Agenda

6:30 p.m. Mills Library
I. Call to Order
II. Special Business
- Welcome Dr. Shari Clarke
- Senator Resignation
- Lacey Gebhart officially resigned. Cache voted to not accept it.
- Filing for the newly opened Veasey Hall Senator has opened and will close next Tuesday, October 23, 2007.
III. Announcements and Constituent Concerns
- Laundry machines – the people who own them are going to go around, do a load of laundry in our machines, and then sniff. It’s called the “sniff” test.
- Drew asked if they would wash his clothes while they were at it. We’ll hear back from them
- Karl Lenser still hasn’t told us when he’ll be able to come talk to us.
- If we still get no response, Will Green is going to go over to his office himself.
- Request to get a card-swipe on Trieschmann because its on one of the remote ends of campus and dark too. It was suggested that some non-Hendrix students were in the basement where music-people rehearse and practice.
- Dr. Hardin says to report people like that in those situations, too.
- In the same manner, Mills is always open and pretty dark too; that is a little bit frightening.
- Dr. Hardin said that the cards have not been activated yet, but when they come by and activate them, then it should be safer.
- However, it’s a concern that some particular buildings will not be accessible 24/7. These discussions will come up when the card-readers begin working again.
