Minutes of April 6, 1995 ASA Executive Board meeting ---------------------------------------------------- The meeting tongight was attended by : Doug, Ryan , Russel, Kim, Jeremy, and Steve also in attendence were : rebecca fahrmeier, susan allen, ted johnson Issues discussed : 1]Student Group Space : Walker is under review. Many things may end up happening to it. Kent is on the Walker committee. If you are concerned with what happens there, contact him. Ted wants us to come up with an estimate of the number of groups that still desire office space (and the groups that have space that need larger spaces) for the committee that he is on. 2]Small Activities Office : Complaints that random people were hanging out in there and possibly even non-students were sleeping in there. We should have a meeting with the groups using it to discuss how the room should be used (i.e. should it be only storage, thus no couch) and issues of security. 3]We need to come up with a proposal for office space security. Keyed locks are a problem because the keys are often misplaced or not returned and rekeying a lock is expensive. Combo locks are a problem because they are more expensive, but they allow easier methods of allowing and changing access priviliges. There are about 60 student group offices. 4]Bulletin Boards : a number of groups have not claimed there space and even more are not taking advantage of their space to a reasonable degree. The Muslim Student Assoc. lost their space due to a communication problem (they did not know to submit a space request form). Jeremy will send out a letter to all the suspect groups telling them that they have a week from when he tells them (soon!!!) to make reasonable use of their space and that we will reallocate space that is not being used well then, with the MSA getting the first available spot. I will get this list to Jeremy soon :) 5]ASA Mail : We have a listserv right now. Jeremy will look into setting up a system similar to the Assassins' Guild's method to "moderate" a mailing list. 6]UA/ASA Relationship : All agreed that a situation where the UA gets its operating budget seperate than its student group funding budget from the Deans Office was a better situation than is now. All (even the new UAP) agree that the ASA should atleast have veto power over student group budgets from FinBoard. Most agree that the ASA should be an independent organization. Some agree that the ASA is a more logical board to be in charge of allocating money to student groups than the UA. Doug will look into exactly what the Dean's Office want the money to be doing so that we have a better idea where we stand on this issue. Roger is concerned about this issue and will be meeting with Doug soon to work out the ASA/GSC relationship because he was unable to make the meeting. This is definitley a long term issue. 7]We need people to take charge of specific projects. Right now, we have : Bulletin Board/Office Space : Jeremy Student Group Contact (including mailing list): Kim Alumni Office Funding : Ryan Computer Proposal : Doug Midway : ( I can't remember who it was that took that one...hmmm...) Summer Mailing : ???
