Student Government held its third meeting of the spring 2023 semester on Feb. 1. The meeting consisted of covering a constitution change and fund request.
To begin, Student Government brought the Residence Hall Council back to the stand for week two of two for their request of a constitution change. The president briefly restated the proposal for the new constitution change regarding a new voting hierarchy. The motion quickly passed and the request for the constitution change was granted.
The next presentation consisted of a first look at the spring semester’s casino week, held by Student Government. This was week one of two, where members of Student Government presented a request for funding of the event.
The request was for $20,800 for a four-day event lasting from Monday Feb. 20 to 23. is included things such as food, prizes, T-shirts and decorations. Some of the table games to be played included “Black Jack,” “Texas Holdem” and a collaboration with Programming Board for a “Price is Right” night.
After the initial look at what the week would look like and a budget breakdown of the different themed nights and costs, the presenters briefly left to let Student Government deliberate. There was some debate on some of the different themed days, what days the events will be held and the overall budget of the event. There was no vote held as that would occur in week two of the request.
Finally, in some closing remarks of the meeting, the commuter lounge is being moved from the SUB to the basement of the library. This will allow the current commuter lounge to be used as storage for facilities and the lounge to be in a better location for commuters.
Another update is that the new SUB furniture is set to come in late next week, a week earlier than expected. Finally, the meeting concluded with each class and club giving their final remarks, and the meeting was adjourned.
The next Student Government meeting will be held on Feb. 8.
