MOTION (M. Moylan/M. Shedd) To approve from the Program Council
Reserve account #994100 a payment ($100 for Social Work scholarship
account #992460 and $400 to the Leadership Training account #994640).
Ms. Susan Sweeney sent Ms. West a memo explaining this request. Dr.
Barbara Sosnowitz was the recipient of a $500 award for the Department of
Higher Education. The money was received too late in the year for it to be
used; therefore, the $500 was "banked" in Leadership Training and reverted
to the Program Council reserve at the end of the fiscal year. This motion
is a bookkeeping procedure to return the $500 to the accounts and projects
Dr. Sosnowitz wished.
Motion passed (15 approved, 0 against, 0 abstained) (SUBOG 96-23)
Ms. Kiernan then presented the Program Council report. Of particular note
was a very successful First Week. The annual fireworks had an estimated
1700 persons in attendance, and the "Mission: First Week" had significant
participation. The scavenger hunt created some genuine interest and public
relations for the Program Council.
The Program Council goals for the year are: steady weekend programming,
filling all open coordinator and executive positions, and becoming more
involved with other clubs and organizations on campus.
MOTION (T. Kiernan/D. Orloske) To approve from the Program Council
Reserve account #994640 past period payments: Spring Week Snapple bill,
$2099.50; Billy Joel Advocate ad, $605.00; Oxford Debate posters, $66.37;
Clockers (shipping), $50.00; and potential Fugees' refunds, $1008.00; a
total of $3828.87.
Motion passed (15 approved, 0 against, 0 abstained) (SUBOG 96-24)
Mr. Orloske then reported on the progress of the plans for the expansion of
the Student Center. An architect will be selected in January 1997 with the
expectation of a ground breaking in fall of 1997.
Committees were asked to review the SUBOG constitution and the Association
of College Unions International (ACUI) as aids in developing goals for their
area for the 1996-97 year.
Announcements were made concerning the ACU-I Region 1 Conference, the
president's inauguration, and the scheduled SUBOG meeting Thursday,
October 17, 6:00 p.m.
There being no further business, meeting was adjourned at 7:10 p.m.
