- Friday we will also see a survey on football… against, encourage everyone to participate and give their input.
- ALSO, sometime this week we should see a Counseling service survey.
VI. Unfinished Business
VII. New Business
· Mention of a campus-wide vote on football? That would be cool… even if it didn’t hold any stock with the admins or Board… at least we’d know exactly what percentage of students are for/against it.
· Ellie Wheeler was granted permissions to finish the term as Raney Senator though housing has changed for her.
VIII. Adjournment until January 28, 2008
Clean up: Houses, Apartments, Off-Campus
