CAB encourages clubs to co-sponsor The Big Event

With the Big Event’s budget reduced to $5,000, Vice Chair of Finance Isaac Langan, senior of McCook, proposed that clubs help co-sponsor the event.

Langan explained each club may choose how much they wish to give regardless of the amount. If numerous clubs donate, Langan said The Big Event can have a “full day” and make an impact on the community.

“You guys will share that [money] with The Big Event [and] slap your club’s name on with it ,” Langan said. “With each of your individual budgets, you won’t be able to get anything nearly this big done. You can pull it all together [and] The Big Event can happen.”

Clubs interested in donating money toward The Big Event must inform CAB by 5 p.m., Monday, Nov. 19. Deena Kennel, CAB faculty adviser, hopes the budget predicament will result in increased student participation in the future.

“This entire situation has created an incredible amount of awareness among the student body which hopefully leads to an incredible amount of participation,” Kennell said.

Clubs interested in viewing their remaining balances for the year should meet with Langan within this week. Since club treasurers are in charge of keeping each club’s budgets, this will be a rare opportunity for clubs to sit down with CAB to go over their budgets.

“We are not going to offer to let you see your budget very often, so I would take advantage of this opportunity right now,” Vice Chair of Records Kristina McGann, senior of Broken Bow, said.

Members of CAB stressed students to register for classes. Approximately 500 freshmen and sophomores need to register for spring courses.

Applications for the student trustee position in Senate are due 4 p.m., Monday, Nov. 26. Applications can be picked up at the Student Senate Office and must be submitted to Crites Hall Room 336.
