Agenda

Tuesday October 23, 2007

6:30 p.m. Mills Library

 

I. Call to Order

 

II. Special Business

·         Chief Sublett speaking on drug awareness

o       Showed up late.

o       Class Y felony is 10-40-life in prison. Selling drugs – cocaine, heroin, medicinal fall under this category. There was an instance of a large amount of drugs on campus. This is against campus policy. The drugs are seized and sent to cops, and they do what they have to do. Public safety does not initiate entry of any room. There is no widespread problem.

o       Public Safety was called on Front Street due to a breakin. They surrounded the apartment, chased down a suspect, and called the cops. Suspect was arrested.

o       He broke in through an unlocked window. BE VIGILIANT. BE PREPARED.

o       If you have any questions, concerns or have seen something shady, feel free to contact Chief Sublett. They’re working hard and they’re there for you.

                                                 

III. Announcements and Constituent Concerns

·         Library concern with BJ

o       Librarians are loud in the morning. Pote said that it is absurd to tell a librarian to shut up. BJ will send off an email asking nicely.

·         Specialty sandwiches and salads with Ellie

o       Long salad line in caf. Asking for separate lines again for salads and real food. Dylan will get back to us.

o       He’ll also check in on breakfast getting done earlier.

·         Tim Pote

o       Resigning. His letter says “hereby resign” but we took that to mean after two weeks. Junior class senator elections to be held ASAP. Was told he has done a good job.
