Kid from NESBE brought new contact info but no rerec paperwork. ASA girl is holding on to paperwork waiting for treasurer to sign. Said she\u2019ll hand in sometimes this week.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: We can\u2019t not rerec 33 organizations<\/p>\n Prata<\/strong>: If they were at last presidents meeting we talked about it for a long time<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: I think we should go to Cigar and make a big deal about it.<\/p>\n Messineo<\/strong>: Groups that weren\u2019t at either presidents meeting and didn\u2019t hand in paperwork, assuming their done.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: we need to explain it\u2019s a yearly audit to make sure things are being spent how they\u2019re supposed to<\/p>\n Messineo<\/strong>: If paperwork not in by next Tuesday going to miss first day to book event.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: No mercy on that<\/p>\n Messineo<\/strong>: Once everybody is recognized work on listserv. United nations girl wants to get recognized immediately. She came to SOARC, national convention money, wanted to get some travel money, wanted to get recognized and get money and she has to register for event. All needs to be done in 3 weeks. I\u2019m going to write up bill, we\u2019re in favor as organization, but shouldn\u2019t be recognized immediately. Geology club also wants to get recognized. Rerec on floor next week. Because might be another 33 groups.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n MacKinnon<\/strong>: Like it and adjustments made to it, stipended?<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: Yes required for 3 office hours. Used same whereas but cleaned up language a bit.<\/p>\n Sinapi<\/strong>: If the got bombarded?<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: I mean if they get too many then that is legitimate question I didn\u2019t want to say binders specifically because it might not be, do you think we have 5 people to sponsor it or do we vote on it as exec. Exec bill Wednesday I\u2019ll ask for recommendation. If there is debate, DOC position has a lot of work added on and secretary has expanded powers. If you reject 2 of my appointees then the senate chooses. Appointees have set work load but chairs don\u2019t always.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: I\u2019m planning appointed Holzman if it passes because he has been here longest. Said we should use 3rd<\/sup> party sources.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Treasurer<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n MacKinnon<\/strong>: Paying bills<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Academic<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cologna<\/strong>: Just got out of the BSAC meeting. Talked about stuff in college of business. Assistant dean brought up state of learning for students one thing I brought up was a lot of other majors have living learning communities but not business. Exploring whether or not to create one, or what can do in general to make them interact more in the first 2 years. We don\u2019t make friends. Pharmacy is all very close, also CELs nursing and engineering. Housing asked if she wanted to do it or not and she has said no but I told her it\u2019s probably better. Told her to talk to Dooley. College of business offering a passport class, prepping for your senior year. What internships to look at, when to apply. Then senior year prepping you for life after college. That\u2019s my job and I love doing it. Emailed professor who sent students to groups. Meeting with provost next Tuesday.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: When I was academic chair talked about ID where you can get 24 hour access to class with your major stuff. Follow up about that. Think it would be good.<\/p>\n Cologna<\/strong>: Temporary solution in lounge in residents hall most tech advanced classes in New England. But haven\u2019t found out about CBLS thing yet.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: When board of governors votes on recommendations for budgets were going to need to look at that, its going to effect us all.<\/p>\n Prata<\/strong>: Psycho professor who stole kids phone, must have gotten phone back because she gave us piece of paper saying that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Segal:<\/strong> Now I\u2019m collecting liaison reports but I guess I still need the rest of the liaisons. Also I need committee minutes I\u2019ve only gotten 1.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stewart<\/strong>: Coalition meeting Thursday but all speakers put me on hold. They don\u2019t know if they can come so they\u2019re going to let me know last minute. Happens to be this day. Thinking about postponing it. Haven\u2019t been able to advertise or tell people. Even if they magically appear I don\u2019t know. There aren\u2019t back up speakers,.<\/p>\n Messineo:<\/strong> Another month<\/p>\n Stewart<\/strong>: Maybe January or February. Wanted to ask you guys what we should do.Won\u2019t be tough to set up room. It wont be a problem, we have agenda, but no one to come speak.<\/p>\n MacKinnon<\/strong>: What consists of normal coalition meeting<\/p>\n Stewart<\/strong>: Won\u2019t be normal. Were going to have a panel. Usually people at a table talking but we don\u2019t want a bunch of old people talking here. More of a forum thing. 3 speakers. 