CAB Vice Chair of Programming Andy Martin said that free bowling night will be Saturday and free movie night will be Sunday. The movies playing will be “Interstellar,” “Big Hero 6,” and “The Judge.” To get into free movie night there will be a canned food drive, sponsored by XI Delta Zeta.

Student Trustee Jacob Rissler said he will have a report on the board meeting next week. He also said he was asked by CSC President Randy Rhine to serve on a mission and vision steering team to look into the mission and vision statement of the college. Based on the survey, the administration will decide if the statements will be changed. Rissler had members of CAB also fill out a survey.

Adviser Pat Beu said the health magazine is going through the business office, then it will wait for the CSC brand, and he hopes by December the magazine will be ready to go out to students.

Adviser Deena Kennell, said that she is going to give a tip about etiquette at meetings from now on. Her tips for the night were, “Don’t use phones during meetings,” and “Never divorce the salt and pepper.”

The Senate meeting adjourned after only 18 minutes so senators could take an “exclusive tour” of the new Chicoine Events Center.

CAB allocated $1,500 for free bowling night and $2,000 for free movie night.

Mikayla Gallagher was elected for the new executive position of Vice Chair of Relations. This position will be an elect position for now and Gallagher will be officially sworn in in January.

Stephanie Steele, vice chair of records, said that clubs need to fill out updated club packets by the end of the semester. She said clubs don’t need to fill out page four except to have the club advisers sign. She also said for the Activities Fee Board they will be requiring updated constitutions or clubs won’t be considered for funding.

Beu told clubs that Senate passed the Student Health 101 online magazine and said that as members of CAB, students should care enough to educate peers on issues that may be brought up in the magazine.

When Beu was talking, Martin said he was looking around and saw that many members were on their phones.

He asked that representatives stay off their phones during the meeting because it is disrespectful and unprofessional.
