Student Senate to finish tobacco forum plans

The Student Senate members will be voting on two proposals to finish the preparations for the Tobacco-Free Camps Open Forum at their meeting Wednesday.

The Student Senate will meet at 7 p.m. in the Arcola-Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Student Senate Speaker Mitch Gurick, a sophomore business major, said the proposals will provide funds for refreshments and hiring for the microphone system.

Senate Bill 12-13-10 is a proposal to provide $127.08 for food and drinks for the forum.

The money would purchase a large cheese and cracker tray, large vegetable tray with dip, chips and salsa, pink lemonade, and it would pay for the linen charge.

The other bill will approve the hiring of the University Board to handle the microphone system during the forum.

Student Body President Kaci Abolt, a senior communication studies major, said she will be discussing the election process with the Student Senate again.

The members of the Student Supreme Court will be talking with their registered student organizations about the elections.

“I just sent all of my announcements out,” Abolt said.

She said she will send out announcements to the RSOs, Honors College, faculty and staff.

Abolt said the committees will also start having more in-depth reports.

“Some committees are really starting to get going,” Abolt said.

There is no new legislation being presented at the meeting.