3 different diverse opinions. Each speak for 10 minutes. Past experiences at end question and answer section. Issue is all 3 speakers aren\u2019t sure if they can come. All fail poorly at same time.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: We can do it just to do it because people won\u2019t show up anyway<\/p>\n Stewart<\/strong>: Already had secretary of coalition send out things. But residents don\u2019t want to come here. They don\u2019t like to park or know where they\u2019re going. With the appeal being recent we might be better off not having this now. Only 3 or 4 people will complain. Student life doesn\u2019t even care at this point.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: It\u2019s not even externals most important job. Don\u2019t forget road to the statehouse.<\/p>\n Stewart<\/strong>: Gathering stats on Narragansett and making a binder so next external chair will have it all. Anything we can potentially use.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: How many DUIs<\/p>\n Stewart<\/strong>: Called at inconvenient times and didn\u2019t say in voicemail.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: Only 7 students so we want to see how many altogether<\/p>\n Stewart<\/strong>: Numbers we get are so opposite. Double triple our real numbers. Need to get real numbers major problem<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: I think they count up citations as arrests.<\/p>\n Stewart<\/strong>: Berger sent me proposal for tree thing. Berger wrote it up<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: Traffic light?<\/p>\n Stewart<\/strong>: Not yet<\/p>\n Messineo<\/strong>: stop sign?<\/p>\n Stewart<\/strong>: Going to records to find out accidents at intersection and go to town manager and get stop sign there.<\/p>\n Cologna<\/strong>: How many if any boy scout troops in area? They need to do massive service project so if you advertise a lot of things that need to be worked on that will improve our image and theirs. We would paint fire hydrants. Lots of things they can do. Boy scout camp that processes 10,000 kids a summer. 7 week program.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Boiteau<\/strong>: Supposed to have speakeasy tonight but didn\u2019t come. Wildlife kid brought me contract. Asking for contingency and charging for event so made contract that they can donate after all contingency is paid back. Senate is getting new computers and 4 Microsoft 2010. As soon as computer comes in start inventory. Didn\u2019t get alcohol free money this year, so I\u2019m having a meeting because numbers Kim provided were different from what he had.<\/p>\n Cologna<\/strong>: Plenty of write-ups<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: Might have compiled that money into diversity fund<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: Splitting summer activity tax with us and Providence campus<\/p>\n Cologna<\/strong>: Sailing came to finance last year and were charging?<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: Should be free but biggest cost is insurance<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sinapi<\/strong>: Talked to lawyer and enterprise was still talking about it competing effort. Said we told them no. Chrissy Juhr vice chair. Approved.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: Major update on senate projects, guaranteed that by Fall 2011 playing on intramural field. Convince people in charge of electricity that we aren\u2019t going to wire underground. If we go underground it would cost all $300,000. Trying to convince poles are way to go. Other update they aren\u2019t moving challenge course. Not going to spend $100,000 plus to build something we have. We\u2019re 1 step away from having building designed. Going to go quicker because just hired firm because they\u2019re understaffed so more employees. After building designed state purchasing to get contract we funding rock wall their building building. We\u2019ve been approached about basketball courts I said no till we get fields. Outside, it would be important but this needs to get done first. Hopefully will guarantee more progress. Next thing, want to close Tootel east and so it wont be open to general students. I said I\u2019m not comfortable, Dugan understands why they\u2019re doing it, but I suggest we do something about it. Send out survey monkey about it. Got $2 million to build gym for athletes to train at. I think IFC and Panhel need to be involved talking about reestablishing Presidents Cup. That\u2019s even more recreation. Raised $2 million in donations from former athletes and supposed to get $5 million for new facility so now they need to spend it. It wasn\u2019t in budget proposal to repair court in Keaney. They close it for wrestling and football. Talk about keeping gym open later but same people will just stay an extra hour. I don\u2019t like plan, I think is terrible. Other option is to replace cardio area. Move it. New $11 million facility with cardio area.<\/p>\n Prata<\/strong>: What is the in-between time?<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: They wouldn\u2019t do it till new one<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: Wang to keep old gym because faculty and staff pay for memberships and commuters use it. I think it would be huge detriment to close gym<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: People always perceive athletes on this campus as privileged. They are their own community of students. Issue is I think there would be some kind of backlash between intramural.