COMMITTEE DISCUSSION:

 

Muslim Student Association

• Requesting $1,550 for 3rd Annual Eid Banquet on October 25th in the Memorial Union ballroom
• Event is to promote cultural awareness
• Successful last year – about 200 attended, 15o students
• The group is covering the cost of the speaker and henna. They are requesting money for catering and decorations
• Coming back next week with accurate quotes

 

Outing Club

• Requesting money for 300 punch passes for rock climbing
• Rock Spot is more beneficial to them than the new rock climbing gym on campus
• Last year successful with 200, but members of the club did not all get to take advantage of the passes because they were sold out
• Solution: manage the punch passes themselves and sell at meeting
• Punch passes are specifically for events
• Student Tax dollars are not to be used, with limited exceptions, for off campus events
• Coming back next week for further consideration

 

The 5 Cent Cigar

• Requesting money to buy a special type of printer – $2,958
• They need 3 options for us to choose from because it’s over $2,5000
• Printer is used to print advertisements daily. The most important use for the printer is that it’s an all in one – scanner, copier and printer.
• Their current equipment is outdated and prints “muddy”
• The “muddiness” is from lack of proper care and hasn’t been maintained in years
• They don’t know how long they intend to keep the printer. They may go with the lease option which is 4 year option.
• They have not investigated into requesting a quote for maintenance kit –
• This printer’s scan and copy options don’t work well
• This is a capital improvement and not typically looked at until the end of the semester
