Guidelines set for club recognition
Campus Times
October 4, 1996
Many students at the University of La Verne are involved in different clubs
and organizations on campus. The majority of these clubs and organizations
are recognized by the office of Student Life.
Being recognized means that there are at least 12 members in the club, they
are eligible to receive Associated Student Federation (ASF) funding and
are invited to participate in Club Fair and Homecoming. They are also eligible
for any prize money connected with the above events, and are eligible for
a club mailbox and use of ULV facilities as an organization.
In order to start a new club on campus, a group of at least three traditional
undergraduates must register with Melissa Jaunal, coordinator of student
programs, and the Office of Student Life.
This process is different than it was in the past, because organizations
are now able to register without having the full 12 members it takes to
be recognized on campus. These members are still invited to participate
in Club Fair and Homecoming, and can still use any ULV facilities but are
not eligible for any ASF funding until they can attain the 12-member requirement.
According to Jaunal, new clubs being recognized this year are ULV Society
of Accountants and Prism Magazine. In progress is Alpha Kappa Psi, the professional
business fraternity.
"These clubs have been around for awhile but have now just gotten around
to turning in their paperwork to be recognized," said Jaunal.
There has been an interest this year in starting a surf club, a ski/snowboarding
club and a rugby club. Jaunal has only heard of these clubs, and is still
waiting for them to turn in their packet of information so they can be registered.
It is mandatory that all clubs and organizations submit information annually
to gain and continue recognition at ULV. Some of the information included
in the process is a completed recognition card, statement of purpose and
goals for the year, most recent version of the Constitution and bylaws of
the club/organization, an anti-hazing policy, a list of membership list
that includes the 12 member requirement, all officers, and a campus adviser.