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: They\u2019re all segregated by teams too. I said we weren\u2019t ok with it and need to draft resolution and talk to proper administrators.<\/p>\n Cologna<\/strong>: Tennis courts, what\u2019s up<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: I don\u2019t care about tennis<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: Kim\u2019s birthday is November 18th<\/sup>. Ideas for homecoming?<\/p>\n Cologna<\/strong>: Pumpkin catapults<\/p>\n Messineo<\/strong>: Pie eating contest<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: Make your own candy apple? And face painting and hot apple cider?<\/p>\n Prata<\/strong>: Date?<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: October 23rd <\/sup>10\/11 in morning, plan on being there at 9<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: Sad note, lost student this week in car accident. Moment of silence tomorrow night. Wish I had more details.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Davis<\/strong>: I was late because I came back from MCC and met presidents and members from ACN. In meeting, asked people questions, what are issues they see on campus. What senate can help with. \u00bd of 6 people for trips is not enough money. I\u2019m going to write questions down for exec and I\u2019d like for you to help me answer so I can keep credibility and relay answers to them like I said I would. Also lack of info about how senate works or knowledge of senate. Means they weren\u2019t trying and didn\u2019t come to senate office. Asked if they had bylaws and handbook, but couldn\u2019t understand it. We need to simplify info more. Organizations supporting other organizations. Want to foster MCC with Greek life. Lack of recognition for being multicultural organization. They meant more of judgmental thing. Went to some event and faculty gave praise to Greek life and stuff but the MCC students feel like they don\u2019t get recognized. I don\u2019t know if everybody agreed but majority did. Place of refuge on campus to call own<\/p>\n Sinapi<\/strong>: MCC?<\/p>\n Davis<\/strong>: Broght up but they do so much so its hard for the MCC students and organizations to go there and say this is our building when classes are going on there. They can\u2019t just come chill when they want to.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: They can have group office in union<\/p>\n Davis<\/strong>: More of a socializing place<\/p>\n Cologna<\/strong>: Union<\/p>\n Davis<\/strong>: Difficulty in accessing senate funds. Lady from Hillel center wrote this. Issue with that was they want it simplified more. Reading finance handbook is hard<\/p>\n Boiteau<\/strong>: It has to be strict<\/p>\n Davis<\/strong>: It is not hard but the procedure is difficult<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: When come in we walk them through how to get it.<\/p>\n Boiteau<\/strong>: I have been helping groups if they ask<\/p>\n Davis<\/strong>: Student senate difference from last year and this year. Told them don\u2019t look at it as negative, those people aren\u2019t here, so try and look at us in a new light. Hard to change bad image if you have bad image. If senate hasn\u2019t affected you personally next time you come and if you get turned down then I grant them to bad mouth us, but until it happens don\u2019t. Then went back to this, next thing is lack of multicultural competence. Skipped it because it\u2019s bullshit. How can we help people to understand?<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: friend on facebook<\/p>\n Davis<\/strong>: Told them that and were trying to be an aid. Everybody is busy but don\u2019t have same schedule so if you even stop in and say you\u2019re from senate and showing support so they know. That we\u2019re trying to be a resource and help them. I\u2019m going to tape this up and get info and relate back to them. Meet with IFC and Panhel and have MCC organizations and Greek life work together. Start doing socials. Looking to do next semester. November 8th<\/sup> either dinner and movie or just a movie and on November 9th<\/sup> were going to help NASA for their event. Then Gingerbread making contest and maybe a food eating contest. No hands and eat the pie, it would be something different. A person from each organization be in contest. Incorporate everything.<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: How do we pay for gingerbread houses?<\/p>\n Boiteau<\/strong>: Purchase rec?<\/p>\n Davis<\/strong>: About to make advertisements so people could know and start planning. October 19th<\/sup> first day to submit events. Finalizing events for semester so if you want to do anything leave me a note.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: I\u2019m going to try and talk to people at CCE they have some form of student advisory group so I want to see if we can create a position for Providence campus where they can talk about their issues but don\u2019t need to commute to meetings. A lot of students here even drive up for classes.<\/p>\n Davis<\/strong>: Since we\u2019re senate if opportunity came about where we can save money for phone internet and cable. If business came here and had a proposal?<\/p>\n MacKinnon<\/strong>: In my phone something about website on Friday?<\/p>\n Coates<\/strong>: We\u2019re going to meet 11:30 Friday to talk about website and online.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Boiteau, Coates, Cologna, Davis, MacKinnon, Messineo, Prata, Segal, Sinapi, Stewart \u00a0 Vice President Prata: Meeting about question 2 stuff.
