Conferencing coordinator seeks $75k for Galaxy Series’ concert

Conferencing Coordinator Shellie Johns scanned CAB representatives’ IDs as they entered Tuesday night’s meeting.

This was the first test of the new implement to record student attendance at events as a safety precaution.

Johns also revealed that Galaxy Series is having one more event. She hopes it will be a concert of a well-known country artist on April 24, but nothing is official.

Johns is working with the rodeo club on having the event at the Rangeland and Agriculture Center and Pavilion and shutting down campus dining services for the day to have a BBQ instead.

Johns’ estimated cost for the event are around $75,000, but warned The Eagle newspaper to refrain from publishing that number.

“I can tell you it (the concert) is going to cost me $75,000, which I don’t want to see in The Eagle newspaper. So whoever is writing that, don’t write that,” Johns said.

Grounds supervisor Lucinda Mays is in need of group volunteers to help her with horticulture instillations around campus.

Mays can be contacted via her cell phone 308-430-4186. Students must be able to work in two-hour sessions at a time.

CAB treasurer reported $8,408.52 in unallocated funds.

Vice Chair of Records Stephanie Steele still needs updated packets, adviser agreements, and constitutions from several clubs.

Not updating these files could affect the clubs’ budget hearings.

The free movie night scheduled March 15 has been moved to March 22.

Free bowling is this weekend 8-11 p.m., Saturday and free movie night at  6:45 p.m., Feb. 8.  The movies playing are “American Sniper,” “Seventh Son,” and “Spongebob Squarepants 3D.”

The amended bylaws of section three regarding club attendance policy were discussed.

The new bylaws will be in affect after Senate approves them. Any absences prior will not count against the clubs.

The Big Event staff is still requesting clubs’ pledge numbers.

Feb. 13 is the “pink out” themed basketball game. Feb. 14 is the “nerd/senior night” themed basketball game.
