She spoke of plans for Winter Week and Spring Week.
For the foreseeable future, Cinema Central will continue their
Wednesday/Sunday format. The
screening time on Sunday may be changed. The Friday night Open Mic series has been successful.
There was some discussion about the possible $40 charges by Chartwells
for keeping Grand Central Café open during Open Mic.
Mr. Schneeweiss stated that, to date, Program Council has not been
billed.
There
was no Budget Committee report.
Ms.

Committee. There was no Student
Services report.
Mr.

reviewed the proposed plan for the bulletin boards in the new Student Center.
He explained that event information would be on the first floor, and
specific club information would be upstairs near the club office space.
He also showed the Board the letter that will be sent to organizations
about office space for 2001-2002.
A
discussion concerning banners hanging over the Student Center lobby from the
second floor followed. This and
other space uses in the new Student Center will continue at later meetings.
Ms.
DePaola, Mr. Davis, and Mr. Chong then gave a report on the recent Association
of College Unions International (ACUI) regional conference.
They felt the conference had some merit but had too great a focus on
staff rather than student needs.
Ms.

regional conference took place in November in Marlborough, MA.
She felt our delegation got much from attending this conference.
MOTION (R. Schneeweiss/T.

During Open Floor, Ms. Collier asked for everyone’s schedule, so that a more
opportune meeting time can be established for next semester.

stations on the first floor of Seth North are noticeably in greater use.
Ms.
