ASF Minutes
Campus Times
September 12, 1997
At its Wednesday meeting, the Associated Students Federation (ASF) Forum
voted to change bylaws to the Constitution, discussed activities, future
elections and gave committee reports.
Financial Review Board (FRB)
Bylaw changes to give decision-making power to the FRB were tabled to
allow more time for legislation to be written. Board members debated the
ramifications of giving the FRB the power to handle budget requests.
Because the FRB has yet to meet this year, the Forum handled a budget
request from John Lentz, director of campus safety. He requested $427.50,
half of the cost for 360 safety whistles, which he intends to issue for
increased safety on campus. ASF granted the request, adding the stipulation
that distribution be done in a controlled manner with more education on
the safety whistles given, to avoid abuse.
Committees
The majority of the standing and special committees had not met prior
to the meeting and had no report. The Box Office committee, which controls
the sale of discounted movie and theme park tickets, however reported that
tickets for Knotts Scary Farm would be available on Sept. 29. Movie tickets
will soon be made available for the discounted price of $4. Movie passes
are limited to two per student and theme park tickets are limited to one
per student.
The newsletter committee plans to release its first issue in October.
The issue will cover Homecoming and may include an advice column, entertainment
review, as well as faculty and student articles.
Elections
Applications for new student representatives are due today. General
Forum applications are due Sept. 22 and Special Elections for freshman and
transfer representatives are on Sept. 24.
Activities
The Forum resumed unfinished business on the prospect of sponsoring
"Fun Flicks," an activity that enables students to create their
own music videos. The Forum voted to create a committee to organize the
event.
