There were two speakers at the CAB meeting. Karen Snook, member of the Chadron Chamber of Commerce, spoke about the Moonlight Madness event coming up on Halloween. Moonlight Madness is a block party for kids to come trick-or-treat. They also have a penny carnival. She was asking for volunteers to help with the penny carnival from 4-5:30 p.m., Oct. 31. She said it’s good to dress up because there will be a costume contest for all ages. She also said it’s a good thing to put on a resume. Snook’s contact number is 308-432-4401; Sinn also has Snook’s email address. Snook needs to know by next week if clubs would be willing to help and if they want to set up a table or game for the event. The Chamber of Commerce will provide the candy if clubs come up with a game.

The second speaker was Leslie Bargen, development officer from the Chadron State foundation office, spoke about clubs’ fundraising. She said that because the foundation office runs two fundraisers in the community, she asked that clubs don’t request for straight cash when they are doing fundraisers. The only exception is if businesses get advertising for their cash. Bargen also asked that clubs fill out a fundraising form when they are planning a fundraiser. Forms can be obtained in her office, on the second floor of Sparks.

CAB’s Vice Chair of Programming Andy Martin said there was 278 students who showed up to free movie night Sunday, and they had to turn people away because some movies were full.

Stephanie Steele, vice chair of records, said there are still bed sheets that have not been claimed. She said clubs need to get them from the CAB office if they want them or they will be disposed of after next week.

Sinn talked about the pink-out games. Tuesday night was the pink out volleyball game. Pink bracelets were handed out at the game. Saturday will be the pink out football game. She said the field will be painted and there will be tattoos and shirts handed out. Kickoff is at 1 p.m.

CAB Adviser Deena Kennell talked about the importance of being familiar with the entire Nov. 4 ballot when students go to vote on the pool project. She said students should be aware of what they are voting for so they don’t accidentally contradict themselves with their votes. She also reminded CAB members that Friday is the fall career fair and encouraged students to take advantage of the seasonal job and internship opportunities that will be presented. She said students do not have to dress up but should get out of their “dorm lounge wear.” The fair will be from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. in the Student Center lobby.

“This is the only time in your life that the job comes to you. Any other time, you have to go find the job,” Kennell said.
