Last meeting of the 94/95 ASA Execboard 

	Roll Call: Greg Dunn, Ryan Takemoto, Rebecca F., Kent Lundbergh,
Matt Knapp, Maria Gavieres, New Position: Kim Knowles Rep from the UA Council

	Called to Order at 17:15

	Old Business: Anyone not going to make it to GBM?  Kim won't be
there - but not voting for that position anyway

	Agenda:  Bulletin Board re-allocation
		 Feedback from Summer Mailing
		 Student Complaint resolutions
		 Constitutional Amendment
		 Elections

		
	Bulletin Board Policy:  Get 1 week to take stuff down, then
another week to put new stuff up.

	Greg has re-done bulletin board space allocations - will give us
a list tomorrow

	Greg has meeting with Dean Smith Tomorrow to see if he approves
of our reccomendations for the summer mailing.  So far, his stance has
been "if you have the financial backing, you can do it".  In the past,
they printed 6,000 books for $7500, sent them out to high schools, school
departments, etc.  If they want more copies than necessary for incoming
frosh, MIT should pay for that segment.  

	Hispanics and Latino groups on campus have petitioned for a
common lounge space according to M. Jablonski.  Why haven't they asked
for space from us??   Possible space in Walker which is already belonging
to latino type activities?

	Kent:  Has anyone asked execboard about Metal Detectors at
Parties?  See  minute from 5/10/94 for our last discussion on this.
Admin seems to  have made policy without considering student inputs.

	Kent: Walker Strategic planning committee: "Focus on the function
and mission of Walker"  is having an open house 3/14/94 19:30, Talbot
lounge.  Will be posted to Walker discussion lists, 

	Amendment for the General Body Meeting:

Article V, Section 5, Number 1.
**************
As it stands:
        The offices of the ASA shall be elected to serve for one year at
the first regular General Assembly meeting of the Spring term.  The new
officers shall take office on March 15.  Officers will be elected in the
order listed in Article V, Section 1.

The proposed wording:
        The offices of the ASA shall be elected to serve for one year at
the first regular General Assembly meeting of the Spring term which must
occur on or before the 15th of March.  The newly elected officers shall
take office two weeks following the election.  These two weeks will serve
as a transitional period during which the incoming officers will learn the
duties of their offices from the outgoing officers.  Officers will be
elected in the order listed in Article V, Section 1.

Reason for the amendment:
        The current wording does not allow for any transition between the
old and new officers.  This is undesirable because often the incoming
officers know nothing about how ASA works and what needs to be done.  Thus,
every year the execboard starts from scratch.
***************

	NEW BUSINESS:

	Angela Kwan: Petitioned us for recognition of Stuy Web, they want
recognition from MIT because this will get them sponsorship from the Stuy
Web Alumni Counsel - they don't really want to ask MIT for money or
rooms.    We still don't believe that they fall into the bounds of ASA
recognized groups.  We agree to draft a letter to The Stuy Web alumni
association explaining what the ASA is, what the purpose of being ASA
recognized is and why we don't feel it is proper to offer full student
recognition to ASA.  The idea is we show that the group is  a valid,
active MIT group, and they need to figure that out with something other
than an ASA rubber stamp.


	Recognitions:  MITAAAAA (MIT Association of Asia America Art
Appreciation).    Vote:  5 in favor, 1 abs

	End of meeting
