earliest SUBOG Minutes available on the web).
CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY
Student Union Board of Governors
Attendance: S. Lamont, M. Shedd, L. Gargamelli, J. Walsh, D. Orloske, D.
Ross, R. Campbell, J. Kaufman, H. Palmer, C. McCabe, D. Sarro.
Meeting was called to order by Ms. Lamont at 4:10 p.m. in the Mountain
Laurel Room of Memorial Hall.
Ms. Lamont then asked for committee reports.
House Committee
Ms. Gargamelli reported that the Committee received a request from The
Central Recorder to swap offices with the currently inactive Dial Yearbook.
She indicated that the Committee discussed many issues and finally was
recommending approval as The Recorder was the major occupant of the common
area and spent more time in this area. The office in question has windows,
and it was felt that this would be appropriate. She also indicated that as
the other office area was a bit larger, this would open other possibilities
for use by other student clubs.
MOTION: (Gargamelli /Palmer) To recommend that The Central
Recorder be allowed to swap offices with the currently inactive Dial
Yearbook
MOTION PASSED ( 9-Yes, 0-No, 0-Abstained) SUBOG 97-23
Regarding the remaining office Ms. Gargamelli reported that the Committee
was recommending that all student clubs and organizations be given the
opportunity to request the space for their use. Ms. Sarro asked if
consideration for the compatibility of the organizations with the
activities of the Recorder staff would be given in the selection process.
She was assured that it would. Mr. Orloske also added that the process
would also provide an opportunity to see what the office and support needs
were for clubs as it might relate to the Student Center Addition Project.
MOTION: (Gargamelli /Shedd) To recommend that the office space
vacated by the inactive Dial Yearbook be advertised to all student clubs
and organizations for reallocation
MOTION PASSED ( 9-Yes, 0-No, 0-Abstained) SUBOG 97-24
Budget Committee
Mr. Campbell reported the Committee had been busy and was working with
Program Council to develop a standard financial reporting system which the
Council would use to prepare monthly financial statements for the Board to
review. He said they were enthusiastic and felt it should be in place by
the next meeting of the Board.
Mr. Campbell reported that the Committee did not meet but was active. They
have assisted the Program Council to develop a system of spreadsheets that
will enable committees to mange their individual budgets better. They are
currently assisting in the development of a spreadsheet to enable Program
Council to easily produce a monthly statement of accounts to be presented
to the Board. This is to be accomplished by the next meeting of the Board.
Student Services Committee
Ms. Kaufman reported that the Committee ran two Commuter Coffee programs
that were a success. Over 150 copies of the Commuter Newsletter were
distributed alone with coffee that was provided by Daka. She also reported
that the Devils Den Manager had met with them and is contemplating opening
at 8:00 a.m. rather than 7:30 a.m. as the numbers were very low. The
possibility of keeping the Grand Central Cafe open late during finals was
discussed but no commitments were made.
Program Council
Ms. Shedd gave a verbal report on activities of the Council over the past
month highlighting a successful noon time folk act in Semesters and a
disappointing comedy show. She reported that an Open Mic talent program
was a greater than expected sign up. Upcoming events included a
cosponsored dance with WFCS, a lecture by Kareem Abdul Jubbar, a trip to
New York City, and the major concert of the semester featuring Fiona Apple.
Over 100 tickets were sold already for the Apple concert which is a good
sign the show will sell out.
Old Business
Mr. Orloske reported that a corrected copy of the minutes from the last
meeting was distributed due to a minor error. Also a revised copy of the
SUBOG Constitution was distributed, reflecting the changes made at the last
meeting.
Mr. Orloske also reported that the Addition/Renovation Project of the
Student Center had started and currently the program was being refined to
meet budget realities. He said after the next meeting this week he would
know more and planned to present a more detailed status report at the next
meeting. Questions were asked regarding student participation and Mr.,
Orloske assured members that students from the Board and other groups would
be involved in the workshops during the next month or so. The Board as a
whole would also be briefed and requested to provide feedback on the plans.
Mr. Orloske also briefly described the many other capital building
projects in the works on campus.
Open Floor
Dean Ross invited member to participate in the BOT Student Life Committee
visit to campus on December 10 by attending lunch and sharing their views
with the committee members. Many accepted the invitation.
New Business
Ms. Lamont indicated she had forgotten to report that the Graduate Student
Organization had appointed Mr. Paul Sutera as their representative to the
Board for the year. She requested a motion to ratify the appointment.
MOTION: (Palmer/Gargamelli) To ratify the nomination of Paul
Sutera as the Graduate Student Representative to the SUBOG.
MOTION PASSED ( 8-Yes, 0-No, 0-Abstained) SUBOG 97-25
Meeting adjourned at 4:47 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Duane A. Orloske
Executive Secretary '97-'98
Note: This was the last scheduled meeting of the SUBOG for 1997. The next
meeting will be scheduled for early February unless there is a pressing
need to have one in December or January.
